- Document domain configuration for collapsed state on LON-CAPA menus on
  launch of Daxe editor.

\label{Domain_Configuration_Author_Defaults}
Starting with LON-CAPA 2.12, a Domain Coordinator can configure default
settings for Authoring Spaces in the domain. Defaults are of two types:
\begin{itemize}
\item \textbf{Defaults that can be overridden in an individual Authoring Space by an Author or co-Author}

Currently, there are five domain defaults of this type (which can be overridden
using selections from the Settings dropdown list item in the inline menu).

\begin{itemize}
\item Deactivate CodeMirror for EditXML editor

This sets whether CodeMirror (which provides line numbering, syntax highlighting and auto-insertion of balancing tags etc.) will be activated when using the EditXML editor.  Deactivation can improve performance and accessibility, but provides reduced functionality.

\item Daxe editor: LON-CAPA standard menus start collapsed

This sets whether LON-CAPA's standard menus are collapsed or expanded when the ``Edit with Daxe'' button is pushed when viewing a LON-CAPA problem in Authoring Space. In the Daxe editor page itself an icon is available at top left to expand or collapse the block of menus.

\item Dom. Coords. can enter Authoring Spaces in domain

This sets whether Domain Coordinators may enter Authoring Spaces belonging to other authors in their domain using the Co-Author: Select Author link beneath the Domain Coordinator role selectio item on the Roles page.

\item Default Copyright/Distribution

This sets the default selection in the Copyright/Distribution select box in a new metadata file when first publishing a file in Authoring Space.

\item Source Available selection set in a new metadata file

This sets the default selection in the Source Available select box in a new metadata file when first publishing a file in Authoring Space.

\end{itemize}

\item \textbf{Defaults that can be overridden for an individual Authoring Space by a Domain
Coordinator}

Currently, there are three domain defaults of this type (which can be overridden
via the ``View or modify a course or community'' interface).

\begin{itemize}

\item Available Editors 

Possible editors are: Standard editor (Edit) Text editor (EditXML) and the Daxe editor (Daxe)

\item Authoring Space quota (MB)

This sets the default disk space allocation for Authoring Spaces in the domain.  Different defaults can be set based on institutional user type of the Author.  Institutional types themselves are set vis the Domain configuration screen for ``Default authentication/language/timezone/portal/types''. 

\item WebDAV access availability

This sets the default availability of WebDAV access to Authoring Spaces (server must be running https). Different defaults can be set based on institutional user type of the Author.

\end{itemize}
