-We are writing this blog post to document a change to how REST APIs work with Ultra Assignments and Tests. Previously, before Blackboard version 3900.98, you could use the createAssignment REST API and treat the resulting object like a Test. You could add more than one question of differing types, using the user interface. You could use the REST API and add more than one presentation-type question type using POST request to /learn/api/public/v1/courses/{courseId}/assessments/{assessmentId}/questions/{questionId}.

 [Blackboard introduced a new Assignment tool with version 3900.98.](https://help.blackboard.com/Learn/Administrator/SaaS/Release_Notes/Archived_Release_Notes#3900.98.0-6) It is no longer the same as a Test. With the new Assignment tool, when you use createAssignment the assignment body is still created, but you only see the instructions, with no option to add questions, and you cannot add questions using the assessments endpoint. To create a Test you must now use the createContent endpoint. You can find more information here: [Creating and Updating Content with REST APIs](/docs/blackboard/rest-apis/hands-on/creating-content-with-rest-apis).

 In this section, we cover how you register your application with Anthology and deploy it to a Learn instance. Registration and deployment are not covered in the specification provided by 1EdTech, and each LMS vendor handles it slightly differently.
 
 ## Anthology Developer Portal
 
-The first thing to understand about registering your application is that Anthology has you register your tool **ONCE** with our developer portal here <https://developer.anthology.com>. This is a central, self-service application, running in AWS where you enter information about your application, and are given the values you need for your application to work with LTI Advantage and Learn. It is also the same place you get the ID, key, and secret if you are going to use our public REST API.
+The first thing to understand about registering your application is that Anthology has you register your tool **ONCE** with our developer portal here [https://developer.anthology.com](https://developer.anthology.com).

It is also the same place you get the ID, key, and secret if you are going to use our public REST API.
 
 :::caution
 Do not ask institutions to register your tool with the Anthology Developer Portal. You register it **ONCE** with Anthology, and institutions can deploy it with the Client ID you give them. They will receive a Deployment ID, which they will exchange with you to set up the account. It is the deployment ID, in conjunction with the client ID and issuer, that uniquely identifies the business agreement between the tool vendor and the institution.
