Ally for LMS: Bug Fixes and Improvements
Fixed an issue in the new Usage Report that prevented the department ID from filtering both the UI and the export when drilling into the Directory tab.

Fixed an issue in Blackboard integrations that prevented instructors from overwriting existing alternative text on an image when using the Course Accessibility Report.
Fixed an issue within Ally’s alternative format processing that sometimes stripped the first word after each bullet point when creating the HTML alternative formats from Word documents containing bulleted lists.
Fixed an issue in the Moodle 5 plugins that prevented Ally from flagging images lacking alternative text in the rich content if the image description was only entered as spaces.
Fixed an issue that caused Ally to incorrectly flag some Word documents with headings issues despite headings being present.
Fixed a minor issue within the Ally Instructor Feedback error messaging that shifted the close button for the Oops error modal to the bottom of the screen.
Implemented performance improvements for the D2L Brightspace course loading process to avoid timeouts while processing large volumes of courses.
Ally for Web: Bug Fixes and Improvements
Fixed an issue with the Ally for Web manual crawl process that caused the crawl to only recheck some domains and not every domain resulting in some broken link issues not showing until the next automatic weekly crawl.
