You can like announcement replies in your course. To view the Like icon on announcements, you must allow users to like replies in a course announcement.

If you forgot to add something to your announcement, you can easily edit and add more information.

Note: Editing an announcement will create a notification on the User Dashboard and Course Activity Stream. If you want users to receive the edited announcement via their notification preferences, you will need to create a new announcement.

You can view all replies in an announcement by scrolling or searching content. Announcement replies are hierarchal, collapsable, and expandable.

To manually stop students from posting replies to discussion posts, use the close for comments link. You can also pin discussions to the closed for comments section on the discussion index page.

Note: You can automatically set your post to close for comments on a specific date by creating discussion availability dates.
