\label{Docs_Viewing_Course_Doc}

If a custom role in a course has rights to ``View-only access to course editing tools'', but 
not to ``Edit course content'' then the role will have access to the Course Editor
but will not be able to make any changes. 

Select \textbf{Course Editor} on the Inline Menu or select
\includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{docs}
\textbf{Edit course contents}
on the Main Menu.

The various ways a new resource can be added to a course described below will be shown, but
clicking the link will either display an alert: ``Editing rights unavailable for your current role'', 
or in some cases additional grayed-out form elements.

\begin{itemize}

\item Organize documents into folders for structure
(see section \ref{Docs_Adding_Folders})

\item Link or \textbf{Upload} a document from outside LON-CAPA, for instance by creating
a link (see section \ref{Docs_Adding_External_Resource}) or
by uploading a document from your hard drive such as a PowerPoint presentation or a
PDF file (see section \ref{Docs_Uploading_From_Harddrive})

\item \textbf{Import} a Published Resource from the LON-CAPA network (see section \ref{Docs_Importing_LON-CAPA_Resource})

\item Configure \textbf{Grading} resources such as Simple Problems, Drop Boxes, and External Scores.
\index{simple problem}\index{drop box}\index{external scores}

\item Configure \textbf{Collaboration} tools such as Discussion Boards, Course Rosters, and Group Portfolios.
\index{discussion board}\index{roster}\index{course roster}\index{portfolio}\index{group portfolio}

\item Create \textbf{Other} items, e.g., from a prepared template (see section \ref{Docs_Creating_From_Template})
For example, this category includes a \textbf{Table of Contents},\index{table of contents}
which creates a resource in the course that displays the list of course contents.
Because the first resource opens for students when they login, using a Table of Contents as
the first resource may be a good idea. This category also includes \textbf{Blank Web Pages.}\index{web page}
\index{blank web page}

\end{itemize}

Other items displayed: \underbar{Remove}, \underbar{Cut}, \underbar{Copy} and \underbar{Rename}
are inactive for a role with view-only access to the Course Editor.
