Add a Summary to a Week or Topic Section

A summary is a heading and/or other text that you add to the top of a week or topic section. An example of a summary for a topic section is shown below.

Note: Week or topic summaries should be short so that your course page doesn't become too long. If you want to add more than a sentence or two to the summary, then consider adding a resource to the week or topic instead. (For example, you could create a page called "About This Week" or "About This Topic" and make it the first item in the section.)

To add a week or topic summary:

1. Click on the Turn editing on button.

2. Click on the Edit summary tool, shown circled below, for the desired week or topic.

3. Enter and format the summary.
    
4. Click on the Save changes button.

1. Click on the Turn editing on button.

2. Click on the desired Add a resource... down arrow and select Insert a label.

3. Enter and format the label.
    
4. Click on the Save changes and return to course button.
