How to have different roles enrolled into sections?
Using a CSV file to enroll a user in a "manager" role into a section to restrict their visibility to the class progress of that section. Do not want the user to be a "manager" at the course offering level. The manager should only see data for the section they are enrolled in. Is this possible?

How to make a global Widget that functions based on the current course?
The following specific issue is an example of a more general one we're facing: We have several small features (widgets, intelligent agents, possibly others) that we'd like to add to many courses all at once, and manage the feature as a single entity rather than go into each course one by one. But they need to function…

Documentation site not displaying correctly (title corrected)
A whole lot of the pages I land on here have no useful instructions and no links. Why do these useless pages exist? For example, where do I find the Video Lecture Template? I can't use it if I can't reach it. NOTE: THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE.

When copying quizzes to a new course, quizzes with images will have the images continue to be linked to the old course.

Has anyone found a way to use ungrading in Brightspace?
For example I have been trying to think of a way to use ungrading and release conditions. I get that you can use release conditions to restrict access to content until a student has mastered it. What I am looking for is how to use the Brightspace tools in ungrading. Thanks.
