How do I like a reply in a course announcement as a student?

If you can make a reply in an announcement, you may be able to like announcement replies in your course.

If the steps in this lesson do not match what is displayed in your course, learn how to like a reply to an announcement in the Announcements Redesign interface.

Note: The liking feature may be restricted to users with grading permissions (e.g. instructors and TAs). If you cannot like an announcement reply, this feature is not available to you.
