Subject: How to Edit (Change) Documents

To change any of the documents which you have the ability to edit, use the same basic procedures. You have already seen the Edit procedure referred to in prior modules, for example when you learned to Edit an Evaluation marked Private Save to release it to the student.

1. IMPORTANT: check the page to make sure that it does not have any images or internal links on it; this does not include the default navigation icons that are present on every course page. If you even just click the 'Edit Document' link on a page containing one of these elements the system may delete it. If the document you want to edit does contain a picture or internal link on it, please contact the Empire State College Help Desk with the exact details of the change(s) needed (including course name, term and number, module and document name, and the exact text that will be changed) and they can make the change for you.

2. To change/edit the document, look for the Edit Document link at the top left corner .

3. You can then make updates/changes as necessary.

4. After you have finished making the updates, click on the Save link at the top. Click on Cancel if you want to reset your changes and return the document to its original state .

5. View the document on the web to ensure that your changes appear correctly.
