When Student Replies Appear in Discussion Threads

Summary This article explains when and how other students’ replies to a discussion post become visible in the discussion view.

What you will see

• You can see a student’s original discussion post immediately.
• Other students’ replies become visible on the discussion screen once those replies have been posted.

How to confirm replies are available

1. Open the discussion assignment.
2. View the original post(s) in the discussion thread.
3. If other students have replied to a post, their replies will appear on the screen beneath the original post.

Troubleshooting tip

• If you only see original posts and no replies, verify whether any students have actually posted replies yet. If no replies exist, there will be nothing additional to display.

Conclusion Replies from other students are displayed in the discussion thread on-screen as soon as those replies are posted. If you do not see replies, confirm that responses have been submitted.
