Delete all Discussion replies

[jkeyser1]

I copied my Summer 22 course to my new Summer 23 course. For some reason all the replies from the previous course came along with the discussions. I want to delete all of those past replies OR copy all of the discussions without the past replies from the old to the new.

@jkeyser1 ...

That seems very strange that replies from discussion topics copied over into your new course.  Normally, only the discussion topics themselves would copy over...not any of the replies from students in the past course...mainly because students in the past course aren't normally in the new course...and you'd want to start off with fresh conversations anyway.  Can you try and clear your browser cache, close your browser, and then re-start your browser to see if the replies are still showing up in your Summer 23 course?

• How do I clear my browser cache on a Mac?
• How do I clear my browser cache on a PC?

If that doesn't help, I think you might need to reach out to Canvas Support to see if they have any other thoughts/insights for you.

How do I get help with Canvas as an instructor?

Please keep us posted...thanks!
