Request to expand Documentation on Accessibility and the Editor (Tables)
As I read through the documentation on the Brightspace Editor, I realized a gap in documentation relating to accessibility. There is no documentation to guide users through how to build an accessible table in the page editor. Sure, the accessibility checker catches some errors but is difficult for entry-level users to make…

Report for inactive vs. active users
What is the best report to use run to look for active vs. inactive users in a particular org unit? This is not based off a particular activity or assignment in the course. We are looking for active vs. inactive users - I don't see that option other than going to the Classlist and looking at each individual enrollee.

Change language/terms in LMS
Hello! I'm trying to change the term "closed" to "expired" for when a course ends. Does anyone know where/how I can make this change? I've been searching in Language Management but can't seem to match "Closed" with any of the variables there.
machine readable API documentation?
Is there a full machine readable API documentation available? I realize there are blocks of JSON-like descritiption in the human readable reference, and they are described here: But are all of those JSON-like segments gathered somewhere (for each API-version)? Potential formats (but I'm not limited to those): JSON, YAML,…
Is there an article outlining the character limitations for the various contexts within Brightspace?

According to this article, "D2L has introduced character limits to various fields within Brightspace over the last few years and will continue to evaluate fields that do not…

LTI Auth Tokens vs Developer Keys?
My organization wants to migrate all LTIs currently using Auth Tokens to Developer Keys instead. Does Brightspace support that? All of the Brightspace Developer Key documentation I've found talks about Canvas? https://www.google.com/search?q=brightspace+%22developer+key%22
Course Files API - Delete file
When I use the Course Files API to view a file, it works as expected. For example, GET d2l/api/lp/1.44/xxxx/managefiles/file?path=/path/to/file.txt (org id and file name omitted) works completely fine and as expected. Based on the documentation, it would appear that the only thing that should change is instead of using the…
