Quick Edit allows Instructors to make changes to course content from within the course view instead of navigating through the Course Control Panel to edit content. When an Instructor is viewing the course through the Student course view, they may use this shortcut to edit course content, without having to open the Content Area through the Course Control Panel. Quick Edit controls appear in the navigation bar in each Content Area and any subfolders. System Administrators may disable this feature.
Note: The Edit View link is displayed to users with a role of Instructor, TA, Course Builder, or System Administrator. Due to the size of the content editing pages, this method of editing is not recommended for users who have 800x600 resolution.
Follow the steps below to open the Manage Course Menu page.
Step 1 Enter a Course Content area through the Course Menu (not through the Course Control Panel.)
Step 2 Click the Edit View link in the upper right corner. The Edit View link appears on every content list page within Content Areas of a course.
Select Edit View to open and edit the Content Area or Content Item.
A Display View link appears in the top right corner of the Control Panel view of the content page. Select Display View to go back to the course display view of the same content page.
Instructors may use Edit View and Display View to toggle back and forth between the edit view and display view of course content.
