The Instructure Community will enter a read-only state on November 22, 2025 as we prepare to migrate to our new Community platform in early December. Read our blog post for more info about this change.
Hello,
Canvas does not send notifications for discussion post “resubmissions.” Notifications for discussions only apply to new posts and replies, and SpeedGrader does not generate a new submission notification if a student edits or adds to an existing reply.
In the past, some grading notifications were triggered by activity in discussions, but this behavior has changed. At present, there is no setting to turn those notifications back on for discussion resubmissions.
Workarounds:
Ask students to message you directly after they add the missing reply.
Manually subscribe to the discussion to receive updates on activity (though this will include all posts, not just resubmissions).
