In the new discussions, is there a way to sort by the date of the initial post in the thread? Not by the date of the most recent post in the thread? Appreciate any help.
@cmuir The Discussions/Announcements product manager indicated that the way sort works in the Redesign may be revised to match the original functionality in a blog post: Discussion Redesign Updates. Many commenters agreed with your point here that the sort should keep replies in chronological order. You might post a comment there saying that you hope they will make that change as soon as possible.
It has been almost six weeks since the product manager replied there, and she said that she would post when it is confirmed that they will return to or add this original sorting. But she has not posted confirmation yet.

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…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
I wonder if others have had this response, but I think it is troubling messaging for students that, no matter how well they may do on an assignment, they are given a signal that anything below a perfect score should be marked/denoted with a red color, as if those grades are poor, or even lesser. I think it is harmful for…
