Moving Objects in the Book's Contents

While the book is in Edit Mode the Book's contents can be reorganized by dragging objects to a new location. You can move individual objects, or a multi select a group of objects and move the entire group. Note: Hold down the CTRL key when you select and move the objects). Where you drop an object determines the position in the structure:

  • Drag the object over the book in the structure so its description is highlighted. Drop the object. The object will be added as the last item in the book structure.

    Add topic at first level in book structure

  • Drag the object over a topic or another object in the structure so its description is highlighted. Drop the object. The new object is added as a child of the highlighted object, and demoted to the next level.

    Dropping an object as a parent node

  • Drag the object between two topics or objects in the structure and a solid line appears. Drop the object. The new object is added between the objects above and below the line.

    Dropping an object between objects

Tip: When you drop a topic into the Book's contents, the new topic is added at the same level as the topic above the line. Collapse a topic group if you want to drop a new topic at the same level as the parent. Expand the group if you want to drop the topic as a child.
