customizing the Units in NCE
Hello, We received the custom colors update for the New Content Experience and while faculty are happy to customize the colors, many aren't too happy about the change of the look of the modules. The color of the Units and Lessons are just a sliver of the module buttons, and in an all white screen the colors barely stand…

Brightspace CSS stylesheet randomly added to source code on our template pages
We have templates available via Public Files for our instructors to use, but recently we have noticed that sometimes a line of code gets added randomly and it messes up our own CSS. <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://templates.lcs.brightspace.com/lib/assets/css/styles.min.css">This code keeps appearing underneath our own…

Changing grade of quiz after students have completed quiz
Hi everyone, If I have a quiz that was marked out of 10 and completed by students, but the mark is meant to be out of five, can I adjust this in grade centre or will it erase the students' marks? How do I adjust? Thank you 😀

Updates to sources
How do you deal with updates to a resource in your online content when, for example, the URL is changed or the content is updated?

Current practice / best practice for setting course Start Dates?
At my university, we set the Start Date for all courses to correspond with the date on which the academic semester begins — for example, our 16 week Fall semester begins on August 26 this year, so all courses for that semester have a default Start Date of August 26 at 12:00 AM (though individual instructors may modify the…

Why can I Only view images from insert stuff > course files menu?
I have to go to insert quick link, then course files and I can see all of my files, pdf's, word documents, images, etc. However, when I click insert stuff > course files I am only able to see/select image files. I don't know what content experience I am getting.

Fetching grades for withdrawn students
We have an instructor who is auditing the grades for an exam that students take to see if the score is a predictor of persistence. He'd also like to know what (if any) grade students who have withdrawn from the course received. I know it can be done one at a time via Classlist > Enrollment statistics, but this is somewhat…

We've got a quiz running, where all users have 5 attempts to pass. If they don't pass in 5 attempts they can request extra attempts. We add these using Special Access in the Availability Dates & Conditions menu. It's been working fine since January, but this week although the extra attempts are showing in the Special…

Submissions and Grades with SIS Course Merge
We're exploring the SIS course merge tool as a way to manage multiple cohorts. If we merge a course, how can we link the grades to the students' original course code? We will need to do that to ensure the grades are linked to specific degree programmes. Would students upload submissions to the merged module?
