4. When finished, click on the SAVE button.  The Content Manager pane refreshes to show the new order.

Editing Modules & Topics

Instructors can edit the Title and Short Title of each Module or Topic. They may also choose to edit the content of the first Topic option called "Create a File." This option creates an HMTL page that stays inside the D2L platform for easier access.  However, it is recommended that instructors who choose this option keep a backup copy of the text of this page in a Word or Notepad document.
