How do I reply to a discussion using Discussions Redesign in the Student app on my Android device?
You can reply to a discussion within the Canvas Student app.
The images in this lesson are shown for a phone display, but unless otherwise noted, tablet displays mirror the same steps.
Notes:
- The process of responding to an inline discussion or a threaded discussion is the same, although the layout of the discussion may look different depending on the depth of the discussion thread.
- This lesson shows how to view discussion thread replies using Discussions Redesign. If your discussions don't look the same as what's shown in this lesson, please view how to view replies in the classic Discussions interface.
