Detailed description of the layout and support in the tool for creating course memo

Editing view and overview in the tool

Once you have chosen the course offering and clicked on "Edit", you will end up in the editing view for your course memo. In the edit view, you see that the tool contains a number of predefined headings that are grouped into five tabs. When you are in a tab, you will in the right column see an overview of which headings are included in that tab. If a crossed-out eye appears to the right of the title, it means that the title will not be included in the course memo when it is published. If no crossed-out eye is visible to the right of the title, it will be included in the course memo when it is published.

To get an overview of which headings are included in the five tabs, click on the "Preview" button, which can simplify things for you when you later work with the content in the various tabs. To return to the edit view, click the "Edit" button.

Navigation in the tool

Each heading in the overview in the right-hand column is a link. Click on the link to quickly navigate directly to the heading in the edit view.

You also navigate in the tool by using the buttons in the bar at the bottom of the page. The buttons will always be displayed in step 2. The list contains the "Choose course offering" button (which takes you back to the page where you select course offering and saved drafts), the "Save draft" button (which saves your changes in the course memo you are working on), the "Exit (save draft)" button (which saves your draft and takes you to the tool's home page) and finally the "Preview" button which takes you to the "Preview and publish" page.
