How to migrate announcements from Blackboard Learn to Brightspace
My Blackboard Learn course has about 70 announcements that are now unavailable for students to view because their end dates were in the past. I keep them that way, and each semester I activate them at various times by setting new start dates. When my Blackboard course gets exported and then imported to Brightspace, will…
Replacement for Slim Announcements
Hello, Is there a replacement or something similar to the slim announcement widget? We are looking for an announcement widget that doesn't take up the whole course home page when an instructor posts a long announcement, but rather prompts the student to "read more" so the learner see the rest of the widget on the homepage…
Why are announcements showing to learners when the release conditions are NOT met?
For some reason this one course we have had issues with announcements showing in error. We have 2 conditions that should BOTH be met before this announcement shows however it's showing to students who have passed. Is there something we are missing?

Sending announcement to particlular students/courses
I wanted to do a global announcement that would post in courses. I have tried using release conditions under classlist for users enrolled in an org unit at the school level but no success. Do I need it for each course offered or is there an easier way.
How can I create an announcement that will be pushed out to all of my courses at once?
I teach a Math Lab that has 32 courses. Is there a way to create an publish an announcement for all 32 courses without having to go into each individual course? (Same for the 'About Me' widgets) This will take forever!

Global announcements
Our district is currently setting up multiple schools on Bright Space on the district page. Is there anyway to prevent announcements that are posted from other schools from being automatically posted into our school landing page?
D2L API for News > SortOrder Attribute > Issue?
Hello, Any D2L experts or internal folks here who can explain to me how the SortOrder attribute is supposed to work for the GET /d2l/api/le/(version)/(orgUnitId)/news/ that returns ? In my initial testing, I see multiple News Items being returned with the exact same value here even after pinning. Multiple items with…
Unable to view announcements
I can see that new announcements have been posted; however, I am unable to view the messages. Can anyone offer any assistance with this?
Global Announcements - Only on My Home
Is it possible to make it so that Global Announcements only appear on the overall Brightspace My Home page? I see you can make it so they only appear on the Course Homepage, but it would be more useful if global announcements could be limited to the My Home page. The reason is that faculty prefer that Announcements on the…
Announcement Emails
I am not receiving the automatic email when I post an announcement to my course. I have this checked in my notifications. Not sure what is happening.
How do I transfer Google Classroom assignments and announcements to Brightspace?
Want to have access to all my Google Classroom tools with the Brightspace platform - how can I do that ?
