Use options menus

Each asset in your course has an options menu. The choices on the menu are determined by the asset type. For example, the choices for a folder are different than the choices for a readiness check.

An options menu provides access to actions or features that relate to the asset with which it is associated. To open an asset's options menu, point to the asset and and click the down arrow to its right.

The following table is an alphabetical list of all possible options menu choices for an asset or folder. Depending on your course design and the selected asset, you may see some but not all of these choices.
