When you are building the content of units, you might want to edit the templated content which is provided in the module shell. You can remove any of these (if unwanted) like this:

View of the units menu, showing the drop down menu which is revealed by clicking the three vertical dots to right of content within a unit (in this case, a page called 'Your module tutor(s)'). Within this menu, the 'remove' option is highlighted.

Select the page you want to delete, click on the three dots, go to remove, press okay and you can see that that page has now been deleted.

To add content, select the plus button and then select create page. Type your page name it and then click add item. You can see the new page has been added.

The default item to add is a page which can then be edited (we will see how in section 2). You may also want to add a quiz or a discussion - we'll cover these later. You will normally want to add a 'new page' and will then be prompted to give it a name and choose whether to indent it (more on indenting later).

You can change the order of units, or content within units by clicking on the the two rows of four vertical dots on the left side and dragging into position.

Within a units menu, the highlight shows eight dots, arranged into two vertical rows of four. This appears to the left of the unit content.
