You can read and reply to discussion threads in the   Notifications tab. This increases awareness of unit activity and engagement in learning activities with other learners.
Unlike other notifications in Brightspace Pulse, discussion notifications do not appear in the device's notification area and do not invoke an alarm or vibration.
In Brightspace Learning Environment, you must first subscribe to a topic or discussion thread for a unit offering you are enrolled in. You cannot subscribe or unsubscribe to topics or threads in Brightspace Pulse.
When reading and replying to discussion posts:

• A link is provided for viewing the original post, with original formatting, in a web browser.
• Formatting is simplified for consistency - bold, italics, underline, strikethrough, subscript, superscript, and HTML lists are supported. However, font face, color, size, images, and other embedded objects are unsupported.
• Web links (URLs) can be followed.
• Unlike Brightspace Learning Environment, the learner can only reply to the original post, not a specific post in the discussion thread.
• There are no formatting options when replying.
