What鈥檚 new December 2025:
The Featured section has been removed. Previously, it displayed only four courses and could not rotate automatically. All sites on Discover now have equal visibility and opportunity for discovery.
A cleanup of older and inactive sites is underway to reduce clutter and improve the browsing experience.
Some sites may have been added to Discover unintentionally. If your module appears there by mistake, you can remove it by following the steps outlined in the UL Brightspace Discover guide and unticking the option in step 4 instead of ticking it.
Our team will contact module leaders with sites on discover directly to gather feedback on why a module site may need to appear on Discover.
From January, the ability for instructors to add sites to Discover will move from the admin menu to a TopDesk form, helping to keep Discover clear, relevant, and well organized for all users.
These changes will help ensure Discover continues to highlight the most useful and up to date sites for staff and students.
