Updated chap. 6 of course manual.

\label{Docs_Adding_Pages}
Add composite pages to your \textbf{Course Contents} screen to
combine separate content items together for display in a single web page. 
Composite pages can contain uploaded files, homework problems imported
from the resource repository, and/or simple problems created using the 
problem editor. To add a composite page to your course, do the following:

\begin{itemize}

\item Log in to the course to which you wish to add a page.
\item Select \textbf{Course Contents} on the Inline Menu or 
\includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{docs}
\textbf{Edit course contents}
within Main Menu. 

\item At the buttom of the \textbf{Course Contents} screen, 
click \fbox{Special Documents}. Next click on
\includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{page}
\textbf{New Composite Page}.
\item In the pop up window, type the name of the new page and click OK.

The page will appear at the bottom of the course document area to which you added it.

\item To add resources to the page, click on the page you created.

\end{itemize}

The Course Document screen will refresh, and the updated display will 
include the name of the new page appended to the end of the breadcrumb 
trail, that extends below the \textbf{Main Course Documents} tab.
The page is currently empty. Add new resources to the page as you would 
add resources to a Folder or to the "top-level" Course Documents area
(\ref{Docs_Adding_Course_Doc}), 
except that only a subset of the "Special documents" that may be  
placed in a folder, can be placed in a composite page. Also, if you use 
"Import" to include a published sequence in a page; then when the page is 
displayed; the sequence will open and all of its contents appear as 
elements of the composite page (i.e., no "folder" will appear in the page). 
If you wish to be able to hide selected elements from the sequence, you should 
use "Select Map" and "Load Map" to unpack the sequence prior to import. 

Note: Your new composite page will be active the next time you log in, or 
by \fbox{re-initializing course}.
