When you subscribe to a discussion, the discussion is available in the [message center](https://support.smarteru.com//v1/docs/message-center) and you will be notified when there are new discussion comments.

Discussions must be [enabled for the account](/v1/docs/account-settings#enable-discussions) and for the course or session.
