    Hi @Michelle Laarissa,

     

    Thank you for reaching out. You can allow instructors to restore deleted discussion posts.

     

    You would need to turn on this config variable: d2l.Tools.Discuss.User.ShowDeletedMessages

     

    Then you would need to enable the See Deleted Posts under the Discussions tool in Roles and Permissions for the instructor role at the course offering level.

     

    Regards,

    Courtney

    Thank you for this, @Courtney Johnson​ ! I see the setting... and will propose changing the default settings for our institution!
