[Discussions] Filter discussion comments by read or unread

0 Likes

Would be great to quickly be able to view comments that you haven't already seen as opposed to having to scroll through and look for the little blue dot.

Hi!

Are you using classic or the redesign for discussions? In either case, you can sort by "unread" and "all". Are you looking to separate the "read" ones?

How do I view Discussions as a student? 

How do I view and sort discussion replies in Discussions Redesign as a student?

Hi @jlopiccolo -

It's been a couple of weeks since you posted your idea in the Community. I hope you are doing well! If you are unable to provide an update regarding this idea by July 19, we will need to archive it to help the Community Team focus on current Ideas. If you need more time, that's okay too! Providing an update before that time would be helpful and appreciated.

"you can sort by "unread" and "all". "

How? I called support and they said that they do not support this functionality and I do not see it anywhere. I don't see any option to choose classic or redesign for discussions either.

In our documentation, it is marked as filter conversations, but it is possible. I created URLs that will jump to the section in each resource.

This will leave only those items visible, so it won't organize them with the unread at the top followed by those that you've read. If you'd like that (sort vs. filter), your proposed idea can open. 🙂

HI @jlopiccolo -

We know life can get busy, yet if we don't hear from you by August 2, we will archive this thread so we can better focus on current requests as we prepare for our time of year. Thanks!

This feature is absolutely not here, I checked your links. It does not apply to my faculty interface. I do not see anywhere the drop down menus and canvas phone support confirmed this functionality is not there.

Hi @jlopiccolo -

Thank you for the follow-up. The drop-down is in the overall Discussions menu, not in an individual thread. I appreciate the time you spent clarifying your need. Your idea is now Open.
