New Content Experience

Is the Bookmarks feature limited to the (classic) content experience?
I'm new to using Brightspace VLE. We are using the New Content Experience in Brightspace. I have seen documentation that refers to a bookmarking feature where students can bookmark content to return to. However, I cannot see this in the course Content. There is 'Bookmarks' option on the 'Content Browser' homepage widget,…
How do students see if a standard is linked to a quiz question.
I impersonated a student to see what they see when taking a quiz with questions aligned. I did not see any way for the student to know if the quiz question was aligned to a standard. Is there something extra I need to do? or is there no way for students to know if a question is linked to a standard?
Placing content at different levels of the layout hierarchy
Hello everyone, Are there any drawbacks to placing actual content (text) at the level of the unit or within one unit 'page' itself, rather than in a HTML file that sits within that unit? Similarly for lessons, is the lesson that you create meant to contain the content or is the bulk of the content meant to be made up of…
Uploading .xlsx files to Content - any config settings here?
Hello, I've noted that when uploading .xlsx files (Microsoft Excel files) to a course's content, it automatically converts the file to a .pdf file. A workaround I use is saving the Excel file as a .csv file as that file type does not get converted. Is there any way to configure our site so that .xlsx files do not get…
Completion of training videos for compliance tracking
Hi folks, New Brightspace user, and my company is currently investigating how to track video completion as part of our onboarding process. Does anyone know of a way to have video playback to a certain percentage to count as automatic content completion? Thanks! Jessica
Multiple Browser Tabs Open
Greetings! I've had some students ask if it were possible to disable the opening of new tabs in a browser when they click on the Go to Discussion link. I did a screen capture and posted what I think is going on to my students. But I wonder if there is, in fact, a way of disabling the "new window" approach and simply have…
Markdowns automatic in Content Editor?
Hello, I was just curious if there was a way to turn automatic markdown updates off, whether it's a browser setting or a setting in Brightspace. Like if I wanted to italicize something, I'd do " * Italicize this *", without the spaces. You can really do it with anything on this: Thanks!
PDF files not displaying in Content
I have been notified by an instructor that they are unable to view any PDF files within their course. They are using the New Content Experience and if they select any of the PDF files from the Content tab they receive a display error similar to the one below. I have been unable to duplicate this error using a number of…

Can't Make a Copy of Google Drive Document from Brightspace
Hi, I've copied the components of a class I previously taught to this years class. I have all my content via google docs, however BS is not letting the students copy the document into another google doc. They can only download the document as a word doc. I tried to copy the doc from BS myself and it doesn't allow me either…
Adding the Annotation tool in Content for Student Use?
The Annotation tools available to instructors when marking up Assignments are great - love them! Is there any plan to add these features to the Content tool, for use by Students? That way, they could highlight text and make notes about key concepts inline, in context. I looked in the Roadmap and the PIE but didn't see any…

Inserting a chart
I would like to insert a 2-row chart (title row and row with the information) into a page. I want the title to be clickable so that when it is clicked it will open the rest of the chart which is hidden until the title is clicked. Is this possible and if so, how? Thanks for any help.
