Bug Fixes

 Ordered list spacing Fixed: 11/02/2018 

An update was made to the default margins on ordered lists to make sure the numbers could be read for lists of 10 or more items.

 UEI: Support for new Canvas file system Fixed: 11/08/2018

The Upload/Embed Image tool has been updated to work with the new file system Canvas has been gradually rolling out. We have been working with Canvas over the last few months to get them to update their API documentation so we could update the Upload/Embed Image tool to work with the new system. Previously institutions who had been rolled to the new file system would get a high traffic error message and the images never made it to Canvas.

 Multi-Tool: Edit Front page link update Fixed: 11/21/2018

Fixed an issue where the link to edit the Front Page from the Templates tool was missing the course ID.
