By default, you will automatically be subscribed to all discussions you create in your courses and receive notifications when replies are posted.
If TAs or students are allowed to create discussions in your course, you will not be automatically subscribed to those discussions. However, you can manually subscribe to discussions created by others in your course.
If you reply to a discussion, you will be automatically subscribed to that discussion and will receive discussion notifications unless manually unsubscribed.
Notes:
- You must specify your notification settings to receive updates for subscribed discussions.
- You cannot subscribe to discussions posted within student groups.
- If you import course content from another Canvas course, you must manually subscribe to imported discussions to receive notifications.
- You cannot subscribe to individual threads within a discussion.
