Authorization Course Info Box Template
How to create a new authorization info box
Step 1:
Create a new child page under Authorizations using the title of the authorization course. Do not stick "auth" or "authorization" in the name. Note that a single authorization course page is all that's needed to cover multiple tools. To make a new page quickly, type in the name at the end of the URL to the Authorizations...

- Create the page.
Step 2:

- If you want to use the code editor, scroll down to find what to copy and paste.
Step 3:
