Users have the ability to enter content directly into the Authoring Environment, or into an exported Word document of the course. This option is beneficial for users that may be receiving content from various sources, or for those that prefer working offline.

Once you are satisfied with your course structure, you can export a Word document of the empty structure by following these steps:

1. Click the wrench icon and select “Export Course”.
2. Select the desired export option; export question or commentary pages only, or all pages.
3. Check the “Export as empty template”checkbox if you would like a template containing empty fields.
4. Click the “Export Course” button.

Once content development is completed, this document can be imported back into the Authoring Environment. Additional content editing is available after the import function is performed.

NOTE: The import will only work if every field matches exactly. Therefore pay attention to keeping all content within the fields where it can be entered on the word document export, and do not copy and paste extra fields onto the word document export. Follow the instructions succinctly. 

Once content has been entered onto the Word document, follow these steps to import the information into the Authoring Environment:

1. Click on the desired course for import.
2. Click the wrench icon  and select “Import Course”.
3. Select the file to be imported.
4. Click “Upload Course Document”.
