-Supplemental Course Documents are auxiliary files the course

-necessarily part of the course, such as reference material, handouts,
-ect. This is also useful for files that may not be directly viewable
-or usable in a browser, such as PowerPoint pesentations and Word
-documents. Supplemental documents differ in how the material is
-presented to the student. The student will not see the supplemental
-documents unless they click DOCS on the remote control. Manipulating
-supplemental course documents is essentially identical to main course
-documents, except that main course documents has some options that is
-not available in the supplemental documents. Specifically, you cannot
-add a \textbf{Navigate Content} page, a
-\textbf{Simple Page}, or \textbf{Bulletin Board} since those should be
-in the course sequence. Like the Main Course Documents, you can still
-add a \textbf{New Folder} (\ref{Docs_Adding_Folders}), add an
-\textbf{External Resource} (\ref{Docs_Adding_External_Resource}), add
-a \textbf{Syllabus} (\ref{Docs_Creating_From_Template}), or add your
-\textbf{My Personal Info} page (\ref{Docs_Creating_From_Template}).

+Supplemental Content are auxiliary files the Course

+(e.g., reference material, handouts, etc.).
+Some files may not be directly viewable or usable in a browser, such as PowerPoint presentations
+Word documents.
+Students access supplemental content documents by selecting the
+\textbf{Supplemental Content} tab while viewing the \textbf{Course Content}.
