May I use Brightspace as my LMS for my own web application?
Hello community. I'm trying to build an educative course for my university and I don't want to place it on Brightspace, I want to make it as external tool.

Request to expand Documentation on Accessibility and the Editor (Tables)
As I read through the documentation on the Brightspace Editor, I realized a gap in documentation relating to accessibility.
