-\label{Docs_Supplemental}Supplemental Course Documents are managed virtually identically to Main Course
-Documents, but there are a few
-Main Course Document features not available in the Supplemental Course Documents
-area. Specifically, you cannot add a \textbf{Navigate Content} page (which
-makes no sense as it is already a button on the student's remote control),
-or a \textbf{Simple Page} or \textbf{Bulletin Board} since those should be
-in the course sequence. Like the Main Course Documents, you can still add
-a \textbf{New Folder} (\ref{Docs_Adding_Folders}), add an \textbf{External
-Resource} (\ref{Docs_Adding_External_Resource}), add a \textbf{Syllabus}
-(\ref{Docs_Creating_From_Template}), or add your \textbf{My Personal Info}
-page (\ref{Docs_Creating_From_Template}).
+Supplemental Course Documents are auxiliary file the course
+coordinator wants the student to have access to that are not
+necessarily part of the course, such as reference material, handouts,
+ect. This is also useful for files that may not be directly viewable
+or usable in a browser, such as PowerPoint pesentations and word
+documents. Supplemental documents differ in how the material is
+presented to the student. The student will not see the supplemental
+documents unless they click DOCS on the remote control. Manipulating
+supplemental course documents is essentially identical to main course
+documents, except that main course documents has some options that is
+not available in the supplemental documents. Specifically, you cannot
+add a \textbf{Navigate Content} page, a
+\textbf{Simple Page}, or \textbf{Bulletin Board} since those should be
+in the course sequence. Like the Main Course Documents, you can still
+add a \textbf{New Folder} (\ref{Docs_Adding_Folders}), add an
+\textbf{External Resource} (\ref{Docs_Adding_External_Resource}), add
+a \textbf{Syllabus} (\ref{Docs_Creating_From_Template}), or add your
+\textbf{My Personal Info} page (\ref{Docs_Creating_From_Template}).
 
-The changes made to the Supplemental Course Documents will appear when you
-\textbf{Re-Initialize} the course on your \textbf{ROLES} screen, or login,
-which ever comes first.
+Changes made to supplemental 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
+\textbf{re-initializing course} button on the course document screen, whichever
+comes first.
+
+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 you
+LON-CAPA Domain Coordinator about becoming an Author.
