Include 'Add Comment' and "View Feedback" buttons to discussion view for students

Problem statement:

Students cannot access or view teacher marks and comments on Discussions when viewing the discussion from the Discussion view. They must go to Recent Feedback links or Marks to view feedback and add comments to their teacher. This is inconsistent with the Assignment view. Similar to how Assignment's work, it would help if students were to navigate to a discussion, if there was a button for them to "Add Comment" before replying to a discussion or a button for them to "View Feedback" to see their teacher's feedback without having to navigate away from the discussion thread.

Proposed solution:

Feature update request: Add an “Add Comment" button to the Discussion view for students before submitting, like it appears on the Assignment view. Add a “View Feedback” button to the Discussion view for students once marked, like it appears on the Assignment view. This would create greater consistency for students, so they have a similar experience when viewing both assignments and discussions.

Hello @tina_busch,

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with the Instructure Community. Because your proposal includes multiple requests, it is being moved to our Will Not Consider status. Having one idea per thread helps Community members engage in conversation and our Product Team identify potential themes. We appreciate your understanding! How do I create a new idea conversation in the Canvas Community?‌
