1.8 webbsuza 6: controls to move through the Main Course Documents. Main Course Documents are listed on
7: the \textbf{Navigate Course Contents} screen. Main Course Documents were added to
8: LON-CAPA in 2003, so pre-2003 courses (as well as courses deliberately created in
9: the old style) will not have Main Course Documents.

11: \textbf{Supplemental Course Documents} are attached to the course but do
12: not appear in the main course sequence. Students access these documents by
13: selecting \textbf{DOCS} on the Remote Control or Main Menu. Supplemental Course Documents
14: are particularly useful for auxiliary files that may not be directly viewable

19: except Main Course Documents have some options not available

23: already existing courses, or personalize courses with their own syllabi
24: or information pages. Main Course Documents and Supplemental Course Documents
25: do not carry over from one course to another. To create
26: documents for use in multiple courses, please talk to your LON-CAPA
27: Domain Coordinator about becoming an Author. For more information about becomming an Author, see
