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 Discussion boards (along with all other assignments & quizzes) are automatically unpublished until you choose to publish them.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!

I need to be able to batch edit assignment due dates by section, but right now Canvas can't filter by section for batch edit. My only option is now to manually (tediously) edit due dates for each assignment individually.
Morning! One of the more frustrating aspects of Canvas are groups and the issues that show up when copying courses that have them. But now we have yet another issue. Most recently we have had instances where people mark an assignment/discussion as a group assignment but then do not link the discussion or assignment to any…
So, we have encountered a few assignments where the Speedgrader presents the teacher with the "Empty Course" page, even though the course is not empty. I have discovered two New Quizzes in the same course where this has occurred, despite multiple students being assigned (at Module level, which passes the permission down to…
A teacher has expressed concerns with the recent update. Exact concern is as follows: "My Canvas has been acting glitchy since the last "update." For instance, when I grade essays the highlight and cursor tools do not always work. I have to try highlighting several times,or come back later to finish. It's told me I "ran…
