If the new "Unsubscribe from notification emails" function works as described, there is going to be a faculty uprising on my campus!

Assignment display changes that are not included in April release notes
Why was the date when the assignment feedback was last saved changed to a tooltip in the last update? I can find nothing about it in the release notes. https://community.d2l.com/brightspace/kb/articles/25578-april-2024-20-24-4 We use that date for many reasons, like instructors knowing where they left off Grading/…

Brightspace Editor – Edited images are saved with their original names to improve ease of location
We recommend that our faculty create an images folder to house their images. When Brightspace updates the image with the timestamp it stores it in the main directory. Is any thought being given to saving the timestamped version in the original directory? Beth Kiggins

I understand from the documentation on the new quiz creation experience that the quiz difficulty setting is tagged to be sunset. This is a setting that often comes to us from publisher test banks. Will it be displayed upon import, or will it be lost? This is especially helpful to designers, who may not be SMEs for a…

What is "Active Display" in the Assignments tool?
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.

October release - Can shared content be used
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…

October - Is Source Course content changes automatically updated to associated courses?
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…
