CLASH: Assignment Exemptions & Assignment Release Conditions

Can we hide inline feedback until the evaluation is published?
I just learned that students can see inline feedback even if the evaluation was saved, not published.

Can a Dropbox folder be shared between two course shells?
Is it possible to associate a single Dropbox folder with two different course shells? For example, if we created a centralized “Practicum Records” course shell with all students enrolled, could a Dropbox in an individual course automatically feed submissions into the centralized shell as well?

What is "Active Display" in the Assignments tool?
In the current (Feb 2026) Release Notes, in one of the changes for the Assignments tool, I see the mention of "Active Display", capitalized, as though this were a brand or other proper name for something.

Hiding certain events in the Calendar
Kia ora, we are setting up a course in Brightspace and want to hide certain events in the calendar (it is getting quite cluttered).

Has anyone experienced inconsistent “overdue” notices for assignments/quizzes completed on time?

I impersonated eight different students, and the behavior is identical—only this one assignment shows the overdue…

Assignments with “conditions”
It would be very helpful is students could still SEE assignments that have conditions attached that they haven’t met. As it is, students who haven’t met the conditions don’t even know the assignment exists (unless I’m doing something wrong).
