How do I start an initial post on canvas?

[Chris_Hofer]

Hi there, @MillChemAl ...

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking.  Could you please help to clarify?  Are you a student?  Are you an instructor?  If you are asking about Discussions within Canvas courses, you might want to start with one of these two video tutorials:

• Discussions Overview (Students)
• Discussions Overview (Instructors)

Then, if you want to take a deeper dive into other parts of the Discussions area within Canvas courses, you can check out several different written tutorials:

• Student Guide - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)
• Instructor Guide - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)

Hopefully these resources will help to answer your question.  If not, please come back to this topic with more details so that Community members can help you.  Thanks!
