Issues with Powerpoint view in New Content Experience
I have many faculty members who like to upload Powerpoint decks into the Content area. I already receive complaints that Powerpoint files turn into a PDF, but am now receiving complaints that the PDF is showing with text overlaid and out of place. Typically, I would direct faculty members to change to the "View as Page"…

Assignment submissions past the due date
Assignments submitted after the due date should not overwrite the 0 (or other grade) put in at the due date. This defeats the whole purpose of having due dates on assignments.

importing with course components take too long
My understanding is that if I try to export/import a quiz without selecting Course Components, then the embedded figures will not come through. Maybe this has been fixed; I don't know. But when I select Course Components, it seems like it tries to export/import all of the components of the course, not the ones just…

Now I see that is a legacy feature only, which has me struggling to create new page breaks at appropriate spacing. I sometimes have one question with multiple sections. It doesn't work to have the…

As students retake the quiz (homework), I only want them to redo questions they got wrong, so have checked off "On new attempts, only allow answers for previously incorrect questions". I teach math and have multipart questions. I…

Is Creator+ feature working properly on Brightspace?
We have used Creator+ to design various dynamic elements for our courses, we really enjoy working with this feature. As far as we could tell, it was working on Dec 1.

Why can't I view release conditions for a quiz or assignment?
I often set up release conditions to ensure students complete short intro assessments in a unit before they can access resources and assessments.
