Is there a way to create a group of discussion questions for one class session and to set settings for the whole group - ex. liking, publish/unpublish, etc.? Instructor
Hello @MelissaFisher94 -
Each discussion board has its own settings and it's not possible to change them as an entire group.
One thing you might do is set up one discussion board with your preferred settings, and then duplicate that board. After you duplicate it, you can change the question/prompt and information in the rich content editor. Discussion boards (along with all other assignments & quizzes) are automatically unpublished until you choose to publish them.
You can also do a bulk update to due dates and availability dates.
Hope this helps!

Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
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…
