The redesigned discussions are causing all sorts of unhappiness. We want them to default to expanded threads and an "oldest first" sort. Is there a setting to make this happen?
Just to make sure this thread has the most accurate information, these options were added in the March 15, 2025 Canvas release, details at Canvas Release Notes (2025-03-15) - Instructure Community - 634458.

I second the part about expanding threads by default - I've had several faculty already requesting this, and we're less than a week into the term. I'll also add that the threaded replies need either a more significant indentation to them or some type of background color difference (light grey, like in Excel's tables).
Please let us choose the defaults per course. Having posts hidden by default does not work for the majority of our faculty

If the students have to click in order to see our replies, it's not really a discussion. PLEASE change it back!

I assigned the first draft of an assignment. Each student got rubric comments from me and from one peer. The Speed Grader view gives me a "Select Rubric" menu, allowing me to toggle between my comments and the peer comments. But the Gradebook's "Bulk Download Rubrics" command generates a CSV file with only the peers'…
Hi all, I'm looking to see if this has happened for anyone else. A student completed a Classic Quiz and one question was counted wrong that should not have been. In the quiz settings, the instructor entered 9 possible answers for this question. The student entered one of these answers. However, that particular question was…
Looking for the addition of partial credit for alternative format questions in Canvas, like ordering and category/matrix. We can only do it in close drop down, matching, and multiple response.
Has anyone found gaps in their course analytics ? I'm currently seeing missing last view date, last participation date, and participations at overall course level, even though the same data is present at individual week and student level. Am also seeing truncated asset counts ie we are seeing only the global header counts,…
