    1: \label{Docs_Uploading_From_Harddrive}Any file you create on your hard drive
    2: can be uploaded into your course (e.g., PowerPoint presentations or PDF
    3: files).
    4: 
    5: To upload a file from your hard drive into the course, do the following:
    6: 
    7: \begin{enumerate}
    8: 
    9: \item Create the document and save it to your hard drive.
   10: \item Log in to the course to which you wish to add content.
   11: \item Select \textbf{Course Editor} on the Inline Menu or 
   12: \includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{docs}
   13: \textbf{Edit course contents}
   14: within Main Menu. 
   15: \item Click on \fbox{Upload} on the menu bar of the \textbf{Course Editor} screen.
   16: \item Type in the path to your document or click the \fbox{Browse...} button to find the 
   17: the document on your hard drive. You can upload a single file (e.g., pdf, ppt etc.) 
   18: or an archive file (zip and tar files are acceptable) from which multiple files can be
   19: extracted. 
   20: \item Type the document title in the Title text box.
   21: \item Click the \fbox{Import Content} button.
   22: 
   23: \end{enumerate}
   24: 
   25: \label{Upload Web Page}Special Notes on importing \textbf{Web Pages}\index{web page}: If you have already created a
   26: web page outside LON-CAPA you can upload the images when you first
   27: upload the web page, in one of two ways.  Either:
   28: 
   29: (a) upload the web page via: Course Editor -$>$ Upload -$>$ Upload
   30: File, and check the \textbf{Upload embedded images/multimedia files if HTML
   31: file} checkbox.  You will them be prompted to upload the image files (as
   32: dependencies)
   33: 
   34: or
   35: 
   36: (b) Create a zip (or tar) file archive containing the web page and the
   37: images (e.g., in a sub-folder).  Use:
   38: 
   39: Course Editor -$>$ Upload -$>$ Upload File
   40: 
   41: to upload the zip file.  LON-CAPA will prompt you to decide what should
   42: be done with the content.
   43: 
   44: In general, there is no need for image/multimedia files to be loaded into the
   45: course content hierarchy if the images are linked from a Web Page.  Instead, upload the
   46: web page(s) that contain the images, and then upload the images as
   47: dependencies.  One limitation of this method currently, is that if you
   48: use the same linked content in many places, those file cannot be shared and must
   49: be duplicated for each page. If you 
   50: upload a Web Page and forget to check to box to include embedded images/multimedia
   51: files, you can still upload the individually. See the section
   52: \ref{Docs_Web_Page} for more information about working with Web Page file dependencies.
   53: 
   54: NOTE: Your new file will be visible the next time you log in, or by
   55: \fbox{re-initializing course}.
