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! I was wondering if there is a setting I can make so that I can reply to my students discussion without other students seeing it? I am wanting to explain my grading marks in a private way. Is this possible?
Hi,
you may use Inbox for private messages. See here for instructions: https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-12810-4152719677

Hi Jan Hoth,
Welcome to the Canvas Community! Since you say that you want to give explanation for how you graded the discussion, then using SpeedGrader will be the way to go and you can leave Assignment Comments that just the student will see.
Hope this information helps,
Cheers - Shar
