Group project announcements and notifications

TINHO13

Thanks in advance to reading my question.

We created several groups for our students to collaborate.
Now if you go to the home page of the group project, you'll see that it's possible to make announcements.
Is it possible to:

1. Disable that option (for everyone or for the students)?
2. Disable the notifications of that group project announcements?

Thanks for the help.

Kind regards

Hi @TINHO13,

I don't believe there is any way to disable Announcements in group spaces.  As far as I know that's just base built-in functionality of how collaborative groups are designed to function in Canvas.

Notifications for group announcements would be the same setting for each user as a course announcements, so while that could technically be shut off you'd also be disabling course announcement notifications which you likely do not want to do.

I hope this info helps, even if it's not what you were hoping to hear.
