Reporting Content
Learn how to report offensive or suspicious content.
Instructors and students can report content that they believe should not shared in the LMS. When something is reported, it is hidden and a notification is sent to admin users prompting them to review the item and decide if it should be permanently removed. Content reporting is available for messages, discussion posts and replies, and feedback.

You can not report your own content unless you feel your account has been breached.
