Delayed posting

As an instructor, there are times where I need to work in my Canvas course late at night.  Specifically, with discussion boards (and generally, anywhere), has Canvas considered the possibility of allowing replies to student posts be scheduled for a later time so that my discussion replies do not send any alerts to student subscribers at an inappropriate hour of the night?  I know I can delay the posting of announcements.  Having the same ability to schedule discussion replies would be great!

Hi @ajohns33 what a great question, and good on you for being such a dedicated teacher, as well as considering the notification possibility when posting late at night. 

As far as I know the possibility of delaying the post is not possible.

However, it's a pretty cool idea. Perhaps you could submit a feature idea. Here's the process:

Sing out if you need a hand.
