How do I mark discussion replies as read or unread as an instructor?
By default, as you read new discussion posts, the Astria LMS will mark them as read (changing the indicators from blue to white) as you scroll down the page. However, you can manually mark each post back to a read or unread state.
You can tell the Astria LMS not to automatically mark all your posts as read in your Discussion settings.
