I have checked my…

Potential caching or updating issue in classic experience on Content
I have a professor who updated the due date in content, it appeared saved, but when refreshed the old date reappeared.

Is there a "Delete All Modules" for the New Content Experience?
In the classic content experience, it was possible to delete all content in a course by going to the Table of Contents, clicking the disclosure triangle, and selecting "Delete All Modules".

Powerpoint not accessible to students

How do you link a subject outline (specifically learning outcomes) to a subject site?
We are in the process of transitioning to Brightspace and I am one of the lucky ones involved in building (as opposed to migrating) content into subject sites. I note that Brightspace permits a linking of content and assessments to learning outcomes or standards. Our page says 'outcomes' btw. How do you enter learning…

French characters in equations are displayed at a smaller size than the surrounding text. Is there a way to override this?
