Assignment Text Annotations not saving
We are seeing an issue where we try to edit text annotations with typos and the the edit is not saving. After the change has been made, it seems to revert to the original version with a typo. According to a Brightspace Community post, I saw that this was fixed in July 2024, but this is still happening.
Re: Does anybody on here have first hand knowledge of importing a gradebook file into our grade book?
@Angela.A.3462 I'm glad it helped you out! The 4.0 GPA scale mentioned in that video is specific to Michigan State University, so you can safely ignore that. Your school may have another scale that is required for final grades. When you export the grade book from each of your classes, all of the students' usernames will automatically be in the file, so you can upload grades for the entire class at once for as many grade items as you would like.
Re: Is it possible to set the active navbar through an API call?
One can use the course copy APIs to manage course copy jobs that copy navbar components; however, there are no APIs at this time to manage navbars directly.
Re: Export of groups into excel or csv
@Sue.S.4 Export from the grade book and check the box for Group Membership.
Re: Brightspace username cannot have a ' in - has anyone got around this when creating accounts via API?
One potential workaround is to create a unique mapping between the email addresses and usernames by stripping out special characters like apostrophes before creating the user. This can be handled through a pre-processing step in your API or CSV operations, ensuring that usernames remain compatible with D2L’s restrictions while emails remain intact for communication purposes.
As for future updates to allow apostrophes, you would need to check directly with D2L support or their development roadmap.
Re: D2L API for News > SortOrder Attribute > Issue?
Thanks @Johnny.B.962!
Just wanted to say that I really appreciate your time and patience walking me through this API functionality! Even though it wasn't the "answer" I was hoping for, that's certainly not your fault. That's just how the API works for now. Hopefully my suggestion in PIE about incorporating Pinned timestamp logic into SortOrder will be considered for the future as well. :)

Is it possible to set the active navbar through an API call?
We're moving towards a standard navbar for all courses after years of not enforcing one. We have maybe 40% of courses using a custom navbar and will be removing the permission to update navbars soon. I'd like to be able to make an API call to set the Active Navbar for all OUs this semester, but I haven't seen anything in the documentation that suggests that it is possible. Hoping someone has some ideas.
Thanks,
Andy
Re: homepage
Hi Yildiz - He's set it as his default in Manage Homepages.
He should be able to update it from the org homepage.
Then, you might want to restrict his "manage homepage" permission to the Course Offering level:
