-After a slot has been created, you must determine the resources that are going to be using this slot. To do this,  go back to your course document list and click on the resource, this should take you to a page that shows the resource content. Next, click on PPRM (a button on the top menu) to modify parameters for this resource.
+After a slot has been created, you must assign the `Use slot based access controls' (useslots) parameter to one or more resources and/or folders in order to use the slot. One way to do this is to display the Course Contents listing page, then open folders as necessary, and click on a particular resource to display. Next, click `Content Settings' in the Functions menu above the rendered resource.
 
-Set the opening date and the due date (if any) in the for resource column. To do this, click on the * in the in course for resource column. A pop up should appear. Enter the date you want the resource to be available and click the store link.
+Set the open date and the due date (if any). To do this, for each parameter's row, click the wrench symbol (\includegraphics[width=0.015\paperwidth]{editmap}) in the `in Course' `for Resource' column (if setting for a resource) or in the `for Enclosing Map or Folder' column, if setting for all resources in a folder. In the pop-up window enter the desired date and click the `Save' link.  Similarly, set the 'Use slot based access controls' to yes in the column: for `in Course' `for Resource' (or `for Enclosing Map or Folder'), if setting for all resources in a folder.
 
-Change the 'Use slot based access controls' for resource column parameter to 'Yes'. Change the 'Slots of availability' parameter for the course in for resource column to the slot name that you created. You may need to change the input type (the combo box at the top of the popup) to 'String Value' instead of 'default'.
+If the slot you created is an instructor-assigned slot then you will also set a value for the 'Slots of availability' parameter (`in Course' `for Resource' (or `for Enclosing Map or Folder') column, as appropriate. The value you enter will be the name of the slot you created. In the pop-up window the input type (combo box at the top of the popup) should be: `String Value'.  If more than one instructor-assigned slot will apply to to a particular resource, use : as the separator between the slot names.
