We would like to set the Brightspace profile photos for our users using our photos from their ID cards. Is there a way using file transfer or the API to pass the photos?

Navbar: Enforce one part by organization, allow customization in other part?
We are wondering if there is a way to create navbars for course offerings where one part is managed (and updated) by the organization (admins), and the other part editable by each course developer.

I would like to provide feedback via a rubric, but the students will just earn a completion score.
Alternatively, I was thinking I could score all of them using the rubric, then go to the gradebook and override the scores by selecting all the students who submitted and using Set grades. BUT will they see that feedback in that case?

I am looking to see if there is a place that I can go to check on any known outages within D2L. Tha
One thing I notice is the emailed notifications tend to be very delayed. Thus we end up putting in tickets that may not have been needed, if we had received the outage info in a better timeframe. This contributes to loss of productivity on the customer side. Whereas if we knew of the outage in more of a real time scenario…

Can users provide in-line feedback on content topics?
Is there a way for users to provide in-line feedback within a content topic itself? E.g. If a Course Designer sends their course for review with their Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), can SMEs add their comments directly in the HTML topic?
