# Documenting your course

Nuvolos helps you organize and document your course contents with two key features:

## The readme feature

On any folder level, you may include a file named `README.md` that will be automatically rendered as a documentation of the folder, if written in standard [markdown](https://github.com/adam-p/markdown-here/wiki/Markdown-Cheatsheet) format. The top level `README.md` is automatically rendered on the overview of your instance.

{% hint style="info" %}
You may edit the `README.md` file from the Nuvolos UI, via the text edit feature which has a WYSIWYG and a source code type editor.
{% endhint %}

1. Navigate to the space and instance of interest where the file resides.
2. Confirm that you are in the **CURRENT STATE** of the instance.
3. Locate the file you would like to edit.
4. In **Actions**, select **...** and in the dropdown, pick the **EDIT** option.

You may also embed videos from streaming providers into your readme file, creating a journal of previous lectures for students to review. This can be done by copying the **Embed** snippets provided by the standard streaming services as a link into the readme file.
