D2L provides <a href=\"https:\/\/community.d2l.com\/brightspace\/categories\/release-notes-en\">release notes<\/a> to help users stay up-to-date with the changes.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the updates in the September 2026\/20.26.09 release were added to our system:<\/p>\n<div>\n<h3>1) Brightspace Editor \u2013 Additional heading options<\/h3>\n<p>To make creating accessible content easier, the Brightspace Editor now includes <strong>Heading 5<\/strong> and <strong>Heading 6<\/strong> in the <strong>Format<\/strong> drop-down menu.
