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.
