Add/edit/delete composite pages (.page files) via DOCS. Create .sequence and .page files
immediately when folders or pages are added via DOCS (before items have been added to them) - this
allows lonpageflip to work correctly. New help file for Composite Pages. Pages created via
DOCS stored in /uploaded area may contain uploaded files, resources form RES and simple
problems and score upload templates. Other Special documents are not supported.

\label{Docs_Adding_Pages}
You can add composite pages to your \textbf{Course Document} screen to
combine separate content items together for display in a single web page. 
Composite pages can contain uploaded files, homework problems imported
from the resource repository, and/or simple problems created using the 
problem editor. To add a composite page to your course, do the following:

\begin{itemize}

\item Log in to the course to which you wish to add a page.
\item Click \textbf{DOCS} on the remote control.
\item In the \textbf{Course Documents} screen, click the \textbf{New
Composite Page}  button in the \textbf{Special documents} column. 
\item In the pop up window, type the name of the new page and click OK.

The page will appear at the bottom of the course document area to which you added it.

\item To add resources to the page, click on the page you created.

\end{itemize}

Th course document screen will refresh, and the updated display will 
include the name of the new page appended to the end of the breadcrumb 
trail, that extends to the right of the \textbf{Main Course Documents} label.
The page is currently empty. Add new resources to the page as you would 
add resources to a Folder or to the "top-level" Course Documents area
(\ref{Docs_Adding_Course_Doc}), 
except that only a subset of the "Special documents" that may be  
placed in a folder, can be placed in a composite page. Also, if you use 
"Import" to include a published sequence in a page, then when the page is 
displayed the sequence will be opened and all of its contents will appear as 
elements of the composite page (i.e., no "folder" will appear in the page). 
If you wish to be able to hide selected elements from the sequence, you should 
use "Select Map" and "Load Map" to unpack the sequence prior to import. 

Note: Your new composite page will be active the next time you log in, or 
after clicking the \textbf{re-initializing course} button on the course
document screen, whichever comes first.
