Update: New Anonymity Features in Discussions Redesign

[AllisonPittler]

Hi everyone! If you haven't had the Discussions Redesign enabled recently, you may be missing out on new features – and we'd love your feedback! In addition to the previous release of fully anonymous Discussions, we are thrilled to announce that you will soon be able to create a Discussion where anonymity is optional. With partial anonymity selected, students can either show their names and profile pictures or remain anonymous in their replies.

This exciting addition to anonymous Discussions will be available on February 16, but be sure to check out fully anonymous Discussions in the meantime. 

Thanks to all again for your feedback!

Hi,

I can't see these changed documented here: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Discussions-Announcements/Discussions-Announcements-Redesign-Rele...

Willl they be added before the update?

I love the option for anonymity in discussions, but it is quite useless if it is not supported in the student app. More than 50% of our students access the discussions with the mobile.
