        !             4: The Authoring Space is the environment of LON-CAPA where you create and manage your course resources. Creating content involves both \textit{authoring} the resource during editing, and then \textit{publishing} the resource to make it available for use in courses. The figure \ref{Authoring Space Figure} shows the top menu. The username includes a dropdown box where you can edit preferences. 
        !             5: 
        !             6: The displayed menu includes:
        !             7: \begin{itemize}
        !             8: 	\item\textbf{Main Menu} provide links to additional personal settings.
        !             9: 	\item\textbf{Authoring Space} returns you to the current authoring space.
        !            10: 	\item\textbf{Browse} provides a link to published resources.
        !            11: 	\item\textbf{People} provides a menu to add coauthors.
        !            12: \end{itemize}
        !            13: The gray bar under the menu provides a clickable bread crumb trail. The current \textbf{authoring space} folder location is displayed near the bottom of the figure \ref{Authoring Space Figure}, and is clickable. The \textbf{Recent} dropdown box lists recent folder locations for quick navigation.
        !            14: 
        !            15: The upper right menu is not shown here, but includes the following links:
        !            16: \begin{itemize}
        !            17: 	\item\textbf{Message} links to your e-mail box.
        !            18: 	\item\textbf{Roles} returns you to your roles page.
        !            19: 	\item\textbf{Help} provides a link to online help for the authoring space. The online help is a modified version of this manual.
        !            20: 	\item\textbf{Logout} is a link to close the session.
        !            21: \end{itemize}
        !            22: 
        !            23: At the bottom of the page is a directory as shown in the figure \ref{Example Directory Figure}. On the left edge, icons help identify the content type. The \textbf{Actions} dropdown provides commands to move, copy, paste, publish the resource or other content-type-dependent options. The \textbf{Name} column provides a link to the resource or folder. The \textbf{Title} column provides a link to the meta data provided to help other users find your resource. The \textbf{Status} column shows whether the resource is \textbf{Published, Unpublished, or Obsolete.} The vertical bar (pink in the figure) color denotes the status: Green (published); Pink (unpublished); Gray (obsolete).
        !            24: 
        !            25:  In the center of the page are three action menus: \textbf{Actions for current directory, Upload a new document, Create a new directory or LON-CAPA document}. The first two menus are intuitive when exploring them. The third menu is shown in the figure \ref{New Content Menu} and new content types are described later in this manual.
