One other issue I noticed to complicate the problem: the description does appear, but only in a certain student view. If the student opens a course section and directly clicks on an activity, the description accompanying a PDF file or a video does not appear (see screenshots 1 and 2: if I open the activity directly from the tiled view, there is no activity description shown). However, if the student starts from the beginning of a course section and goes through the section via the progress arrows (see screenshots 3 and 4), the description does appear (when navigating via the buttons the blue arrows are pointing at, activity descriptions are available for the same files that didn´t show a description when opened in the tiled view). Any idea how to make it so that no matter where the student views the activity, the activity description will show up?tiled view of activities in a course

no description shows when activity is selected from tiled view

description is shown at the bottom of the embedded PDF when the activity is selected by the student via the navegation arrows

another example of a description showing in this view, with a different PDF setting (not embedded)
