ANSWER:

Page Options: Customize Page Display

NOTE: Depending on administrator settings, this feature may not be available.  Also, be sure to appropriately size your background image.  Additionally, if your background is too "busy", it may interfere with the text on your pages.

You can add a background image to the Course Content Home screen or any content folder in the Course Content tool.

Role(s) Needed: These instructions apply to Section-level Designers.

Step 1: Click on the Build tab.

Step 2: On the Course Content Home page, or after navigating to the desired folder, select the Page Options button, then Customize Page Display

Step 3: Under Background Image, click Browse.

Step 4: In the Content Browser window, do one of the following:

• Check the box next to an image file that already exists in your files and click OK.
   
• Click My Computer to upload an image file (.jpg or .gif).

NOTE: If the My Computer icon does not appear (you may see a red X), see alternative at the end of this article for instructions.

Select a file on your computer and click Open. A status bar will show the progress of the file being uploaded, and once it has finished uploading, the Customize Page Display will appear with the name of the image and look similar to the following example:

Step 5: To force the image to "fill" the whole page, check the option: Tile the image.

Step 6: Click Apply.

The course is refreshed, and the background image is added. NOTE: This image is only applied on the content folder which you chose to customize.  Repeat this process to add this image to other course content folders. 

TIP: You can always remove the background image by selecting the Page Options button, then Customize Page Display again. Click the Remove Background Image button and then Apply.
