Create a group thread in an existing topic

Instructors can associate existing discussion topics to a new group during the group creation process. In addition, instructors can associate existing discussion topics to groups not associated with any other discussion topic. Note that users can only associate existing discussion topics that have no existing discussion posts.

1. Navigate to Groups.
2. Click New Category.
3. From the Additional Options drop-down menu, select Set up discussion areas.
4. Select one of the following:
   • Create a new topic, for creating a new topic to restrict with this group category.
   • Attach to existing topic, for creating a group-restricted thread in an existing topic. This is only available for empty topics without previous group restrictions or posts.
5. Click Save.
