[ARCHIVED] Unable to edit/proof Discussion Board entries

Why can't I edit/proof students' entries on Db just like I would in an assignment that they turn in?  My expectations for Db entries are high and it would be helpful for me to show them what they are doing wrong- or right!

thanks

Hi  @perduet  Welcome to the Canvas Community. I cannot answer the "why" part, though you are correct...this cannot be done currently in Canvas.  If I had to guess, it may have something to do with the current inability of the DocViewer to be used for text entry-type of assignments (mentioned here), as well, which uses the same rich content editor that the Discussions do.

I encourage you to vote up and comment on this Feature Idea: https://community.canvaslms.com/ideas/7512-grade-discussion-posts-and-attachments-with-crocodoc , which appears to be in line with what you would like.

Not the answer you are looking for, I imagine, but I hope it helps a bit, Tamara.
