The lists provided here in the Create assignments and assess submissions only specify which file types can be viewed by the document viewer or annotated with the annotations tools but I'm sure that there are still other file types that could be uploaded to the assignments tool.

In the New Content Experience, can you set manual completion tracking?
I have been testing out the new content experience as we may implement it school-wide next September, however I've noticed that the ability to have students manually track their own course completion in Content does not seem to be possible any more.

Documentation site not displaying correctly (title corrected)

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.
