Sending a certificate of completion
Hi, I am looking for advice on the best way to send a personalized certificate of completion that can be printed once someone has completed a final assessment quiz.

Is there a "Delete All Modules" for the New Content Experience?
In the classic content experience, it was possible to delete all content in a course by going to the Table of Contents, clicking the disclosure triangle, and selecting "Delete All Modules". Through searching, I could not find a way to perform the same action in the New Content Experience. The best I could find is going to…

Troubleshooting tips for slow HTML editor loading?
One instructional designer encounters slow loading times for their HTML editor. It seems to only affect this one user, so I assume it's an internet connection/VPN issue. Any troubleshooting tips for them? I've told them that the next time it happens to try the following: Try a different browser (they're on Chrome) Try…

Say a user collection is already enrolled in a course. Later, some new users are added to that user collection. Yes, those new users can be enrolled in the course independent of the user collection, but shouldn't the new users automatically get enrolled because they were added to the previously-enrolled user collection?

New Content Experience is randomly turning off for instructors?
Twice this past week, instructors have reached out because the new Content Experience in their courses have randomly turned off. I checked - they do not have permissions to turn it on/off.
