batch edit or delete discussion posts?

rebelprof

Is there a way to delete more than one discussion post at a time (or like 15)?

In fact, are there ways to batch process any of the assignments, pages, discussion threads? Clicking 3-4 times per item on the course is a recipe for repetitive stress injuries! (and frustratingly slow)

Hi @rebelprof -- do you mean like if you have a new course and have a bunch of assignments you want to delete - to clean up the course?  Unfortunately I don't think there is a way to do it, like clicking a bunch of checkboxes and then deleting.

But one work around (which may or may not be more efficient), is to create an Assignment Group and call it something like "Delete These" and move all those assignments to that Assignment Group -- then you can delete the entire Assignment Group, and all the assignments contained within.  

I feel like this has been suggested before, but I can't seem to find the Idea in the Community.  You can suggest this idea here:  https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Ideas/idb-p/canvas-ideas
