Why do some announcement show a "Reply" and others don't? I would like to turn off "reply". It shows even when I deselect the "Allow Participants to Comment"
Hi @jeff_plant ...
I tested this out in my own sandbox course, and even though I did not select the "Allow Participants to Comment" checkbox, I could still see an option to "Reply" when viewing the announcement. However, when I used the "Test Student" account to view the announcement, I see a message that says, "This topic is closed for comments." So, students would not be able to add comments to that particular announcement. I hope this helps a bit.
Hey @jeff_plant ,

You can automatically disable all comments by navigating to your course settings and ticking off the Disable Comments on Announcements button. This is located at the bottom of the settings page.

Does anyone have suggestions for bulk aligning questions at the quiz level, not the item bank level? I don't know much about API keys, but would one of these work for a bulk alignment? We have a school that is preparing for accreditation next year and they must get their quiz questions aligned to outcomes. We know they…
The most recent quizzes and question banks (including renames) are not showing up as options in the Course Import Tool. As I was creating a new quiz in one course (Classic), I went to add the questions from the Question Bank, but what I needed wasn't there. I went back to the other course to make sure everything was…
In the wake of the recent Canvas security incident, many instructors are rethinking how they protect their course materials and ensure continuity for students if the LMS becomes unavailable. A common question we’re hearing is how to effectively back up courses “just in case,” especially with an eye toward re‑distributing…
