Re: Community Feedback🗨️
Hi @Janet.Osborne3295 !
Thanks! We LOVE getting kudos :D
We also love getting feedback like this. You're absolutely right, the two sections definitely have overlap. We've taken content into the New Community from a few different places (Documentation.brightspace.com and the Legacy community as well as a few other places). It looks like what's happened here is that one section was intended to be the "Here's how to create and/or import roles and permissions" and the other was intended as an introduction to the list of tool-based permissions (which would perhaps be better named slightly differently). They likely came from different areas in their former locations, and when brought together, need better integration.
My team will have a look at how we can improve (and correct the wonky alphabetization) on these topics.
Cheers,
Mary MacDonald
Re: Quiz restrictions
Steve,
In short, yep. The important language in the additional view setup is 'after submission'. Since that language pertains to each submission as an individual item, trying to set 5 minutes for each student isn't possible unless each student submitted at exactly the same time. The 'limited time' setting is really only useful per student immediately upon submission.

Re: Table of Contents Dropdown Option
@Kathy.Woodson2369 It looks like you may be on a description area for a folder rather than a Content item like an HTML document added using Create New. Only Content items can be set to Optional or Required.
Re: Definition of “Anonymous” differs
Hey @Mike.Barker4046,
Thanks for providing this valuable feedback to the team. I have connected this to our product experts for review. In the mean time please feel free to check out the upcoming updates coming with the New Discussion Creation Experience.
As part of the updates coming to the discussions tool in April, some wording changes have been made to better clarify the anonymous feature when creating discussion topics.
The Brightspace tools Discussions and Surveys are intended for different use cases, such that instructors for courses can better moderate the public facing Discussion threads initiated by a learner. I hope this information helps.
Definition of “Anonymous” differs
An instructor brought this to my attention the other day.
Has anyone noticed that the definition of "Anonymous" is different between “Discussion Topics” and “Surveys”. In fact, in the context of discussion posts, the term "Anonymous" seems a bit misleading.
As an Instructor, here’s what I see when I click on the ? to see a definition of “Anonymous” for a Discussion Topic:
Reading this, I am led to believe that no names will be visible for posts in this Topic. And when we try it out we see that, yes, this is true for Learners. This is what a post looks like:
But for the Instructor, they see this:
And when they click “Show Author”, oops, the student’s name appears:
So…why is this an issue? Well, a student may think they can post something negative or controversial to a Discussion Forum and not be identifiable, but this is not the case.
At the very least, this should be explained in the definition alert box. Students should also be informed that the Instructor will be able to see their names even if the other students can't.
In contrast, when you choose to make a Survey “Anonymous”, this is the definition you see:
And the results, when they are submitted, are truly anonymous:
