Milestone Grade Items - Allows Learners to see Hidden Grade Items
Hi there, we have discovered that when instructors set up "milestone grade items" and include previously "hidden" grade items it actually shows the learners all the scores on the hidden items (when they click on the calculator icon). Not sure if this has been reported before as it seems to be an usability issue?

Why do awards shared to LinkedIn show D2L as the issuer?
When creating an award, we specify the issuer name, issuer url and email.

Or could it attempt to match the issuer name that we entered on the award?

Inquiry about Brightspace Widget for Displaying Announcements as a Slider or Carousel
I would like to inquire if there is a widget in Brightspace that has the ability to display announcements in thumbnail size and then slide to the next. This is very similar to an image slider or carousel, but instead of images, it shows and slides announcements. If yes, please let me know how to use it.

Is there a plan to allow appropriate instructor-level access to Data Hub?
Right now, we—as admins—need to pull reports for our instructors. This is because "the Data Hub tool can only be used at the org level and reports generated from within the Data Hub tool contain all org data." (from d2l's documentation). It would be nice if there was a way to allow Data Hub to be pre-filtered to only show…
