                     16: To create a new LON-CAPA problem in a specified Authoring Space proceed as follows: 
                     17: 
                     18: \begin{enumerate}
                     19:

                     23: within Main Menu. 
                     24: 
                     25: \item On the in-line menu of the \textbf{Course Editor} screen,

                     29: \item In the expanded box, select the location where the new file should be stored.
                     30: 
                     31: \end{enumerate}
                     32: 
                     33: If the Authoring Space's homeserver is hosting the current LON-CAPA session then
                     34: the file can be stored. Otherwise, pushing the ``Switch Server'' button will transfer
                     35: the session to the homeserver, so a new file can be created and stored.
                     36: 
                     37: Once a Authoring Space location is chosen, a directory (and optionally a new
                     38: sub-directory) can be selected, and a filename entered.
                     39: 
                     40: If the chosen location is the course's own Authoring Space, then a ``placeholder''
                     41: for a problem instance in the current folder can (optionally) be added. If added,
                     42: the title to display in the course's Contents Listing (and Editor) can be entered.
                     43: 
                     44: Choosing Yes for ``Use Template?'' will expand the display to permit 
                     45: selection of one of LON-CAPA's standard templates as the initial contents of the 
                     46: new file.
                     47: 
                     48: If a placeholder was added it will be appended to the existing items in the current 
                     49: folder in the Course Editor. The new placeholder item will be
                     50: hidden from students until the ``hidden'' checkbox has been unchecked,
                     51: and the problem itself will have a status of ``published'',
                     52: i.e., the initial version will have been copied from the course's 
                     53: ``Authoring Space'' to its ``Published Resource Space'',
                     54: a default metadata file will have been created (and published) 
                     55: including specifying restricting its use to just the current course.
                     56: 
                     57: After ``Create Problem'' is pushed the problem will be rendered in Authoring Space,
                     58: with button(s) available for launch of all editor(s) supported in the homeserver's domain.
                     59:
