Distance Education : Blackboard Information : Discussion Board Features : Invert Button

Invert Button

The button simply switches the selected and unselected boxes.  That means that if a box next to a message had a checkmark in it, when you click on the button, that same box will not have a checkmark in it.  The ones that did not have a checkmark in them before you clicked the button will now have a checkmark in them.   

To invert all messages, follow these steps:

1. Make sure that your message options are shown.  If they are not, see the Show Options page for instructions on turning the options on.
2. Click on the button.  

The checkmark should be switched between all messages.

• Click here to see where the checkmarks are located before you click the Invert button.
• Click here to see where the checkmarks are located after you click the Invert button.

You must have the message options shown to be able to use this button.  See the Show Options page for instructions on turning on the message options.
