How do I reply to an announcement as an instructor?
If you have a question or comment about an announcement, you can reply directly to the announcement. You can also reply to comments/replies by other users.
You can reply in both course and group announcements. This lesson shows how to reply in a course, but the steps are the same.
Note: Not all announcements may allow replies. Additionally, announcement replies may be disabled in Course Settings or at the account level.
