Discussion Threads or Pages
There is currently not a way to save and print discussion threads or Pages through the Canvas interface. We recommend copying and pasting the discussion thread into Word or another word processing software and saving it to your device.
Some have found it useful to use web clipper tools, such as Evernote, as an alternative solution.
