Discussion board formatting
For one of my courses, we utilize discussion boards, and we are expected to format using APA7 guidelines. I am unable to indent, as when I press tab, it takes me to the next button instead of the usual expected indentation. I am also unable to create the hanging indent that is required in the references section. I have…

Is there a way to hide a module until the start date?
I would like to have sub-modules hidden until the start date/time and automatically made visible to students at the start date/time. Currently, the module is visible to them but they cannot click the links to their homework until the start date/time. This tends to create confusion or questions, so I would like modules to…

Published Feedback not showing for students
I spoke with an instructor last week about the fact that after the last wave update, her students could not read published feedback on the student grade screen. For example, the instructor entered feedback on this test, published it, and it's now not showing. This means individual students can't see their feedback. It…

Can navbars be personalized per user or role instead of applying to everyone?
I have a question about editing the navigation bar in Brightspace. When I tried customizing the navbar, I noticed that the changes applied to all users in the course or org unit, rather than just to my own view. Is there a way to create a personalized or user-specific navbar, where only my account—or a specific role—sees…

Brightspace API endpoint to required permissions mapping
Hi developers! I got multiple requests to create an overview for all the optional and required permissions for a role based on a list of endpoints that can be expected to be called from a user with that role. Now some endpoints like GET /d2l/api/bas/(version)/issued/users/(userId)/ do have a list of the required…

Exam Feedback
Is there a way to collapse the 'Feedback' boxes on the new exam view? There used to be an option, but that was apparently removed in the new exam view. I do not need feedback boxes for every single multiple-choice question, and having to scroll through has made the new exam view quite cumbersome. Thank you.

LTI tool view in Content is taking too much space for staff
Hello, I work with multiple LTI 1.3 tools in my courses in the New Content Experience-style. For students this is looking good, but for teachers (all staff) there is a toolbar, header, at the top taking too much space of the users display. Here is a picture of what I mean: The only function this header delivers is the…
