In one of the courses a faculty has an alternative assignment for students who can't purchase the mindtap, which is a paper. Does Canvas have a way to take only one of the two grades?

I usually ask students to submit two discussion posts, one of them is a response to a classmate. When a response is added, Canvas does not notify me. It does not show under Needs Grading on the Homepage. Why not?

New replies wouldn't be technically considered a new submission. Canvas is doing work on discussions and part of that is to allow for different due dates for the initial post and subsequent posts. That would count as different submissions.
A workaround for now:
Maybe you can ask your students when they want to reply to a message to post it as a new message (not using the reply to the message) but ask them to include who they are replying to (include the name of the person who she/he is replying to). You will then see them under needs grading as they are considered as new messages.

Is there any way to change this? I like to resend the announcements weekly and when updates are made.
Unfortunately, it is not possible. However, a viable workaround exists.
When you need to resend an announcement – whether due to edits, modifications, or simply resending it – you can achieve this by postponing the posting process. For instance, by introducing a brief delay of 1 minute before finalizing the posting, the announcement will be resent as intended.
