Discussion Posts Issue

[lmulville]

How do I get new discussion posts to post to top of the discussion stream.  Do not like to have to scroll down through all posts to read new posts.

Hi  @lmulville ​,

I am also interested in learning how we can do this.  This is my first semester teaching in Canvas and I have not found a way to change.  I have about 70 students and even with a new discussion board for each week they often get long.  If this is not a possible I would propose it as an idea.  I would up vote it!

Canvas does not offer quite the functionality you are looking for, but you can see all of the unread posts by clicking on the unread button:

Once you have the list of all of the unread posts, you can view each discussion post in context by clicking on the view in discussion link on each post:

I hope that helps, Leeann!

Thanks for feedback, however I really feel this is a needed change. Even unread should have latest posted on top or give a choice

The idea for this has been suggested here - - and was already voted on and responded to by Instructure. I recommend reviewing the information on this idea and adding your own feedback there.
