I am teaching using Canvas for the first time.  I have added a number of announcements.  They all defaulted to locked for comment.  How do I open an announcement for comment?  When I click on the settings icon to the right of an announcement, I only see a delete option.

Hi  @lfreese ‌

The global control for locking announcements for replies is found within your courses settings, not in the Announcement edit. it is actually the last option on the Settings page, and the default is to permit comments on Announcements, so I suspect you inadvertently clicked the check-box when first setting up the course.  If you have disabled Comments in your course settings, you cannot enable it for individual announcements. However, if you have left comments enabled, then you can turn them off for selected announcements.

You can learn more at https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-9994-4152101246 

I hope this helps,

Kelley
