How do I close a discussion for comments in a group?

Students can close discussions for comments if they meet the following conditions: 

• They are the creator of the discussion. 
• There are no replies to the discussion. 

Note: Once a discussion is closed for comments, only instructors can re-open it. 

Open Discussions 

In Group Navigation, click the Discussions link. 

View Discussions 

The group discussions index page is very similar to the course discussions index page. It will display an icon overview of each discussion and whether the user is subscribed. Green discussion icons indicate a subscription to the discussion. 

Close for Comments 

Locate the Options icon [1] and select the Close for comments link [2]. 

View Discussion 

Verify the discussion is closed for comments by locating the This topic is currently locked indicator.
