Brightspace Editor – Consistent link creation with the ability to choose link format | Updated
As of this release, inserting a link into Brightspace Editor opens the Add Link dialog which allows users to determine if their links open in a new window (set as the default) or in the current window. The text box in the Add Link dialog also allows users to add text to their link.
The Add Link dialog opens when inserting links with the context menu or with new keyboard shortcuts (for example, ctrl+K or command+K).
Additionally, the dialog includes a new Insert Quicklink option, allowing users to easily insert a quicklink. When using Insert Stuff > Insert Link or Insert Quicklink > Link, the same Link, Text, and Open In options are displayed ensuring consistent link creation.

Quizzes – Improved experience for generating quiz reports | Updated
This release introduces a better experience for instructors when running and exporting quiz reports with large amounts of data. To avoid time-out failures and screen freezing, the following report types now run asynchronously:
- Attempt Details
- Question Statistics
- Question Details
- User Statistics
- User Attempts
When reports are ready for downloading, Brightspace generates a notification that instructors can access from the bell icon in the navbar.
Previously, quiz reports were generated slowly and would time-out in large classes.
