-To add course content, log in to the course you want to add content to. Select \textbf{DOCS} on the Remote Control or Main Menu to display the \textbf{Course
-Documents} screen.
-
-There are four ways you can add a new document to the course:
-
-\begin{itemize}
-
-\item Import a document from the LON-CAPA network (\ref{Docs_Importing_LON-CAPA_Resource})
-\item Create a document from a prepared template (\ref{Docs_Creating_From_Template})
-\item Add an external resource (\ref{Docs_Adding_External_Resource})
-\item Upload a document from your hard drive such as a PowerPoint presentation or a
-PDF file (\ref{Docs_Uploading_From_Harddrive})
-
-\end{itemize}
-
-You can also organize documents into folders for structure,
-(\ref{Docs_Adding_Folders}) or add a \textbf{Navigate Contents} page,
-which creates a resource in the course that displays the \textbf{Navigate
-Course Contents} screen. This could make a good first page for a course.
-
-The resources are listed in the order they will be viewed. The first resource
-listed is the starting page a user will see when they access the course. To
-change the order of the resources, click on the blue up or down arrows next to
-the resource you wish to move. Repeat this until you have all the resources in the
-order you want. You can also click the \underbar{Remove} or \underbar{Rename} links to delete or rename resources. Changes made to Main Course Documents, such as
-changing the order, adding new resources, and renaming or removing resources will
-be visible the next time you log in, or by clicking the
-\fbox{re-initializing course} button
-on the \textbf{Course Documents} screen, whichever comes first.
+\label{Docs_Adding_Course_Doc}
+To add course content, either select \textbf{Course Editor} on the Inline Menu or
+select
+\includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{docs}
+\textbf{Edit course contents}
+on the Main Menu.
+
+There are several ways you can add a new resource to the course:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+
+\item Organize documents into folders for structure
+(see section \ref{Docs_Adding_Folders})
+
+\item \textbf{Upload} a document from outside LON-CAPA, for instance
+by uploading a document from your hard drive such as a PowerPoint presentation or a
+PDF file (see section \ref{Docs_Uploading_From_Harddrive})
+
+\item Link to an \textbf{External Resource} on a web site outside LON-CAPA by creating
+a link (see section \ref{Docs_Adding_External_Resource}) or to an \textbf{External Tool}
+in a different learning management system (see section\ref{Docs_Adding_External_Tool}).
+
+\item \textbf{Import} a Published Resource from the LON-CAPA network (see section \ref{Docs_Importing_LON-CAPA_Resource})
+
+\item Configure \textbf{Assessment} resources such as Simple Problems, Drop Boxes, External Scores, and Standard Problems.
+\index{simple problem}\index{drop box}\index{external scores}
+
+\item Configure \textbf{Collaboration} tools such as Discussion Boards, Course Rosters, and Group Portfolios.
+\index{discussion board}\index{roster}\index{course roster}\index{portfolio}\index{group portfolio}
+
+\item Create \textbf{Other} items, e.g., from a prepared template (see section \ref{Docs_Creating_From_Template})
+For example, this category includes a \textbf{Table of Contents},\index{table of contents}
+which creates a resource in the course that displays the list of course contents.
+Because the first resource opens for students when they login, using a Table of Contents as
+the first resource may be a good idea. This category also includes \textbf{Blank Web Pages.}\index{web page}
+\index{blank web page}
+
+\end{itemize}
+
+To change the order of the resources, click on the blue up or down arrows next to
+the resource you wish to move. Repeat this until you have all the resources in the
+order you want them. Other options include: \underbar{Remove} or \underbar{Rename}.
+
+Menu tabs changed between versions 2.10, 2.11, and 2.12. The equivalent commands are:
+\null \\
+
+\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|}
+\hline
+ \textbf{2.10 Menu} & \textbf{2.11 Menu} & \textbf{2.12 Menu} \\
+\hline
+ New Folder & New Folder & New Folder \\
+ Import Content & Upload & Upload \\
+ & & External \\
+ Published Content & Import & Import \\
+ & Grading & Assessment \\
+ Special Documents & Collaboration & Collaboration \\
+ & Other & Other \\
+\hline
+\end{tabular}
+\null \\
+
+NOTE: Changes made to Main Content are visible upon next log in, or by
+\fbox{re-initializing course}.
+
+Displaying the Contents page in a course will also re-initialize the
+course behind the scenes, unless it has been less than 10 minutes since
+the last check was made to see if the course had been changed.
