# Introductory text Just before looking at any particular course tool, note that it is possible to present a welcome message to a course. Click on the *Add an* *introduction text* icon ![](/files/-LH9D6mS_19DZ7iRaGrM) below the *Learner View* button. A text editor appears... ![](/files/-LH9D6mcPa6jY_by9ncM) *Illustration: Course homepage – Introduction text* This feature, although very simple to use, is also very powerful: it can simply present a few words of introduction, but it also enables you to redesign the entire course homepage simply by hiding all the course tools and writing a large introduction text/page including icons with links to the course tools' internal pages. To do this : * hide all the tools (by clicking the eye, which must be *closed* and grayed) * right-click on any tool to which the learners need access * select *Copy link location* * left-click on *Add an introduction text* * place an introduction text (use the table tool ![](/files/-LH9D6muLp4J6dQKwhKm), or an external HTML-editing tool if you wish, to position elements precisely) and a new icon/graphic representing the tool requiring access * click an icon to select it then click the link creation tool ![](/files/-LH9D6n4bDVacNj9WRIC) * « paste » the link that was saved a few steps before (CTRL-V should work just fine) * click the *save intro text* button You now have an entirely personalized course homepage! The only remaining other visual elements are the header and the footer. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
