Is there a way to turn off the reply sidebar? It is awful. It doesn't allow me to see the whole thread as I could before and it posts my reply to the main board instead of the thread at least 50% of the time.
Hi @TriciaVanLaar,
It sounds like you have have Discussion/Announcements Redesign enabled in your course right now. If your school/institution allows, you could disable the feature option to go back to the classic discussions interface without the sidebar.

Oh my goodness you are awesome! This worked for me and makes looking at threaded replies so much clearer. I appreciate it!
@TriciaVanLaar You don't have to revert to old discussions to get rid of the sidebar. The discussion redesign has multiple views.You can toggle between "view inline" and "view split screen". See the screenshots provided. The sidebar only appears with the split view.
The View Split Screen toggle just doesn't work. No matter what, it keeps opening up that awful side panel. Canvas is becoming more and more like Blackboard! Damned! I have hated the new discussion forums since they started and we are all just screwed.

I need to be able to batch edit assignment due dates by section, but right now Canvas can't filter by section for batch edit. My only option is now to manually (tediously) edit due dates for each assignment individually.
Morning! One of the more frustrating aspects of Canvas are groups and the issues that show up when copying courses that have them. But now we have yet another issue. Most recently we have had instances where people mark an assignment/discussion as a group assignment but then do not link the discussion or assignment to any…
So, we have encountered a few assignments where the Speedgrader presents the teacher with the "Empty Course" page, even though the course is not empty. I have discovered two New Quizzes in the same course where this has occurred, despite multiple students being assigned (at Module level, which passes the permission down to…
A teacher has expressed concerns with the recent update. Exact concern is as follows: "My Canvas has been acting glitchy since the last "update." For instance, when I grade essays the highlight and cursor tools do not always work. I have to try highlighting several times,or come back later to finish. It's told me I "ran…
