By default, an icon displays next to all unread discussion replies. As you scroll down the page, that icon will be removed from each reply.
You can tell Canvas not to automatically mark all your posts as read in your Discussion settings.
Note: If a reply's state is manually changed, the post will not change states unless you manually change it again.
