- Gap Finder incorrect setting configurations
- Shadow and chain groups without at least two questions
- AI-created questions that require approval
Recommended Changes
Course elements that can be improved but will not prevent publication are flagged as Recommended Changes and are reviewable through the link in the blue Recommend Changes notice. These changes may include missing topics and missing alt text in images.
