D2L (the company that owns Brightspace) uses Continuous Delivery to update our Brightspace system. The Continuous Delivery model gives us regular monthly updates allowing for incremental and easily integrated changes with no downtime required for our Brightspace system.<\/p>\n

Our Continuous Delivery update occurs on the 4th Thursday of each month. D2L provides release notes<\/a> to help users stay up-to-date with the changes.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the updates in the February 2025\/20.25.02 release that were added to our system this month:<\/p>\n

\n

1) Brightspace Editor \u2013 Updated Accessibility Checker icon<\/h3>\n

This release updates the Accessibility Checker icon in Brightspace Editor to improve user recognition and understanding.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>
The updated Accessibility Checker<\/strong> icon is now a human figure within a circle, replacing the eye symbol with a check mark for better clarity.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

2) Email \u2013 Validation required when using the Copy external mail on all sent messages option<\/h3>\n

Users must validate their external email addresses whenever they use the Copy external mail on all sent messages<\/strong> option. This option is selected in either Email Settings<\/strong> or the Account Settings<\/strong> > Email<\/strong> tab.<\/p>\n

\"Users<\/a>
Users can configure the Copy external mail on all sent messages<\/strong> option in the Account Settings<\/strong> > Email<\/strong> tab.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Account<\/a>
Once you have an external email address configured, the text of the option changes to Send a copy of each outgoing message to [external email]<\/strong>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Email<\/a>
Users can also configure the Copy external mail on all sent messages<\/strong> option in Email Settings<\/strong>. The text in this location also changes to Send a copy of each outgoing message to [external email]<\/strong>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Once users save their changes, the system sends a validation email message to the external email address. Users click the link in the email to validate the setting and email address. Unverified email addresses display a Not Verified - Click to Resend Verification Email status next to the Send a copy of each outgoing message to [external email] option. Users can resend validation emails, but the system does not copy messages to the external email address until it verifies the address. If users change their external email address, they must repeat the validation process.<\/p>\n

\"Email<\/a>
Unverified emails are indicated with the Not Verified - Click to Resend Verification Email<\/strong> status. Users can click that status to resend the verification email.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Previously, Copy external mail on all sent messages<\/strong> did not require validation of external email. Any users who have previously configured Copy external mail on all sent messages<\/strong> do not require validation unless their external email address is altered.<\/p>\n
