Let's now continue on to the next step of adding our two subcollections.
Add a new subcollection (section)
A subcollection is a grouping of related modules within a collection. Depending on the nature of your collection, you might think of a subcollection as a section , chapter , part , folder , division , etc. Each subcollection has a heading that identifies its contents to the viewers. You may place subcollections within other subcollections, as deeply nested as desired.
Instructions for adding a subcollection
In our example, our collection is structured by two "Parts" that follow the introductory module. To add these, we start by hovering the mouse over the collection's title. To the right, there is a link reading "Add subcollections":
Click the "Add subcollections" link. A pop-up appears with a text box. Enter the titles of the subcollections you want in your collection, one per line . Click the "Add new subcollections" button:
Your subcollections will now appear in the composer below any other modules or subcollections you've already added at that level. From there, you can hover your mouse over each subcollection and find a list of actions to take at the subcollection level, such as adding modules, adding nested subcollections, or editing the subcollection's title.
Let's add some more modules to each of these subcollections so that your collection structure now looks like this:
Before things are done, we have some changes we want to make. Let's continue.
Rearrange contents
Since the collection composer adds modules and subcollections to the bottom of the collection or subcollection where you added them, you will sometimes need to rearrange the modules and subcollections to get them in the desired ordered. To do this, simply click down on the title of the item you want to move, drag it over to the desired location, and click up to drop it in that location. A dotted line appears where there is a valid location to drop the item.
The new structure is automatically saved when the item is dropped in place.
Collapsing/expanding subcollections for easier editing
If your collection contains a lot of modules and subcollections, it can become cumbersome to edit (especially for dragging and dropping). If this is the case in your collection, you can collapse the subcollection by clicking on the arrow to the left of the subcollection title.
