Course Editing: In-Depth Using the Page Editor
Working with Text in the Course Editor
Undo/Redo Changes
The first button will allow you to undo a change you just made. (You can also use the Ctrl + Z shortcut.)
The second button will allow you to redo a change you have just undone. (You can also use the Ctrl + Y shortcut.)
These serve the same function as the undo/redo commands in common text editors such as Microsoft Word.
Font and Text Options
Various font and text options are found under Font Family and Font Sizes menus, as well as by clicking Text color and Background color. Text can be formatted using the mouse to select text, and then clicking any of the font and text options.
Font Family: Clicking the Font Family menu will open a list of available fonts to use on the page.
Font Sizes: Clicking the Font Sizes menu will open a list of available font sizes for your text.
Text color: Clicking the Text color button will apply a color to the selected text. To select a color, click the down arrow next to the icon, and choose a color. Alternatively, you can click Custom to open an RGB pallet with sliders and number inputs, to choose a custom color.
