What can you do on this screen?
Elements are the major headings for your content. There are predefined elements for the Front Matter of the instructor and participant guides. You can create elements for the Overview and Summary folders underneath the Terminal Objective Level and underneath the Enabling Objective Level.

•Resequence the pages, paragraphs, notes, cautions, or warnings underneath the element.
•Select Show History to review the changes made to the element.
•Paste/Append the contents (pages, paragraphs, notes, cautions, or warnings) of a copied element at the end of any existing content.

You can also copy all test items from a Practice or Assessment element at a time, by copying the element and then selecting Paste/Append on another Practice or Assessment element. The Performance Job Sheet test item cannot be pasted into a Practice element, as that type of test item can only be copied/pasted to another Assessment element.
•Delete a selected element. Once you've selected OK to the confirmation message, an Undo button displays on the bottom left of the screen that allows you to revert the deletion.
Note: You cannot delete a required element under the Enabling Objective Level.
