- Update documentation for Check Resource Versions screen for consistency
  with interface changes.

    1: \label{Docs_Check_Resource_Versions}
    2: To check or set the versions of resources imported into your course, do the following: 
    3: \begin{enumerate}
    4: 
    5: \item Select \textbf{Course Editor} on the Inline Menu or 
    6: \includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{docs}
    7: \textbf{Edit course contents}
    8: within Main Menu.
    9: \item Click the \textbf{Content Utilities} tab in the Course Editor screen 
   10: \item Click 
   11: \includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{resversion}
   12: to see which resources have been updated over a specific
   13: time frame.
   14: 
   15: \end{enumerate}
   16: 
   17: 
   18: NOTE:  When you import a resource into a course, you get
   19: the most current resource by default.
   20: 
   21: You can also fix the version of a resource used in a course, 
   22: so it will not change automatically should the author republish it.
   23: 
   24: However, LON-CAPA recommends that you use the default settings to keep all resources
   25: up-to-date because most resource changes are improvements by their authors.
   26: 
   27: There are three parts to the ``Check Resource Versions'' screen.
   28: 
   29: \begin{itemize}
   30: 
   31: \item Change display
   32: 
   33: Select the time frame for which version changes are to be displayed, and click the \fbox{Display} button to update the listing. If resources changed within the time frame they will be listed in date order with most recently changed listed first.
   34: 
   35: \item Actions
   36: 
   37: If you wish to apply a version rule to all resources imported into your course,  click the \fbox{Go} button for one of the two options -- either always use the most recent published version for all resources, or fix all resources to the version currently in use in the course.
   38: 
   39: \item Version choice(s) for specific resources
   40: 
   41: If you wish to fix only specific resources to a particular version, but allow others to use the most recent version, select a version from the select box for each of the resources to be fixed, and click either of the \fbox{Save changes} buttons.
   42: 
   43: The ``History'' column includes links to versioned resources and also links to display the differences between any version and the most recently published one.
   44: 
   45: \end{itemize}
