All Tasks have Discussions enabled by default. Task Discussions can be a place to clarify details, ask for perspective, and share ongoing updates related to the Task.
👉 All members of the module (creators, advisors, and learners) can view and comment on Task Discussions. This is different from assessment feedback, which is private between the learner and the advisor.

FAQ
Is there a way to disable Task Discussions by default?
No. Today, the default is any new Task will be created with the Discussion enabled. Talk to us if you think it should be different.
Can you reply to a comment, like a threaded discussion?
No, but you can use the built-in @mention feature to get a list of module members, and reply specifically to them in your comment.
