Quick Links need to be entered twice
In assignments, when I highlight a word or phrase to quick-link, it asks me to type in the word or phrase in a pop-up window. Why do I need to manually type in something I just highlighted? This word processing 101 and should be expected on any platform in the year 2025. Again — so many extra clicks for something that the Google suite can do in one to two seconds.
Re: If you unenroll a learner form a course, where do their assignments go? Are they deleted?
I found another way without enrolling the learner (I don't want them to get an enrollment email) by going to the Classlist>Enrollment Statistics>Withdrawals.
Re: Peer assessment tool
The information shared by @Shobhit.S.365 seems to refer to Feedback Fruits. And Feedback Fruits is an add-on 3rd party tool which costs money. So, can you confirm the answer to @Mehrnaz.A.5730 's question "Does Brightspace offer any peer review/assessment tools with no need to purchase a third-party or external add-on?" is actually no?
Re: PowerPoint slides overlaying on top of each other when uploaded
I just had this same experience but may have uncovered a solution. When you view the PowerPoint, in the bottom left-hand corner of the Powerpoint viewer, is there an option to "view as page"? If so, select that. It seems to have solved the issue at my end.
Re: Password reset email
Hi @Rica.B.774, thank you for reaching out to the Brightspace Community!
This is something we would like to take a closer look at with a support case. Can you open a case through the ASC Support Portal so that we can review your Brightspace Instance with a dedicated support agent?
Here's how you can do it:
Feel free to reach out again if you need additional help!
Thanks!
Re: SCORM Packages with Awards attached
Hi @Laura.C.907
It depends on the Version Control settings you specified when you added the original SCORM package to your course content.
If you selected 'Always display the latest version', when you upload a new version the SCORM package, the most recently updated version is displayed in Content, effectively overwriting what was displayed in Content previously. As such, any completion data associated with the previous version will be replaced with no completion data since that version of package has not been completed.
If you selected 'Display this version even if a new version is added', when you upload a new version of the SCORM package, the original package version is still displayed in Content. This will ensure that completion data associated with the original version of the package will remain in tact.
Do you perhaps have a previous version of the Awards Issued data set (from before you updated the SCORM package) which you could refer to? If so, you can use this information to manually mark the SCORM activity as completed. This should then trigger the Release Condition to issue the award to those who you marked as having completed the activity in the previous version of the SCORM package.
Re: Where can you learn more about eportfolio?
2 Questions:
- We are looking for a space where MSN students can upload a collection of their work to share with potential employers. Would Brightspace eportfolio work for this purpose? Would they still have access to this landing page once they graduate?
2. Can they share the link with someone (an employer) who doesn't have Brightspace to review their work?
3. How can I find out more besides the 2 articles? Is there someone I could meet with for a demonstration so that I could teach the students?
Thanks so much!

Re: Community Updates
It's been a busy couple of weeks here in Community and we'd love to connect you with a few updates and recent changes
1) In February 2025 we launched LUMI Chat in the Approved Support Contact (ASC) Support Portal
In addition to being able to connect directly with an expert, ASCs will also have access to a generative AI powered
search right from the chat tool. Generative AI in this tool means ASCs won't just see recommendations for articles, but a summary of the key details from the articles that address your question, plus a link to the reference material.

3) Update to HTML Templates V5.
This update is specific to the supporting zip files. These new versions address two issues:
- client.min.css and client.min.js are now present in the shared.zip and D2L - HTML TEmplates V3_V5_2408a.zip files. These are placeholder files for use by the D2L Learning Services team on client engagements to add custom styling and interactivity. This resolves an error message some clients reported in the console log.
- an update to course.zip has been made that now allows tab headers to be edited in the Editor view not just the source code
These are not expected to alter look or behaviour in the pages users may have created with the prior zip files provided (October 2024).
This update can better facilitate assistance from D2L Team members if support is needed with templates in future.
You may choose to download and replace the old zip files with these new ones, but D2L Clients are not required to update their template files with this latest update.
