How do I learn more about Daylight changes each month?
• Good news — now that we've reached Milestone 1 and Daylight is available in your test
environments, we are making every effort to document known issues, fixed issues, and
functional changes in the usual way.
• Feature-related information can be found in Preview and Current Release Notes.
• Known Issues and Fixed Issues are published as part of the Platform Release Notes
document. Each PRB is marked with “(Daylight)” for easy spotting.
• Brightspace Daylight Visual Design Getting Started Guide is available, offering consolidated
information on Daylight.
Where should I send inquiries?
• If something is broken or you're unable to complete a workflow, report this through Support in
the usual fashion. This allows us to track Daylight Incidents centrally, and to create and
address Problems in the usual way.
• If you have general feedback or questions about the Daylight program, feel free to reach out
to us via our Daylight email address [email protected].
• If you have a specific idea or suggestion, you can submit an idea to the Product Idea
Exchange (PIE) with "Daylight" in the name and with "Daylight" as a tag.
