Can anyone confirm if it is possible to like the original announcement? Or a way this might be achieved
It seems it is only possible to like replies to the original announcement

We investigated the possibility of asking students to "like" a course announcement as a way to confirm they had read it, but it does not work that way. Not to mention, liking just shows as a number of likes, and there's no list anywhere that shows who did the liking, as far as I can tell.

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…
