Active Incidents

Blackboard Issue with Document Links

Blackboard – SaaS Gov Cloud (US)

With the release of Blackboard SaaS 4000.8 to production last week, there was a change that inadvertently may have caused some links to become corrupted. In a specific scenario where a document included PDF attachments from more than one course, an attachment from a different course may no longer be referenced correctly. In some cases, the document may display an incorrect PDF or an attachment may not open as expected. Note: This can happen with any file types that are cross-referenced too (not just PDFs)

The team is currently investigating to identify impacted or affected links and is working to determine a fix.

We are experiencing another spike in activity which has caused intermittent delays in the processing of content added to the LMS for institutions in the US. Real time processing delays of approximately 1.5 hours for new content items may be seen during this time.

Note that all other Ally features (alternative formats, instructor feedback and institutional report) for previously processed content items should still be working as expected.
