It is necessary to click the Search icon/button to display the filter results.

| Question: How do I dismiss or restore News Items?Answer: https://d2l.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1299
Note that individual users control which items to dismiss from or restore to their view. For example, if a teacher dismisses a News item, it still displays to students. This feature can be a little confusing because the icon for dismissing is an “X” which most often means “delete.” In this case, the “X” simply means “remove from display” and there is an option to restore the item back into view. |
