\textbf{Edit course contents}
on the Main Menu. 
Main Menu to display the \textbf{Course Editor} screen.

There are several ways you can add a new document to the course:

\begin{itemize}

\item Import a \textbf{Published Resource} from the LON-CAPA network (\ref{Docs_Importing_LON-CAPA_Resource})
\item Import a document from outside LON-CAPA, for instance by adding an external resource (\ref{Docs_Adding_External_Resource}) or 
by uploading a document from your hard drive such as a PowerPoint presentation or a
PDF file (\ref{Docs_Uploading_From_Harddrive})

\item Create a \textbf{Special Document} from a prepared template (\ref{Docs_Creating_From_Template})
\end{itemize}

You can also organize documents into folders for structure
(\ref{Docs_Adding_Folders}), or add a \textbf{Course Contents} page,
which creates a resource in the course that displays the \textbf{Course Contents} screen. This could make a good first page for a course. 

To change the order of the resources, click on the blue up or down arrows next to 
the resource you wish to move. Repeat this until you have all the resources in the 
order you want them. Other options include: \underbar{Remove} or \underbar{Rename}.
