How do I edit or delete a discussion in a course?
Once you've created a discussion in your course, you can edit the discussion details. You can update the discussion title and content, and you can modify the discussion options.
You can also delete a discussion or graded discussion at any time.
Note: When Multiple Grading Periods are enabled in a course, graded discussions are not currently validated against closed grading periods. Deleting a graded discussion may affect the total grade for students in your course.
