Hello,
I have recently been alerted to a potential bug with the Discussion Board Peer Reviews feature.
When the "must respond before viewing other replies" option is turned on, I found that some students are unable to access their Peer Reviews from the top of the Discussion topic page. They would receive an error message telling them that they must first reply to the topic, even if they had already done so.
It seems as if Canvas is only looking at the page of replies that the student is currently on when checking if they had already replied or not to the topic as a whole. In a topic with 10+ pages, this led to some students being locked out of accessing the links to submit Peer Reviews, despite having already posted a reply. If they navigate to the page of the Discussion where they have a reply, the Peer Review buttons work correctly.
Shouldn't students be able to access these Peer Review buttons after replying, no matter whether they are on the page with their reply or not?
Best regards,
Matt U.
