We just got Createspace adn I was lettign our Instructionla design team know about it. Looking at he Documentation fro administrators on the Community site under Createspace > About > Technical considerations for administrators the first bullet point says: "Reporting and Data Sets: Createspace uses a unique organization…

The https://community.d2l.com/brightspace/kb/articles/35371-september-2026-20-26-09 release notes indicate that the Self Assessment tool is approaching End of Life. I doubt that anyone on our site has used that tool, but I'd like to verify that is truly the case. Can I find that out via a specific data set, or do I need to…

I just saw the preview for the Release Notes for next month (October 2026). And in that, I saw that an automated quality assurance process was going to implemented for customers in the US and Canada. And for clarity, I want if this is in reference to the surveys we receive after tickets are completed or something else?

I see that September release makes Enhanced Table of Contents the only Table of Contents view. We like everything about the Enhanced Table of Contents except "Learner completion progress indicators for topics and modules." We find this gives our students a false sense of what they have completed. I know there is an option…

Anyone having reports of trouble with visually impaired students navigating the left column with the recent change in content area?

The https://community.d2l.com/brightspace/kb/articles/34059-march-2026-20-26-03 state, "Brightspace's Respondus LockDown Browser integration will soon support LTI 1.3. Clients must work directly with Respondus to activate LTI 1.3. There is a new d2l.3rdParty.Respondus.LockdownLTI13LinkId variable required as part of the…

In the release noets for the november release the Service Users are announced. The release notes tell you wher to find them and how to create them but I mis documentation about how to link them to an oAuth2.0 tool. Ther doesn't seem to be any documentation about that part.

I was trying out the new Find Apps page added as part of the July 2026 release in Brightspace. What I couldn't figure out is what controls which apps display on that page. I'm somewhat familiar with the Integration Hub page (https://integrationhub.brightspace.com/) but it seems like way more apps are listed there than on…

How do I create a reference hyperlink to my course study notes in Brightspace?

Hi. I usually find release notes here: https://community.d2l.com/brightspace/categories/release-notes-en But this morning I find only discussion posts and not the usual lists of notes, etc.. Where have the rel. notes gone?

Hello Everyone May I just ask where can we find our Archived Courses? Thank you

How can we filter a search by faculty name in course offerings now that course management is no longer available?

In the current (Feb 2026) Release Notes, in one of the changes for the Assignments tool, I see the mention of "Active Display", capitalized, as though this were a brand or other proper name for something. This term is mentioned in a handful of places in D2L's online documentation, but without any real context in any of…

Hi. I have just seen in the Product and Services Preview that an end-of-life for the Course Updater tool is planned for March 2026. We did not know that it the CU tool had been given a sunset adn were planning to use it for our housekeeping process. We had planned step 1. to be: inactivate the courses that are within scope…

Hi all. In the December notes it is mentioned in "Media Library – Share folders using role-based collaborators | New" that permission Content Service > Search for [ROLE] is required to search for users in a given role to add them as collaborators. I do not see that permission in the Permissions matrix? Is a typo? Is it…

Is there a way to have Source Courses appear in the "My Courses" widget or on the waffle-icon drawer where you can pin courses? Or is the only way to access Source Courses via the "Source Courses" tab under the new Courses tool?

Hi all. We are trying out the new "Create Space" a.k.a. Media Library improvements. It seems that when inserting an asset in a course, the only option is to accept an association that will update the asset directly in the course where it has been inserted. While reviewing the potential usecases for "Create Space", I am…

Hi all. We are trying out the new Source Courses functionality. It seems that an assocation between a source course and course offering (re-offered or deployed) does not mean that any changes afterwards in the source course content will automatically happen in the course offer too. Does it? There is not mentioning of this…

In the October release notes it says that the new Deploy Source Courses feature is available to all Creator+ customers. Is there a reason this availability is restricted to Creator+ customers and not being released to all Brightspace Core clients, similar to the other source course functionality? Thank you, Joanna
