Contents
Go to Site Info.
Select the Site Info tool from the Tool Menu of your site.
Click Manage Tools.
Select your set of tools.

Below the Selected tools you can enable MathJax for specific tools in your site by checking the box. See more information on enabling LaTeX at Add LaTeX language to my course site.

For some tools such as Lessons and Web Content, you can add multiple instances of the tool.
The Lessons tool may be used as a single tool on the Tool Menu where students click to see all Lessons, or there can be multiple Lessons tools added to the Tool Menu so that each tool is a separate Lesson. See the Lessons tool category for more information.
The Web Content tool points to any URL you enter and you may create as many of these as you want.
Click on the More Lessons Tools? or More Web Content Tools? drop-down menus to add additional instances of these tools.
Example: Multiple tool instances.
The example above shows three Lessons tools (Module 1, Module 2 and Module 3) and two Web Content tools (Sakai and Apereo).
Add Preconfigured External Tools.
Click on External Tools section to expand the list, and select from the available items as needed.
Click Continue.
Once you have made all of your tool selections, scroll down and click the Continue button to save your customizations.
Confirm tool selection
New tools added are shown in red font. Confirm that these are tools you want to add and click the Finish button. New tools are typically added to the bottom of the Tool Menu once you save your changes. See the Rearrange or rename the items in the tool menu tutorial for instructions on how to change the tool order.
