The Dashboard page of your Lumen textbook is a good way to see what content is in the book. However, it offers limited functions for manipulating content.<\/p>\n

The “Organize” page is a much better starting point for making changes to the structure of your book. You’ll ultimately spend more time on the Organize page than on the Dashboard page.<\/p>\n

To access the Organize page<\/h2>\n

Pages & Parts<\/h2>\n

Lumen’s platform distinguishes between Pages and Parts. “Parts” equate to chapters, or buckets of content (i.e., modules or units). Pages are single bits of content that live inside of these Parts.<\/p>\n

To Rearrange Existing PAGES<\/h3>\n

Drag & Drop to reorder existing pages<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0 If something currently is living in the first part, and you want to move it later in the same part, or even down to the last part of the book, just grab it with your mouse and drag it to its new home.<\/p>\n

To Rearrange Existing PARTS<\/h3>\n

To move existing parts<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0(chapters) into a different order, you’ll need to use the “Edit” option at the top of the Part you’d like to move.<\/p>\n

From there, you have access to alter the name of the part (chapter) and other features. By default, the Parts will be given a sequential order.\u00a0 To reorder, adjust the order number under the “Attributes” section.\"Screenshot<\/p>\n

Or, if you know you’re not going to use a particular part at all, you can choose to make it invisible, which will make it disappear from public view. (When you’re logged in, you’ll still see it on the website table of contents and edit screens, but students and other viewers won’t know it’s there.)<\/p>\n

To hide everything in a part, you’ll also need to mark each page in that part as private on the organize screen.<\/p><\/div>\n

We recommend skipping some numbers between the different parts.\u00a0 So, instead of Part 1 being numbered 1, and Part 2 being numbered 2, we recommend numbering Part 1 as number 5, Part 2 as number 10 in the Order screen, and so forth.<\/p>\n

The skipped numbers won’t appear or take up space in your book.\u00a0 It will make it easier, though, if you decide later to add in another part.\u00a0 Assign the new part a number in the gap, and then you won’t have to renumber every other part in the book to adjust.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"menu_order":5,"template":"","meta":{"_candela_citation":"[]","CANDELA_OUTCOMES_GUID":"","pb_show_title":"on","pb_short_title":"","pb_subtitle":"","pb_authors":[],"pb_section_license":""},"chapter-type":[],"contributor":[],"license":[],"class_list":["post-51","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"part":23,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.lumenlearning.com\/suny-oerguide\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/51","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.lumenlearning.com\/suny-oerguide\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.lumenlearning.com\/suny-oerguide\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.lumenlearning.com\/suny-oerguide\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/19"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/courses.lumenlearning.com\/suny-oerguide\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/51\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":439,"href":"https:\/\/courses.lumenlearning.com\/suny-oerguide\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/51\/revisions\/439"}],"part":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.lumenlearning.com\/suny-oerguide\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/parts\/23"}],"metadata":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.lumenlearning.com\/suny-oerguide\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/51\/metadata\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.lumenlearning.com\/suny-oerguide\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"chapter-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.lumenlearning.com\/suny-oerguide\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapter-type?post=51"},{"taxonomy":"contributor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.lumenlearning.com\/suny-oerguide\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/contributor?post=51"},{"taxonomy":"license","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.lumenlearning.com\/suny-oerguide\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/license?post=51"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
