Main Course Documents are the {}``top-level'' documents of your course. They are the
-documents the user will use the navigation controls to move through, and
-makeup the course itself. When a user enters the course they will be taken to
-the first resource listed in the main course documents, and as they proceed
-forward through the course, they will proceed towards the last resource. Main
-Course documents also show up on the Navigate Course Content screen. Manipulating
-main course documents and supplemental course documents is essentially identical,
-except that main course documents has some options that is not available in the
-supplemental documents.What are Supplemental Course Documents?
-Changes made to the main course documents, such as adding new resources, changing the order,
-renaming or removing resources will be visible the next time you log in, or by
-clicking the re-initialize button on the course document screen, whichever comes
-first. Main Course Documents was added to LON-CAPA in 2003, so courses pre-dated
-2003, or deliberately created in the old style by the Domain Coordinator will not
-have Main Course Documents.
