    3: If you have permission to edit a spreadsheet you will also have permission to
    4: save and load spreadsheet definition files.  
    5: 
    6: \textbf{Default Spreadsheets}
    7: 
    8: There are three default spreadsheets, one for each level.  These are called
    9: \texttt{default\_classcalc}, \texttt{default\_studentcalc}, and 
   10: \texttt{default\_assesscalc}.
   11: These are the starting spreadsheets for every class. 
   12: 
   13: \textbf{Modified Spreadsheets}
   14: 
   15: When you modify a spreadsheet you begin working with an temporary copy.  
   16: You may save the spreadsheet using the ``Save as'' 
   17: button on the spreadsheet.  Fill in a name and click on the ``Save as'' button.
   18: You may also use the ``Save as \& Make This Sheet the Default'' button
   19: to set the current spreadsheet definition as the default for this level.
   20: 
   21: \textbf{Loading a Spreadsheet Definition from a Published File}
   22: 
   23: Using the ``Select Spreadsheet File'' link opens the LON-CAPA resource browser.
   24: Only files with the extension \texttt{spreadsheet} can be selected.  The
   25: spreadsheet definition file must be valid XML. (You must be author to create and publish a spreadsheet file \ref{Authoring_Spreadsheet}.)
   26: 
   27: \textbf{Setting the Assessment Level Spreadsheets used to Calculate Grades}
   28: 
   29: In the student level spreadsheet every assessment in the course has a 
   30: spreadsheet definition file associated with it.  
   31: The spreadsheet definition used for each assessment
   32: is selected using a drop-down dialog in the "assessments" row.
   33: Initially this spreadsheet is ``Default'', meaning the current default 
   34: assessment spreadsheet will be used to compute the students grade.
   35: 
   36: Changing the spreadsheet used for an assessment modifies the student level 
   37: spreadsheet, so you must use the ``Save as'' button to save the current
   38: student spreadsheet.
