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.

But whenever I go into editing, the formatting in some of them breaks down: the video size shrinks down, or I'm left with an empty blank space. I think I've narrowed down the cause of this issue: Some of these…
The most recent quizzes and question banks (including renames) are not showing up as options in the Course Import Tool. As I was creating a new quiz in one course (Classic), I went to add the questions from the Question Bank, but what I needed wasn't there. I went back to the other course to make sure everything was…
In the wake of the recent Canvas security incident, many instructors are rethinking how they protect their course materials and ensure continuity for students if the LMS becomes unavailable. A common question we’re hearing is how to effectively back up courses “just in case,” especially with an eye toward re‑distributing…
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
