Issue Documented: 2025-09-24
Canvas

Engineers are currently investigating the issue.

Description

When Graded Checkpoints are enabled for a Group Discussion, the “Previous” and “Next” navigation options specific to switching between replies for Graded Checkpoints are not available in speedgrader.

Expected Behavior

As Group Discussions now support Graded Checkpoints, the options for switching between a users replies should be present in SpeedGrader for Group Discussions that utilise the feature option.

Workaround

No workaround exists at this time.

Steps to Reproduce

Prerequisites: a course containing a Group Discussion with Graded Checkpoints with student submissions

  1. Open SpeedGrader for the Group Discussion

  2. Click “switch to viewing the full group discussion context.”

  3. Notice the “Previous” and “Next” buttons are missing
