Revising or editing a discussion post

[SophiaLatini]

Can an instructor or other student revise, edit or delete a student's response to a discussion post?

Yes, an instructor can revise, edit, or delete a student's response to a discussion post. As an instructor, I will occasionally edit a student's response if the student has used wonky formatting or created a duplicate response.

No, another student cannot revise, edit, or delete a classmate's response to a discussion post.

If you're a student and concerned that your response has been changed in some way, I would recommend reaching out to your instructor.

I just tested this in Canvas as a teacher. I can revise my (the teacher's) posts and I can revise a student's posts.

I do not think a student could revise another student's posts.

Assuming you are a student, and you are worried someone edited your post:

Start taking and saving screen captures so you have proof. Complaining without proof will not help.

Ask your instructor if they edited your post.

Thank you for this reply.  Yes, it is clear my posts have been edited and I have been going crazy trying to figure out what happened to them.
