Re: how long are deleted files stored on the system for
Hi @Ceri.L.4472 ,
Thank you for reaching Brightspace Community!
There are course items that can be restored by admins or instructors if they have the permission to within Brightspace like for example assignment submission :
You can request to restore needed object types like assignment -overwrriten submissions, Content modules, quizzes,etc. within 30 days of being deleted any request received outside this timeframe may not be possible.
More details and guidance on the request can be found in this article.
Hope this helps!

Hi @Konrad.W.3312 ,
Thanks for reaching out to us through the Community!
To move content from one course to another, you can use the Import/Export/Copy Components tool. This feature allows you to easily copy course materials between courses.
You can find more information about how the tool works and the available functions in this guide:
Please let me know if this doesn’t resolve your query or if you'd like additional suggestions.
Thanks,

Re: Welcome to Creator +
Thank you for your detailed feedback @Jane.O.1385! It's encouraging to see that this course is getting attention and your comments help improve it for all users!
I have fixed most of the issues you identified. The "funky text" may need a little more investigation, as its a styling issue on mobile. The display issues on Vertical Tabs may not be fixable at this time, but I can pass the feedback along to our developers.
Feel free to send along any other comments!

Highlighting Text in Creator+
Hi! I know you can use HTML to "mark" text and have it be highlighted in a pale yellow, but can we get an option to use text highlighting? It would be great to be able to choose colors and have the contrast checker like there is when you change text color.
Thanks!
Different time zones
Hi… How can we solve the issues about different time zones? If we ask students to change it manually from their account settings, it works correctly just for Americas and Europe, not other continents. This might cause confusion, especially when it comes to the assignment/quiz due dates. Could you please provide a solution to this? Thanks
Re: Known Issues List Updates
A new version of the Known Issues List is now available. The most recently added known issues are flagged as *New*
and relate to the following Brightspace tool:
- LTI / External Learning Tools
Accessibility of self-assessment feedback for screen readers users
The feedback in the course's self assessment questions contain information that guides the learner to which lessons to review.
I am using NVDA; I used tab to navigate and spacebar to select the responses. Would it be best practice to have the feedback announced (or at least the presence of the feedback announced, with an instruction on how to perceive it)?
Re: Welcome to Creator +
Absolutely. I will update tomorrow.
Again, I was on my Android phone, so not sure if that impacted things. I've gone almost all the way through on my work laptop and everything was working. I can't imagine the backend of things with making sure everything is mobile accessible.
Higher Ed is getting back into full gear, so bear with me. And thank you for being open to feedback!
