\label{Docs Check Resource Versions}
Click the \fbox{Check/Set Resource Versions} button at the top of
the DOCS Screen to see which resources have been updated over a specific
time frame. By default, when you import a resource, you always get
the latest resource and that resource will update to the latest if
the author publishes changes. Using the Check/Resource Version tool,
you can lock all of your resources in their current version. You can
also view which changes have occured in a particular time frame by
choosing a particular time frame from the drop-down box and hitting
the \fbox{Display} button. From here, you can choose to lock one
or more individual resources in place. It is recommended to leave
the default setting to keep all resources up-to-date because most
resource changes happen to be improvements by the author.

\label{Docs Dump Course Docs}
If you have authoring privileges in LON-CAPA you will get a button
to \fbox{Dump Course Docs to Construction Space}. This feature will
let you copy the material you created with the tools in the DOCS Screen
to your construction space. You can then add this material to the
LON-CAPA resource pool by publishing it. \emph{Dumping problems created
with the Simple Problem Editor currently is not supported. The feature
will be supported in the future and you will eventually be able to
copy these problems to constructions space.}

\fbox{Store Changes} button when you are done. Students will see

give to you, such as a Word document.

\label{Docs Option Response}
The Option Response question type is a matching question. Instead
of students selecting one true foil from a list, each foil has a drop-down
box in front of it where students have to select the correct option
for each statement. The editing of this problem type is very similar
to editing the 1 out of N multiple choice problem. Enter your question
text into the appropriate location. In the add a new option text,
add one of the drop-down box options and then click the \fbox{Store Changes}
button. Repeat adding options until you have added all that you want
to use. If you make a mistake, you can select an option that you want
to delete and then click \fbox{Store Changes} to save your changes.
After adding all of your options, type in the text for each foil and
assign each option the correct value and location. You can add an
optional hint if you want. When you are done editing, click the \fbox{Store Changes} Store
Changes button and close the window by selecting the {}``x'' in
the upper right-hand corner of the window.

+++ loncom/html/adm/help/tex/Docs_Radio.tex
\label{Docs Radio}
This is a question where students can choose only one correct answer
out of a selection. Each selection choice is called a foil because
the majority of the selection choices try to foil the student. Only
one foil is correct. LON-CAPA will randomly display the foils to your
students. If you choose to set the max number of displayed foils to
4 but only have 6 foils then LON-CAPA will choose one of the True
foils and fill in the rest of the foils with false foils up to a maximum
of four foils. To edit the 1 out of N multiple choice problem, enter
your question text into the appropriate box. Then enter one foil statement
in each foil box that you would like to use. You do not have to use
all 10 of the foil boxes. For each foil that you do use, you will
need to assign it a value of True or False. You can assign a foil
a location if you choose. For example, the foils will apear in random
order for your students. If you have a foil statement of {}``None
of the above'' then you will want this statement to always appear
at the bottom. After entering all of the correct foil text, you can
add an optional hint. The hint text will appear under your student's
view of the problem after getting one incorrect submission. The hint
text will remain displayed on your students view of the problem after
it is correct for study purposes. At any point in the editing process,
you can choose to store your changes. Each time you click \fbox{Store Changes}
, the current view of your problem will appear in box at the top of
the edit screen. When you are done editing, click the \fbox{Store Changes}
button and close the window by selecting the {}``x'' in the upper
right-hand corner of the window.

a word, but a number or short phrase will work as well. You can choose
to have your string response be case senstive or case insensitive.

have a little bubble like the ones used in comic strips next to the
resource name. Resources that have a message from an individual student
about them will have a little envelope next to the resource name.
Clicking on this icon will display the message. Clicking on any resource
on the Navigation Screen will immediately jump you ahead to that resource.
Clicking on a folder icon in the Navigation Screen will open up the
folder and show a list of all the resources inside that folder.
