I installed edx Juniper with Tutor. With a new course, when I go to the “discussion” tab of the course, I don’t see the “How to use discussions” screen as suggested by [this documentation page](https://edx.readthedocs.io/projects/open-edx-learner-guide/en/open-release-juniper.master/sfd_discussions/anatomy.html#how-to-use-discussions).

As far as I can see I don’t have errors in the browser console or forum logs.

Is the documentation outdated, or do I need to add something to see that page?

Edit: here’s a screenshot of how it looks for me:

Hello @MaartenGH,

With a new course, when I go to the “discussion” tab of the course, I don’t see the “How to use discussions” screen as suggested by [this documentation page](https://edx.readthedocs.io/projects/open-edx-learner-guide/en/open-release-juniper.master/sfd_discussions/anatomy.html#how-to-use-discussions).

The reason behind this could be this feature flag `ENABLE_DISCUSSION_HOME_PANEL`. Check the value of this feature flag, if it is `False` then set it to `True` and restart your LMS service. You will be able to see the discussion home panel.

Thank you very much! That works like a charm.

For fellow tutor users, I made this “plugin”:

```auto
---
name: enable-discussion-dashboard
version: 0.1.0
patches:
  lms-env-features: |
    "ENABLE_DISCUSSION_HOME_PANEL": true

```

Save it to `~/.local/share/tutor/plugins/enable-discussion-dashboard.yml` and enable it with `tutor plugins enable enable-discussion-dashboard`.
