Editing saved items

To modify items you've copied or imported, you use the My Items "" content type filter.

  1. From the Mastering Instructor Course Home page, make sure the book containing the edited items is the book associated with the current course. The book is identified in the bottom right corner.

    To select a course based on a different book/source: Select My Courses from the menu (left) and choose a course based on another book.

  2. Select Item Library from the menu (left).
  3. Use the source selection menus (top) to specify the Chapter for the edited content.

    ""

    • Any item that you copied and edited (or just copied) is associated with the chapter in which you copied the item.
    • To find items you created or imported, but for which you haven't specified a chapter yet, choose No Chapter Specified for the chapter.
    • To specify a chapter for one of your items: Select Edit Chapter/Section above the item's title in the found items list in the Item Library.
  4. From the content selection area, select My Items "" from the Item Type menu .

    ""
  5. Select an item title to open it in Standard View (what students see).
  6. In the Manage this Item menu (top right), select Edit Item.

    By default, the item opens in the Simple Editor. You’re encouraged to make most of your edits to copied items using the Simple Editor, because of its ease of use and because it’s more universally supported on different browsers.

  7. [Optional] To use the Advanced Editor, select the Open Advanced Editor link (top right).
    Note that the Advanced Editor has stricter system requirements than the Simple Editor.
