   • Resource
   • External Tool

9. Alternatively, click an object to view its details and choose the Select button.
10. On selecting the object, users can choose from the following options to add it in the course outline:
    • Add as Global - Global resource makes it easy to keep content up-to-date, central and reusable.
    • Add as Local - Global resource gets converted to local resource, it will not receive update.
11. Based on the options selected, the node will be successfully reused in the outline.

Note: All types of nodes can be created inside a folder, including a folder. Users can continue performing actions or work on other nodes of the Course Outline while one node action(add, delete, reuse, edit) is in process.
