Clicks to get to grading
Anyone know the fastest/easiest way to get to the grading in your course?

I am new to this so I'm sure there is a better/faster way to get to the grading. Your help is appreciated.

Discover Tool - What do you call it?
Hello, Out of curiosity what do other organisations call the "discover" tool on the nav bars. We are using this for optional modules that our users can self enroll onto, any mandatory courses we enroll them.

Start dates and calendar events
We have an educator who is setting start dates for making lecture content available to cut down on manual work (making things visible later on). However, this is now creating calendar events that are likely to confuse students. They may think the lecture is on that date, when it is just content being released. We would…

Accessibility report animation
I am typing a description for a module. As I type, the 'accessibility monitor' animates, like a speedometer. it is distracting. How can i turn this off? Also, a frowny face emoji consistently shows up next to a document I have scanned in as a resource for students. This is distracting (and, kind-of rude, towards me). How…

Progress tracker
Hi everyone, We’re using the Creator+ package, and we’ve built our content using HTML and Brightspace — not SCORM.
