Information

This issue has been resolved in the new Blackboard Content Editor and will not be fixed in the current editor.

Key updates:

  • Blackboard is rebuilding the Content Editor from the ground up, and this issue has been fixed in the new editor.

  • Development efforts are focused on the new editor; therefore, content-authoring fixes and enhancements will not be backported to the current editor.

  • Institutions can evaluate the new editor through the Early Access Program:
    ​Rich Content Editor: Early Access

  • Beginning with the August release, institutions can enable a beta experience for Blackboard Documents, allowing instructors to create content using either the current or new editor.

  • From September through December, monthly updates will continue to improve feature parity, introduce new capabilities, and refine the user experience based on feedback.

  • The new editor is currently planned for broader availability across Blackboard, including Announcements, Assignments, Tests, Journals, Discussions, and other content-authoring areas with the December release.
