Can an instructor or other student revise, edit or delete a student's response to a discussion post?
Yes, an instructor can revise, edit, or delete a student's response to a discussion post. As an instructor, I will occasionally edit a student's response if the student has used wonky formatting or created a duplicate response.
No, another student cannot revise, edit, or delete a classmate's response to a discussion post.
If you're a student and concerned that your response has been changed in some way, I would recommend reaching out to your instructor.
I just tested this in Canvas as a teacher. I can revise my (the teacher's) posts and I can revise a student's posts.
I do not think a student could revise another student's posts.
Assuming you are a student, and you are worried someone edited your post:
Start taking and saving screen captures so you have proof. Complaining without proof will not help.
Ask your instructor if they edited your post.
Thank you for this reply. Yes, it is clear my posts have been edited and I have been going crazy trying to figure out what happened to them.

It'd be nice to be able to limit auto-feedback to section so that when working on feedback in class, your feedback is given by actual classmates rather than students in different sections. This would make it so that the students could ask their classmates questions about the feedback in person!
I think it would be nice to have the option to make the WYSIWYG editor the full height (instead of a fixed position when you open the assignment editor). Then just have the editor tools stick to the top of the page as you scroll through the assignment. This would make is so that you don't have a tiny view to work with that…
Screen readers seem to read out the LaTex and not the equation.
Whenever possible, I prefer to have my students take in-class quizzes and tests on their laptops. But to make sure that they do it in the classroom, I've always put a password on the assessment and then given them the password. That way they can't take it somewhere else on their own (or somewhere else, not on their own).…
