Customizing an eText

The Customize eText tab allows instructors to customize the table of contents for a course. It displays the table of contents in a window pane towards the right. Use this window to re-order content and hide/show chapters or sections. All the changes made here appear in table of contents in the left navigation pane but do not have any effect on the order of or appearance of pages contained in the eText.
