Enablement Information
Information about the default state of a released feature, function or change in a Brightspace site is included to provide additional information, supporting change preparation, or planning in your organization.
Availability (Enabled State)
Advanced knowledge about whether customers can control access to the feature, function, or changes. This allows Administrators, trainers and supporting roles in an organization an opportunity to know which items are controllable and which are not.
- On: Indicates that the feature’s default state is visible/on and that there is no override or setting to control this state by any user.
- Off: Indicates that the feature’s default state is hidden/off and that there is no override or setting to control this state by any user.
- On (Overridable): Indicates the features default state and that it can be controlled or overridden by a user.

- Off (Overridable): Indicates the features default state and that it can be controlled or overridden by a Brightspace user. For example, a new permission that is not selected, a new setting or new config variable that is off by default both provide opportunities to review and enable if desired.
Site Actions (Enablement Method)
For any feature, function, or change that is controllable, this section indicate the role settings, permissions, config variables, tool, or application settings you use to control the feature.
This allows Administrators, trainers, or supporting roles in an organization the opportunity to make decisions earlier and better plan for any work required to support any updates or changes.

- Role Settings
- Role Permissions
- Config variables
- In Tool settings (such as Grades Settings or Widget customization)

Assignments — Updated API scope for Assignment Valence APIs to improve client security and privacy
Planned Release | 20.26.01
Change and Enablement Information
Role / Audience: API Developer, Administrator, Internal D2L Teams

Additional Information Overview
The Assignment Valence API will use more restrictive scopes to improve security and privacy. For example:

The feature will deliver improvements in the following areas:
- Improved security and reduced risk exposure.
- Enhanced privacy through limited data access.
- Alignment with best practices.
Clients using Assignment Valence APIs should review and test integrations for compatibility.
Updated APIs

Groups and Sections — Use search and multi-select with group and section filters
Planned Release | 20.26.01
Change and Enablement Information
Role / Audience: Instructor, Administrator
Site Availability: On
Site Enablement Actions: None (Automatic)
Additional Information Overview
In Brightspace, the current View By filters used to filter users by groups and sections will be updated to improve their visual design and support additional functionality. The existing filter presents a single dropdown containing all group categories, groups, and sections. When many groups or sections exist, this list can be long and difficult to navigate.
With the upcoming update, filters in tools such as Classlist, Grades, and Discussions will display groups and sections in separate dropdowns. The new filter will allow you to filter by an entire group category, select multiple groups within or across categories, or filter by multiple sections within a section category. A new search bar will also be introduced, enabling you to quickly locate a specific group within a category or a section with ease.

Planned Release | 20.26.01
Change and Enablement Information
Role / Audience: Learner

Additional Information Overview
To make it easier for learners to manage their time and workload, the Brightspace Pulse app will display due dates, start dates, and end dates for content items.
Currently, Pulse does not display key scheduling information, such as due dates, start dates, or end dates, on content pages. This can make it difficult for learners to quickly understand when different items are due.

They will be replaced by two new, purpose-built data sets:
- Outcome Set Course
- Outcome Set Org
The new data sets provide more accurate and granular data that better reflect how Outcome Sets are structured and used in Brightspace.

Assignments — Implement Group Assignments to Enhance Advanced
Assessment
Planned Release | 20.26.02
Change and Enablement Information
Role / Audience: Instructor, Administrator
Site Availability: On
Site Enablement: None (Automatic)
Additional Information Overview
Group Assignments will be supported in Advanced Assessment (AA), enabling instructors to evaluate groups of learners collaboratively within Brightspace. This enhancement will allow clients to leverage the Groups tool so learners can submit work as a team and receive shared feedback and grades using AA features.
Previously, AA did not support Group Assignments; this update will remove that limitation and provide a more complete and flexible assessment experience, particularly for Co-Marking, Delegation, and Multi-Evaluator workflows for groups.
When instructors switch an assignment from individual to group assessment (or vice versa) after evaluator allocations have been set, all allocations will be removed. A confirmation dialog will appear to ensure the instructor is aware of this change before proceeding.
Terminology throughout the Assignment Creation experience will be updated to use Groups instead of Learners when a group assignment is selected.
Additional text updates will appear in the Evaluation & Feedback panel to reflect group-based workflows.
