But when we go to "Insert Stuff" "Media Library" then insert the image into our content. The content editor isn't recognising as an image so we can't then add alt text or mark as decorative. Is there a…

Is there a way to hide the "Post to Course Homepage" option?
We currently do not use the Activity Feed widget for our course homepages. For our courses that use the New Content Experience, is there a way to hide the "Post to Course Homepage" option as an administrator?

I've noticed that when I get a 404 in Brightspace, it seems impossible to work out what the 404 is for. For example, if you include a mistyped URL for something like an image in a page, the console errors only show the referrer URL and the 404 URL, but not the request URL. Additionally, if you go to a non-existent URL, it…

Public Content
It would be nice if there were an option on content to "Make Public". This could apply to everything in Content, but mostly I would use it for Web Page models.
