With recent updates to Blackboard, there was a change that may have caused some links to become corrupted within Blackboard documents, identified on February 10th, 2026. In a specific scenario where a document included PDF attachments from more than one course, an attachment from a different course may no longer be referenced correctly. In some cases, the document may display an incorrect PDF or an attachment may not open as expected. Note: This can happen with any file types that are cross-referenced too (not just PDFs)

The team at Blackboard is currently investigating to identify impacted or affected links and is working to determine a fix.

You may follow this issue on Blackboard’s Status and Incidents website.
