Edit content pages

Updated 06 Nov 2023

Use the content editor to add text, images, links and other information to the content pages of your course. A content page is a type of course menu item you create by choosing Rich text as the content type.

To open the content editor (to edit a content page):

  1. If available in your course, open the content editor using either of these methods.
    • Select a menu item to open its content page. Then select Edit.
    • Select Manage Course from the course menu. Select more 3-dot menu for the course menu item whose content you want to edit, then select Edit.
  2. The content editor opens. For a larger workspace, select View then Fullscreen.

  3. Enter your text in the content workspace.

    Apply any font formats or select options from the toolbar menus. For example, you can insert an image, link, media, table, math equation, and more. If you copy and paste text into the content editor workspace, it does not automatically covert to HTML. To copy and paste text as HTML, select Source code from either the View or Tools menu.

    For details about editing icons, see content editor features.

    For details about using the math editor, see Use the math equation editor.

  4. Select Save.
