Possibility of wordcount menu in Discussion Post Page
I am using D2L bright space at Conestoga college for my courses. One of my courses has many discussion posts and part of the grading metrics is checking minimum number of words.

When will the new Quiz Evaluation Experience apply to interface within the Question Tab?

Is there a limit to the # of tiles that can be displayed in the Visual Table of Contents widget?
I thought for sure I used to be able to display 16 tiles (one for each week, all on the same page) in the Visual Table of Contents widget. Now it seems to be limited to 12, unless you select "View All," and then they display in giant size with a squashed image. Am I just imagining this?

So, I would just like to confirm with the community that this version no longer allows laypersons like me to embed accordions, tabs, etc.…
