ALL USERS: Where is spellcheck in the Blackboard content editor?

Summary

Use this guidance for questions about the auto spellcheck feature not operating within the Blackboard content editor.

Body

Blackboard Ultra’s content editor does not include its own built-in spell check tool. Instead, it relies on your web browser’s spell checker.


How Spell Check Works in Blackboard Ultra

  • When you misspell a word, a red squiggly underline appears beneath it.

  • This underline is generated by your browser’s spell checker, not Blackboard.

  • To fix the word:

    • Right-click on the underlined word.

    • Choose from your browser’s list of suggested corrections.


💡 Tip:
Spell checking behavior may vary slightly depending on the browser you use. If you don’t see underlines or suggestions, check your browser settings to ensure spell check is enabled.
