Why is the button to turn in an assignment named differently depending on how you get to it?
If the student goes to the assignment from the content then they see the button is named Upload but if they go to the assignment from Course Tools it is named Add a File. We have had students confused by directions to upload their assignment but only seeing Add a File and vice versa.

For example, if you include a mistyped URL for something like an image in a page, the console errors only show the referrer URL and the 404 URL, but not the request URL. Additionally, if you go to a non-existent URL, it…

Public Content
It would be nice if there were an option on content to "Make Public". This could apply to everything in Content, but mostly I would use it for Web Page models.
