What Happens when I report a comment? 

  • The comment receives a red exclamation point. 
  • The comment is auto-removed from student view
  • In Canvas, if there is API access, a message is auto-sent to the teacher. (there has to be someone with the role of Course Coordinator in Canvas)
  • If the comment is not profane you have the ability (click the 3-dot menu) and mark as "not profane"
