Hi Ingrid,

Enhancement idea's for Canvas should be posted in the Ideas‌ section in the portal. Here others can comment and vote on the idea. Here is some documentation‌ about how to submit a new idea‌ (https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-14904-75187841184 )

This is a good idea,  @schulzi  , but you have posted it to the Q&A forum. I would suggest submitting it as a feature idea. Learn more at How does the feature idea process work in the Canvas Community?‌

As a feature Idea, I think I could only support this if it was an option I could toggle off.  I do not add grading comments to discussions for several reasons...........

• Because discussions are viewable to all students and there are privacy concerns in sharing grading comments,
• My comments are intended to promote the conversation by the student and the rest of the class,
• My comments tend to promote additional learning by both the target student and the rest of the class,
• My replies tend to be formative rather than summative or even supporting of a summative assessment.

Many more thought as to why I would not use this feature, but my thoughts do not mean it is a bad idea by any means.

Kelley.
