New Content Experience

Customize What would you like to add?
Hi, My institution recently switched to the new content (lessons) experience, which changed how we add materials. Now, when I click the "Add Existing" button, it takes me to a page called"What would you like to add?". This page shows a few pre-selected content types on the main screen, and everything else is grouped under…
Can the popup message "New content is now available!" in Lessons experience be disabled?
When users satisfy release conditions on a page in the Lessons experience, a popup message appears towards the bottom of the interface that reads "New content is now available!" and links to the released content with a hyperlinked message "Click to visit new content." We find the popup distracting. Can these popups be…

Activity description not appearing for students
One of our instructors is moving her class to the new content experience. Her LTI assignments each have a description that would appear in the old content layout, but these descriptions are now not visible to students. Is this a limitation of the new content experience?
embed Discussion in Content - view as Learner
After I embed a Discussion into Content and view as la earner, this is what I see. Previously, there was no "Go To Discussion' button. The discussion was embedded in the Content main window.

What would cause a course topic's contents to suddenly stop displaying?
I have a content developer whose content in their course topics no longer display as expected. The attached image is what we're seeing. This was not an issue when the content was being developed. There are at least 9 topics that are suddenly not opening. Is this something I can fix as an admin?

Can someone at D2L improve the attendance function please. Currently it is rather useless. it doesnt interconnect with the grade book or metrics and it is difficult to even read because the students names disappear when you scroll to the right to enter my Attendance Status. Please help
Template path in NCE
Hi, We're moving from the Classic experience to the NCE shortly. Currently we rely on using the Template Path option in the Display Settings (see ). This provides the option to limit the templates visible to those we've provided in the File Store and can be conveniently used from the Template dropdown menu in the editor.…

D2L Course Page freezing
Has anyone else had any trouble with the D2L course page freezing in Chrome browser? This has happened to me three times now, and each time it has been in a different page of my course. So far it has happened in Content, the course homepage, and in Assignments. The navbar and the scroll bar both disappear and I am unable…
Projecting/ Presenting Information via Brightspace...
I use Brightspace exclusively in my classroom. One thing I wish for is some type of "presentation mode" when I project my lessons. When I make the screen larger by zooming in (while using Chrome), I find that it makes the top banner and side menus larger as well -decreasing my overall real estate space. (I'm not sure if…

Adding a note and notification to an updated file
Hello, Is it possible to add a note to an updated file so that students can see a brief description of what was updated? I'm guessing this can be done with the new Description box feature in NCE, but can it be done in a way so that students receive a notification when a new version of a file is updated? Thanks, Yildiz

Hi, Is there a way to get around the need to manually switch Modules (e.g. Weekly Content) from Hidden to Visible? In other words, is there a setting allowing instructors to schedule the exact date and time when a Module becomes Visible to students? Thanks for your help! Ron
Issue with Pulse app not displaying Brightspace elements
I am having an intermittent issue with the Pulse app. Content I am creating in Brightspace elements (tabs, accordions) is sometimes visible and other times not. It is inconsistent from html page to page. I reinstalled the Pulse app and updated my phone (iPhone 12). My colleague with an Android reports the same problem.…
Adding a Module to New Experience
Good moring, How do I add a module to the new experience? The old experience has the option to add a new module below an existing module. When I click the plus sign next to New Unit, I am given a tab that does not align with the existing modules.
New learner/content experience: Start w/menu in viewer window?
In new learner experience, after you click on a module to view the content, it opens in a full viewer window. Along the left upper corner, you can select the 3 lines to open a table of contents.
