Good evening, @fornotarybiz 
Welcome to the Canvas Community. Thank you for posting your question. Based on your question, I am going to assume that you are a student. Ultimately, you may have to ask your instructor exactly what the requirements are for posting your assignment to a discussion topic (because we here in the Community don't have access to your course or your school's Canvas environment). But, generally speaking, I can provide you with a link to a video tutorial on how Discussion topics work for students: . Then, if you want to dive a bit deeper into the specifics of discussion topics, there are several written Guides that you can look through as well.
I hope these resources will be of help to you, Cnynthia. Please let Community members know if you have any questions about this information...thanks!
