Re: Can I create an announcement using replace strings?
That's a fun idea, @Monica.H.356! There isn't a way to include an "announcement signature" but you could "pin" a short announcement at the top of your list of announcements with your contact info (see below) or you can use the "copy" function each time you make a new announcement so that your signature could be preserved at the bottom and you would have to change the main content.
Course Files API - Delete file
When I use the Course Files API to view a file, it works as expected. For example, GET d2l/api/lp/1.44/xxxx/managefiles/file?path=/path/to/file.txt (org id and file name omitted) works completely fine and as expected.
Based on the documentation, it would appear that the only thing that should change is instead of using the GET verb, it should instead use DELETE. However, when trying to do this, it returns a 403 Forbidden error, despite using an administrator account and ensuring that the Role Permissions allowed for file creation and deletion.
Is there something I'm missing? I note that the documentation references JSON Parameters: DeleteFile -Delete file properties, although it doesn't actually provide any reference as to what this body should contain.
Thanks in advance!

How can I get the overall feedback that I give on a quiz to show in the stuent's grade report?
This is so frustrating. I would like the students to be able to see what I write as feedback for a quiz in the same place that they look for all the other feedback, which is their grade report. I simply cannot figure out how to do this. Is this possible? If not, I hope that they are working on it. What good is a quiz if students can't learn from them.
