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 ...
In addition to what @chriscas shared, I wanted to also provide you with a link to this Guide...which also gives detail on pinned discussions. Also, take a look at the second paragraph in the light blue box at the top of this Guide ... as it discussed moving discussion topics.
How do I pin a discussion in a course?
Hope this helps as well!

Yesterday, after much trial and error…I concluded the new quizzes matching choice options do not work as I expected, and have used with other LMS. I thought that I could provide students a matching choice quiz with multiple attempts that would report incorrectly answered matches on the first attempt, and display the…
I have seen documentation that says you must recopy your iCal link and resubscribe when you are enrolled in new classes, does this mean my iCal feed link changes each time, or do i just need to re-fetch the .ics file?
We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
