Create a course

Organise chapters

Add, rename, reorder, split, duplicate or delete a chapter, copy its share link and browse the course with the outline.

In Create a course

Chapters divide your course into stages. In the editor, you create, rename, reorder and delete them. Every change is saved automatically in the draft: your learners only see it after publication.

Before you start#

Read a chapter header#

The header shows the chapter's number and title, its number of items (slides and quiz questions) and an estimated duration. This duration is calculated from the scripts, the questions and the length of the videos.

Click the header to collapse or expand the chapter. The editor remembers, in this browser, which chapters you have collapsed.

Add a chapter#

  • Add chapter, below the last chapter, adds a chapter at the end.
  • New chapter, between two chapters, inserts one at that point.

The new chapter is empty, with a quiz question to complete. To fill it, see Understand the structure of a course.

Rename a chapter#

Click the title in the header and type the new one. A chapter that keeps its default title, "Chapter" followed by a number, is renumbered automatically when it moves.

Reorder chapters#

Grab the chapter by the dotted handle at the start of its header and drag it to its new place. As soon as you grab the handle, all chapters collapse to make dropping easier.

Split a chapter#

Below the slide after which you want to split, click Add content › Chapter. The following slides move into a new chapter, placed just after.

The chapter's quiz follows the moved slides: it moves to the new chapter. The first chapter receives an empty quiz question, which you fill in before publishing.

Duplicate, share or delete a chapter#

Click the Chapter actions button (the three dots) in the header.

The Chapter actions menu open
The Chapter actions menu open
  • Duplicate chapter: creates a full copy, slides and quiz included, just after the original.
  • Copy share link: copies a link that opens this chapter directly. The message "Chapter share link copied" confirms it. The learner must sign in and have access to the course: see Share a link to a course or chapter.
  • Delete chapter: opens a confirmation window, which offers two choices.
    • Delete marker only: the chapter disappears, but its slides and quiz questions join the previous chapter, or the next one if it is the first chapter.
    • Delete chapter and contents: the chapter, its slides and its quiz are deleted.

If only one chapter remains, only deleting the chapter and its contents is offered.
