Course Editing: In-Depth Using the Page Editor

Overview of the Pages Toolbar

At the top of the editor, you will see a toolbar that contains commands to manage your pages. 

Below is an overview of each command.

View Page

Allows you to see the page you are editing as a student would see it.

Page Break

If there is a disproportionately large amount of text on one page or you want to move some content to a new page, click this button. You can then split up large amounts of content with just a few clicks of the mouse.
