Posting & Replying

The Chat tab inside any channel is where the conversation happens. You can post new topics, comment on existing posts, reply to specific comments, and mark a comment as the accepted answer.

Opening the Chat Tab

1. Go to Inbox → Discussions.
2. Click on a channel.
3. Select the Chat tab in the channel detail view.

Adding a New Post

Posts are the top-level entries in a channel — a question, announcement, or topic you want to open up for discussion.

1. In the Chat tab, click the post input field.
2. Type your message.
3. Click Post (or press Enter).

The post appears in the channel and all members are notified.

Commenting on a Post

Comments are responses to a post — students and teachers can all add comments.

1. Find the post you want to comment on.
2. Click Comment or the reply area below the post.
3. Type your comment.
4. Click Submit.

Your comment appears nested under the post.

Replying to a Comment

You can reply to a specific comment to create a nested thread:

1. Click Reply under the comment you want to respond to.
2. Type your reply.
3. Submit.

The reply is nested under that specific comment, keeping the conversation organized.

Marking an Answer

If a student posts a question and a comment answers it correctly, you can mark that comment as the accepted answer:

1. Find the comment that answers the question.
2. Click the Mark as Answer or checkmark icon.
3. The comment is highlighted as the accepted answer.

This helps other students quickly find the resolution without reading every reply.

Reacting to Posts and Comments

Click the reaction icon on any post or comment to add an emoji reaction — a quick way to acknowledge content without writing a reply.

Editing and Deleting Your Posts

• Edit: Click the edit icon on your own post or comment to update the text
• Delete: Click the delete icon to remove it

Note

As a teacher or admin, you can delete any post or comment in channels you manage — not just your own. Use this for moderation if a post is inappropriate or off-topic.

Tip

Use the Mark as Answer feature actively — it turns your channel into a searchable knowledge base for the class. Students can scan through questions and see which ones have been resolved at a glance.
