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.

The read icon indicates the reply has been read [1]. The unread icon indicates a reply is new or unread [2].

Mark Post as Read

To change an unread post to read, click the unread icon next to the post you wish to change.

Note: If a post's state is manually changed, the post will not change states (become read or unread) unless you manually change it again.
