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.

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.

Hi all, I'm looking to see if this has happened for anyone else. A student completed a Classic Quiz and one question was counted wrong that should not have been. In the quiz settings, the instructor entered 9 possible answers for this question. The student entered one of these answers. However, that particular question was…
Looking for the addition of partial credit for alternative format questions in Canvas, like ordering and category/matrix. We can only do it in close drop down, matching, and multiple response.
Has anyone found gaps in their course analytics ? I'm currently seeing missing last view date, last participation date, and participations at overall course level, even though the same data is present at individual week and student level. Am also seeing truncated asset counts ie we are seeing only the global header counts,…
It would be very beneficial for observers (parents) if they could view instructor comments. If they had access to this information, they could better understand the grading of individual assignments and better understand the errors that their student made.
