Re: Issues with Cursor within D2L
Please fix this issue. Many of us spend a lot of time and effort posting comments and feedback in our students' work. This is a TREMENDOUS frustration and waste of time to be dealing with this bug. It was reported many months ago. Shame on Brightspace for not addressing this!

Re: Displaying Final Grades
Hi @Neil.C.631
To make your final grades automatically update, take the following steps:
- Go to your grade book display setting (gear icon in the top right corner of your screen)
- Then go to the 'Calculation Options' tab
- Then select 'Automatically release final grade'
- Finally, click 'Save'
I hope this helps.
Re: D2L Course Page freezing
Hello, Kira, how are you?
I suspect that this is being caused by one of the widgets in the homepage of the course offering. I understand that this course offering is a sandbox, correct?
May I temporarily remove some of the widgets in that sandbox course offering, to determine if this is indeed the cause of the issue?
Thank you kindly,
Piero de Sá

This has actually not been an issue since the original post. If I notice it happening again, I will let you know.
Thanks!

Re: Template path in NCE
Hello @Bjorn.L.964 ,
Yes, that’s correct! You can configure d2l.Tools.Content.TemplatePath to point to a location within the OrgUnit file store. Once you've copied the template path, you can search for d2l.Tools.Content.TemplatePath in the config variable browser. From there, you can set it for individual Org Units to pull templates from the specified location.
