A ``Standard Problem'' icon/link will be available when the Course Editor's
Assessment tab is the currently selected tab, if:

\begin{itemize}

\item The current user has an active Author or co-Author role

or 

\item `In-course Authoring'' is set to be available in the course.

\end{itemize}

To create a new LON-CAPA problem in a specified Authoring Space proceed as follows: 

\begin{enumerate}

\item Select \textbf{Course Editor} on the Inline Menu or 
\includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{docs}
\textbf{Edit course contents}
within Main Menu. 

\item On the in-line menu of the \textbf{Course Editor} screen, 
click \fbox{Assessment}. Next click on
\includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{stdprob}
\textbf{Standard Problem}.
\item In the expanded box, select the location where the new file should be stored.

\end{enumerate}

If the Authoring Space's homeserver is hosting the current LON-CAPA session then
the file can be stored. Otherwise, pushing the ``Switch Server'' button will transfer
the session to the homeserver, so a new file can be created and stored.

Once a Authoring Space location is chosen, a directory (and optionally a new
sub-directory) can be selected, and a filename entered.

If the chosen location is the course's own Authoring Space, then a ``placeholder''
for a problem instance in the current folder can (optionally) be added. If added,
the title to display in the course's Contents Listing (and Editor) can be entered.

Choosing Yes for ``Use Template?'' will expand the display to permit 
selection of one of LON-CAPA's standard templates as the initial contents of the 
new file.

If a placeholder was added it will be appended to the existing items in the current 
folder in the Course Editor. The new placeholder item will be
hidden from students until the ``hidden'' checkbox has been unchecked,
and the problem itself will have a status of ``published'',
i.e., the initial version will have been copied from the course's 
``Authoring Space'' to its ``Published Resource Space'',
a default metadata file will have been created (and published) 
including specifying restricting its use to just the current course.

After ``Create Problem'' is pushed the problem will be rendered in Authoring Space,
with button(s) available for launch of all editor(s) supported in the homeserver's domain.
