Discussion Post

[Emily_Gomez]

Hello, 

Is it possible to reorder posts in a Canvas discussion? 

I have an ongoing discussion that has several posts, and it would be so helpful to see the most recent posts on top. I noticed Microsoft Teams just added this feature, and it would be great if Canvas also had this option. 

Any ideas on perhaps a work around? I have 220 some replies and scrolling to find the new ones can be a bit tedious.

Thanks!

Yes, @Emily_Gomez ! The pending redesign of discussions/announcements includes the following in its list of interface modifications:

Users can sort replies from newest to oldest, or oldest to newest

More information about the redesign (it will be enforced for all Canvas instances this July) can be found in the feature user group focused on the redesign:
