RESOLVED 7 days ago - at 03/28/2025 02:18PM

All document failures have now been reprocessed. We are still experiencing document rendering issues and working with our partner to resolve the issue for clients. A rendering error may still occur intermittently. Please note that this does not prevent submission but may cause confusion for students, as they are unable to see the content properly during file upload. We are continuing to work on the resolution to this issue and it will be included in a future Blackboard release.

IDENTIFIED 8 days ago - at 03/27/2025 04:00PM

The cause of the failures has been addressed and we are currently reprocessing any documents that previously failed. We expect the remainder to be finished within the next six hours. An update will be provided once the reprocessing is complete.

We are continuing to investigate this issue. It has been determined that the issue is unrelated to Bb Annotate, so the planned Bb Annotate upgrade will resume today. See this maintenance notice for more information on that update:
