Issue Using The Text Tool to Comment Assignments
Why is it that when grading assignments, when you select the TEXT cursor and write a comment on an assignment, you MUST go back to the toolbar and select the cursor again to write the next comment? I am so frustrated. I am a creative writing professor and Canvas user, new to Brightspace, and this is wasting me a lot of…

Setting up a waitlist?
I'm trying to set up a course that will be offered virtually at a later date. Folks often request to be added to our waitlist, which is currently managed by an external spreadsheet rather than on Brightspace under the course itself. Is there a way of managing a waitlist directly on Brightspace?
Would it be best to use the Data Purge Tool to delete items currently in the Recycle Bin?
Is it best to use the Data Purge Tool to delete items currently in the Recycle Bin? If so (or if not), could you explain why? I find it time consuming to manually copy the Org Unit IDs from the Recycle Bin and paste them individually into the Data Purge set. What are the best practices when using this tool and deleting…
Class Progress Not Displaying all Assignments
Class progress is displaying graded assignment in the Grades column. However when I go to an individual students, the graded assignments do not appear. (no assignment 1 and 4 if you look at the screenshot)
learning groups table in brightspace
I would like to know if I can access data that tells me which users are in which learning groups.
Is there a way to hide a module until the start date?
I would like to have sub-modules hidden until the start date/time and automatically made visible to students at the start date/time. Currently, the module is visible to them but they cannot click the links to their homework until the start date/time. This tends to create confusion or questions, so I would like modules to…
Why does my account say unauthorized access?
When I signed up for BrightSpace, it welcomed me and then went immediately to an unauthorized access page. Does anyone know how to get this issue fixed? Thank you Jen
Exam Feedback
Is there a way to collapse the 'Feedback' boxes on the new exam view? There used to be an option, but that was apparently removed in the new exam view. I do not need feedback boxes for every single multiple-choice question, and having to scroll through has made the new exam view quite cumbersome. Thank you.
