Subject: Editing (Changing) a Response
Both you and your students have the ability to change or Edit discussion responses. Students can only edit their own responses, however. Generally you would use the Edit Document capability to correct typographical errors in your own responses. It isn't a good idea to make substantive changes to a response once it is posted since other students may have read and responded to the original content already and would not see those changes. If you have a significant change or correction to a response, post a new document and note the change in the subject. You might Edit the original document to add the comment "see updated Response below."
To correct typographical errors, however, use the Edit Document feature
1. Open the document you want to edit using the Edit Document link in the top left corner:
2. You will see the same screen as you saw when you originally made the posting. You can make the necessary changes and then submit the edited response. You may choose to submit using either the Submit Your Response button at the bottom of the document
