Another option is to add a Label. Please see our help guide on adding labels. Labels are best for short bits of text.

- How do I upload a video to my course? or Why can't I upload a video to my course?Due to the large size of most videos, we don't recommend uploading the video directly to Cougar Courses. Large files can slow down your course, and can be difficult for students to download and view. Instead, upload the video file to YouTube or another streaming site, and then add the URL to your course. Please see our help guide on adding Youtube links on your course homepage.
- How do I delete something from the main page of my course?Underneath the item click the three dots. Then select Delete.
