When when when will there be a feature to export discussions? I see requests for the feature (literally DOZENS chiming in) from 2015 onward. Is this anywhere on the horizon?? PLEASE?
Thank you for reaching out and for sharing your interest in an export discussions feature. I completely understand how valuable this would be, and I know many users have been requesting it for quite some time. At the moment, this functionality isn’t available, and I don’t have a timeline to share regarding when or if it will be released.
In the meantime, if you’d like, I can suggest some current workarounds that other institutions have been using to archive or share discussions, such as:
Copy & Paste into Documents – The simplest approach: highlight discussion content in Canvas and paste it into Word, Google Docs, or PDF for recordkeeping.
Print to PDF – Use the browser’s Print → Save as PDF option to capture a discussion thread in a readable, shareable format.
Thank you again for your patience and for being an advocate for this feature.
Hi there! According to the Canvas Product Roadmap, there are quite a few updates coming to Discussions involving AI, but I do not see anything coming up about exporting discussions in a report.
Have you tried using the inline view in discussions?
Here is a link to the guide on viewing options in Discussions. If viewing all replies on one page or having them viewable to print is what you are looking for, this might be helpful!
@CMcKayW1 you've received two very helpful responses already - I know they're not the answer you hoped for, but nice to know you have some options.
[Discussions] Export Discussions is a feature suggestion that has appeared in our Community before. We currently do not have voting turned on for ideas as we pilot a new roadmap and ideation solution (you can find the most recent project update here) I wanted to share this idea with you so that you know it is in the pool of feedback collected and reviewed for prioritzation by our Product team.
I have tried your Print to PDF suggestion on multiple browsers for Mac (Chrome, Firefox and Safari) and they all fail after a few responses.
After I configure the Redirect Tool to create a menu item to link to a specific module, when I click on the newly-created menu item a page pops up that only says "REDIRECT." If I click on that, it takes me to the correct Module…but how do I force it to go DIRECTLY to the module instead of the page that says "REDIRECT."
There seems to be a change in my current rubric that it no longer shows different colours when marked via Speedgrader ie Red for Below Standard, Yellow for At Standard and Green for Above Standard. No it only shows Green across all Ratings. Is this able to be fixed?
We have a campus reporting that notes/comments entered directly in PowerTeacher Pro are being removed after a Canvas-to-PowerSchool grade sync runs. Based on the Instructure FAQ, we understand that only the following fields are transmitted during a sync: Assignment Description Assignment Group Association/Category…
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…
