My students write reflections monthly in a discussion thread. Then other students within the class comment on each reflection. I want an easy way to print the entire discussion board. How do I do this? Thanks.
The easiest way to print a discussion is to use your browser's print function. Canvas pages are written so that only the main part of a page is printed (ignoring Global Navigation and Course Navigation), but right-clicking anywhere within your students' thoughtful reflections will ensure this. If it's a graded discussion, selecting the frame that has the students' work before printing will make the printout more complete.
The problem was, the need for an "easy way to print the entire discussion board."
This was not solved. The solution offered will produce one discussion post at a time, or perhaps the remarks of one student at a time. Discussion posts may be used for more than grading but also for helping lead course discussion, or scan all for comprehension.
This solution worked in 2023, but it does not work in 2025. Did Canvas take away this functionality?
Printing discussion threads after you have moved to the "Discussions Redesign" is not possible, at least in my trying it in Chrome, Firefox and Edge. It is not possible to print the entire thread. It is also not possible to use (or force the use of, via prepending the url with about:reader?url=[discussion_url]) Firefox's "Reader Mode" to strip away formatting to print the page.
The crude workaround we found is to "Save Page As.." open the HTML from local storage, the activate Firefox's reader view to strip away formatting and then print from that. This works.
Instructure, this needs to be fixed!

We have enabled the automatic migration of Classic to New Quizzes. When we import QTI files, though, they always fail to load as New Quizzes. If we disabled New Quiz Migration, it works. Why does it only work for Classic Quizzes? Are there any guaranteed tools that will generate QTI files that will import correctly as New…
Is it possible to change the system-wide notification defaults for a hosted Canvas instance? Since I can't find a way to do it, nor any reference to doing it, I'm assuming not but wanted to make sure before I give that as an answer.
Hi everyone, I had a teacher reach out with an odd (and concerning) LockDown Browser issue and wanted to see if others have experienced something similar. A student was taking a quiz using Respondus LockDown Browser on a Chromebook 300e Yoga G4 (8GB), a 2‑in‑1 device that can flip into tablet mode. During the active quiz,…
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…
