I want to reorder my discussions BUT when I click on the discussion to drag it up, it doesnt 'stick' where I want it
Hi @sue_simeson,
If you want to put your discussions in a specific order on the Discussions index page, that's what the Pinned Discussion area would be for. You can drag your discussions up to that area and put the in the order you want them to appear for all course users. In the Regular Discussions area (the middle section), the discussions will be automatically be reordered according to which one has the latest post/reply. The How do I use the Discussions Index Page? - Instructure Community - 886 guide covers this information in more detail if you're interested.
Hope this helps!

Good morning, @sue_simeson ...

Hope this helps as well!

Is it possible to for anyone (student or instructor) to delete a comment on a grade? If so, is there a log on the backend showing that it was deleted?
I am having an issue where my gradebook will not sort the assignments in date order. It seems to only impact discussion board assignments, but I cannot see a rationale for why they will not group themselves with their counterparts. The only factor that is new is that I am using the new feature where I can set a different…
Hi everyone, Is there anyway I can download all discussion posts, similar to downloading assignments? Thank you. Zehra
Could there be a feature added (or maybe there is something out there already) to limit not just the file EXTENSION but the file NAME as well? For example, instead of just requiring "XLSX" extension for JoeSmith-Assignment1.XLSX, we could require "*Assignment1.XLSX" for the filename. This would ensure that students submit…
Among all the things that I wish Canvas had is that one! Is it something that is been worked on? We had it in Blackboard (legacy) and I sorely miss and need in Canvas (we just transitioned to it from Bb). Please add this very needed feature!
