Any plans for "Overview" in New Content Experience?
In the July 2025 release the "Overview" from Classic was made visible in New Content Experience (NCE) as part of Enchanced TOC, if this was turned on and if it has previously been setup in Classic for the course.
We are considering switching ON the Enhanced TOC. We have never used Classic and so for now the visibility of Overview is not an issue.
But in the July 2025 notes it says:
- The course Overview cannot currently be added directly from the New Content Experience.
Does "currently" indicate that "overview" will be coming to NCE at some point? If yes, then we hope that it will be controlled by a separat variable or organization tool ON/OFF, so that it will not be forced on in systems where the Enhanced TOC has already been switched on. We do not want to use Overview and need to be able to continue that way.

I would have chosen the category "Product Roadmap", but it was un-selectable. Is that intentional?

Hi @Birgitte.B.96,
Thank you for reaching out to the Brightspace Community. At this time, the release notes and available documentation do not indicate any confirmed or committed plans to bring the Overview feature into the New Content Experience (NCE). The use of the term “currently” in the July 2025 release notes is intended to reflect the feature’s present state, rather than signal a planned update or roadmap commitment.
That said, we understand your concern about maintaining control over the visibility of Overview, especially in environments where Enhanced TOC is enabled but Overview is not desired. Your feedback is valuable, and I have shared it with the product team for consideration in future development discussions.Regarding the “Product Roadmap” category being unavailable, this is intentional, as it is typically reserved for internal use or specific types of posts.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Best,
Claire
