Re: Community Feedback🗨️
Hello Community gang!
Will you please look into freezing the top navbar of the Community Site?
Way down here on the bottom of this page, for example, I have to scroll miles and miles to get back to that to navigate to another notification or page from the navbar menu.
Thanks!

Re: Displaying a Text Grade to Students
@Richard.W.228 Hi Rich, it looks like you may have to do the opposite since there are fewer display options on the text items and the letter grades are being treated like scheme symbols since they appear in the Grade column. I guess that makes sense since the text wouldn't be in the Points or Weight Achieved columns. Enabling Grade Scheme Symbol in the overall gradebook settings and then disabling it individually on all the other non-text grade items might be your only option here.

How do I make the display fit a now-standard widescreen monitor?
The Brightspace screen only covers about the center 60% of my laptop screen or monitor, leaving blank swaths on the right and left as if it were created for a squarish screen from the 1990s. I have not yet found the right setting to change that to fit today's screens, which are all wider than they are tall. This is a problem because I can't get enough information on the screen at once to do things easily. Lots of excess scrolling is necessary. Can anyone point me to how to make the Brightspace display fit the rectangular, landscape screen that has become standard? Thanks!

Re: Bring Back Crtl+F Browser Search
Hi @christopher.houghton@stonybrook.edu
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I understand how impactful this change is, especially when working with a large number of grade items.
The behaviour you’re experiencing is related to the recent updates to the Grades tool (released February 2026), which introduced a new table structure and navigation experience. As part of this update, the page now uses a different rendering approach, which can affect how browser-based tools like Ctrl+F interact with the content.
At this time, this is expected with the updated experience and is not something that can be reverted. The change was introduced to support improvements such as:
- Addressing long-standing issues within the Grades tool
- Improving accessibility and navigation
- Aligning the Grades experience with other areas of Brightspace
You can read more about these updates here: February 2026/20.26.02 - Brightspace
I understand your concern around efficiency, especially when managing a high volume of grade items, and your feedback about navigation and search is valid. While Ctrl+F may not behave as it did previously, a few options that may help in the meantime include:
- Using the left/right navigation arrows within the Gradebook
- Using Shift + scroll (or a two-finger horizontal swipe on a trackpad) to move across columns more quickly
I’ve also shared your feedback with your account team for visibility.
Thank you again for raising this,
Carolina A.

Bulk edit in NCE?
Hello,
In the old Content, there was an option to bulk edit dates and restrictions of content; however, I don't see that option in the NCE. Is there a way to edit dates without tediously clicking on each content item?
Thanks,

Is there a "Delete All Modules" for the New Content Experience?
In the classic content experience, it was possible to delete all content in a course by going to the Table of Contents, clicking the disclosure triangle, and selecting "Delete All Modules".
Through searching, I could not find a way to perform the same action in the New Content Experience. The best I could find is going to each individual module, clicking the "…" button, and selecting "Delete".
Does anyone know of a way to "Delete All" when in the New Content Experience?

Where can I go to request functionalities for quiz questions?
Specifically the "arithmetic" quiz question type just does not have enough of a robust feature set. There seem to be a great many features that were either left out intentionally or were not thought of. I'd like to know where I can go to both complain about the lack of features and also make requests for them to be added.

Re: Gradebook horizontal scroll bar
I agree that the arrows are NOT an improvement. The horizontal scroll bar being available at any point is much better.
