There are 2 ways to create and share assignments on Brightspace: Via the Assignments tool or via the Content tool. We recommend creating the assignment via the content tool as this is the simplest way to create, share, and link the assignment to the content unit. Regardless of where you start the assignment builder or editor experience is the same.
