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.

We are testing a third party integration from our college's ERP provider. We have connected it to our test environment. It seems to have very few features and options. So, just wondering if there is a way to monitor API calls. I was able to use the DAPClient in Python to download canvas_logs in our production environment.…
To the Canvas Product Team, I am writing to request a new global or course-level setting for the Rich Content Editor (RCE). Currently, when images are uploaded or embedded, Canvas defaults to displaying the full image. For many lab-based and data-heavy courses—such as my current molecular biology lab course—we often need…
Our Spanish department uses New Quizzes/Essay question type for students to record themselves talking using the record media function in the RCE. They did this all last year. However, now when the students log in to take the quize, the upload/record media icon isn't available to them. Is this a new issues? Anyone have any…
I am trying to use Learning Outcomes for my course which has many sections each term. We currently have no institutional, school or program outcomes. I created a set of outcomes for Section 1 of my course. I then labelled every question in the item banks I was using in my first quiz (New Quiz) of the semester. I got a nice…
