+Main Course Documents are the {}``top-level'' documents of your
+course. They are the documents the 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. 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-initializing button on the course document screen, whichever comes
+first.
 
+\textit{Note}: Main Course Documents and Supplemental Course Documents do not
+carry over from one course to another. If you would like to create
+documents that can be used in multiple courses, please ask your
+LON-CAPA Domain Coordinator about becoming an Author.
