Duplicate Practices
I'm having trouble figuring out how to duplicate a practice (specifically Multi-Select) in Creator+ is this not possible? Looks like the data is created in a .json file somewhere, but I can't just cut and paste as that doesn't quite work. I don't seem to have any problem with duplication of elements however.

D2L Insights portal not appearing
Hi. We have two instances of D2L, one for testing and one for production. As far as I can tell, I have the permissions for the instructor role set the same in both instances, and the config variables set the same.

Content jumping ahead when selected
Hi everyone, I'm having the following issue and I was hoping someone would be able to help me out.

How can Academic Support Role view Discussions in Class Progress?
Hello - I have Sys Admin role in Brightspace and can view Discussions in Class Progress and view how many posts a student has made on each discussion (inital post & then replies).

Is there a way to remove "new submission notifications" for ungraded assignments in bulk?
I have assignments in my D2L course that are completion-based extra credit, and I want to remove the new submission notifications for them all but can't find a way to do that in bulk. I can't find a way to get the notifications to disappear unless I comment on each submission one by one, which makes no sense for me to do…
