I've run into the same issue… I guess I'll contact MS and see what they say.

Ultimately it depends on what your goals are for performing the actions.

Data Purge is a destructive process and items cannot be restored after they have been Purged.
Items in the recycling bin can be restored.
Data Purge is a good way to manage an instance's overall storage footprint. Before utilizing data purge you likely want to consult legal teams and policy makers at your organization to determine what your data retention policies are.

Has anyone completed the setup for the new Microsoft 365 LTI successfully? The instructions that they provide for setup on the Deploy the Microsoft 365 LTI® app in Brightspace by D2L page are the ones that I followed, BUT I noticed that when registering the new tool there wasn't a keyset URL provided before selecting the extensions (see screenshot of the setup instructions).

D2L requires that a Keyset URL be provided in order to select the Extensions, but when I reached out to Microsoft Support about this they were unable/unwilling (or just didn't understand what I was asking?) to provide a Keyset URL at this stage of the process. Microsoft Support directed me to use the "Brightspace Keyset URL" that you get when creating a deployment, but that results in an "Invalid JWT" error when trying to use the tool.

Has anyone had a different experience with this setup?

Hi @Jason.H.500

Thank you for reaching out to the Brightspace Community team.

As mentioned in the documentation, although there isn't a specific data set that exclusively provides the user's Preferred Name, the FirstName column will return the Preferred First Name if one is provided. If a Preferred Name is not set, the system will use the legal first name instead.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Hi. I manage several sections of a course, each of which has it's own Brightspace page, though the pages are identical. We have an assignment that is graded with a rubric where students can get up to 5.5 points (there are 0.5 points built in as extra credit). The assignment itself is set up as 5 points total. In the grade book, the item is set up as 5 points with the can exceed option enabled. The final calculated grade is also set up as "can exceed". The grades on the assignment were published for two sections. When I viewed the grade book for each section, I noticed that scores were out of 5- students earning 5.5 points did not get the extra points. I was able to successfully fix the settings for one section (by retracting the results and then doing something that I can't seem to replicate) but I am unable to fix the results for the other section. How can I resolve this?

Is there a way to include attendance grades into a gradebook and to also be included in the final grading?
