Content Classic vs New
Is the direction moving forward to phase out classic content?
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". Through searching, I could not find a way to perform the same action in the New Content Experience. The best I could find is going to…
Powerpoint not accessible to students
Hi. In one of my courses, the Powerpoint title in the module is not clickable for the students (same for me when i am in student view), in my other course it is. The formatting of the PPTs, and all the settings are the same from course to course. I can't figure it out and don't see the issue anywhere online. Would…

Customizing unit tab colors in Lessons view (part 2 😉)
Hi all! I just found this discussion topic and was posting a reaction because I had exactly the same question: https://community.d2l.com/brightspace/discussion/3312/customizing-unit-tabs-in-lessons-view Since it seems to be impossible to comment on a discussion marked as "Answered" I've made this new question here in the…
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…
How can I control the size of french characters in equations?
French characters in equations are displayed at a smaller size than the surrounding text. Is there a way to override this?
Text appearing as different sizes for different people
Hello everyone! I am experiencing the following issue. The content is text, which is all set to be the same size. However, other people viewing the content have reported that the size of text is inconsistent. For example, some lines of text in a table row appear bigger than other rows of the table. Is this an issue with…
Is there any type of audit logging for course modifications?
I've got an issue where an instructor is claiming that content just suddenly disappeared and is wondering what happened however I can't find anywhere that includes audit logging or any sort of logs that might explain what happened. I know there is IPSIS audit logging but that doesn't help and wasn't involved in this…
Are there slide size limits for PPSX and PPTX files
There seems to be a limit to slide sizes when uploading Powerpoint files. If you use widescreen slides, they do not render correctly in the viewer provided within D2L. If you convert it to PDF, it does render fine. Any ideas?
Using anchor links on a content page causes the horizontal nav bar to disappear in instructor view
I am using anchor links on a content page as a footnote reference in the following way: Coding for the index in the text: <li>Recruitment page for the company’s project management office: “Global Project & Alliance Management”<a href="#t1fa" name="ftnref1"><sup>1</sup></a>, where you’ll find an overview of how “Our…

The new buttons appear at…
When you create a new HTML page, is there a way to choose which folder it saves into?
If I want to organize my course content into folders: * I create a new HTML page * It saves in the main course folder. * I have to navigate to Manage Files, then move the HTML page into the right folder. Is there a way to choose where an HTML page saves? Edited to add: We are using the New Content Experience/Lessons
Does this config variable still operate? d2l.Tools.Content.FontFace
I thought that variable was going away. I haven't set a default font, so, according to the documentation, browser default is it for new pages in content that do not have a style sheet. I just looked at settings in Content in a course, and, apparently, it is possible to set a variety of fonts, browser default or several…
Embedded Spotify podcast blocked - how to permanently allow for all users
I'm having an issue embedding Spotify podcasts onto our lessons for users to listen to. The embedded code has been added and shows up from an administrator perspective. However when logging in as a learner, it shows that the media is from another wesbite and has been blocked, but it does not give the option to allow this…
