How do I like a reply in a course discussion as a student?

You may be able to like discussion replies in your course.

Note:

  • The liking feature may be restricted to users with grading permissions (e.g. instructors and TAs). If you cannot like a discussion reply, this feature is not available to you.
  • If your discussion looks different than what is displayed in this lesson, your instructor may be using Discussions Redesign in your course. Learn how to like a discussion reply in Discussions Redesign.
