Re: New Thought Leadership Notifications
Dr. Rajesh Talpade, Senior Vice President Product, and I published a blog post titled Towards a More Equitable Learning Management System Experience with Large Language Models. This post explores common challenges faced by instructors and learners with disabilities online and how we can leverage the capabilities offered by LLM-based technologies to make online teaching and learning experiences more accessible for them.
We welcome your thoughts and feedback!

Christian Pantel and I wrote a blog called Putting Users First: D2L's User-Centered Design Elevates Teaching and Learning. In this post, we discuss how we gather user feedback, conduct usability testing, and ensure that our designs are inclusive and accessible. We would love to hear your thoughts and feedback!
Deleted Content Suddenly Reappearing?!
Hi all,
As of a few days ago, we've discovered that basically all of our class instances are appearing to have what we've dubbed 'zombie links' in the Content tab. More specifically, the Content tab has become populated with links to quizzes that were eventually deleted and then replaced with an updated version. The new link to the new quiz is still there as well, and works fine. The zombie link directs to an error page. The attached photo shows a lesson with the correct quiz at the bottom and two zombie links suddenly appearing at the top of the lesson. It seems like some kind of 'restore' setting got changed at the organization level which is something we Super Admins don't think we can do, or at least don't know how to do. Has anyone else encountered this? D2L Helpdesk has been no help so far and we are really hoping we don't have to go in and manually delete all of these zombie links from every course!! Help!!
Re: Deleted Content Suddenly Reappearing?!
definitely already opened a support case - no solutions yet so hoping someone in the community might know something.
Re: Product Idea Exchange (PIE)
I would like to be able to preview grade statistics (with the assessment hidden) as grading progresses (not only at the end). To see Grade Statistics, I understand that I must Publish the grades, but there is no way to "Retract All" unless all students have been given feedback.
Why do my edits to a survey not show up for learners?
I have updated a pre existing survey in one of my courses but when a learner views the survey, the changes have not been applied. Why is this?

Re: Using question pools
Thanks for reaching us through the Brightspace Community.
When editing/creating a new quiz, go to 'Create New' and click 'Question Pool'.
Next, you will be able to filter question types that will populate your pool:
After selecting the desired questions, click 'Import'.
Next, you will be prompted to name your newly-created Question Pool and choose the number of questions your students will have to answer out of that particular pool.
Finally, click 'Save'.
I hope this is useful.
Re: Older YouTube Tutorial Videos
Hi @Kevin.H.200,
May it have been the content from the Brightspace Quick Start Webinar Series, found in our old (soon to-be-retired) community?
If that does contain the content you're looking for, note that this content is older and there are no plans to update / migrate it to our new community — get it while you can!
I hope that's what you were searching for.

Hi @Jane.M.801
We agree- the experience with all of the documentation will be improved when we're able to release search into our knowledge bases. We're looking at a few different solutions to try to ensure we pick the one that offers the best search experience. Would you be willing to help us do a little testing as we get closer to that point?
Re: Community Feedback🗨️
I'm sure someone else has commented on this previously, but it's extremely frustrating that I, as a Super Admin, cannot SEARCH on the
page.
I have to keep scrolling up and down, expanding areas, guessing what your categories might contain. And, my guesses are usually wrong, so I get nowhere.
I need a search for all Admin documentation, please!
