Create a Subsection#
To create a new subsection, follow these steps.
In the outline, expand the section in which you want to create a new subsection.
Select New Subsection at the bottom of the expanded section. A new subsection appears at the end of the section, with the subsection name selected.
Enter the name for the new subsection. A descriptive name can help learners locate content in the course. It can also help you select content when you analyze performance in reporting and analytics systems.
Add units to the new subsection as needed.
It is recommended that you test course content as you create new subsections.
Change a Subsection Name#
To change a subsection name, select the Edit icon next to the subsection name. The name field becomes editable. Enter the new name, and then tab or click outside of the field to save the name.
Set a Subsection Release Date#
To set the subsection release date, follow these steps.
Select the Configure icon in the subsection box.
The subsection settings dialog box opens.
On the Basic tab, under Release Date and Time, enter the release date and time for the subsection.
Note
The time that you set is in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). You might want to verify that you have specified the time that you intend by using a time zone converter such as Time and Date Time Zone Converter.
Learners who have specified a time zone in their account settings see course dates and times converted to their specified time zone. Learners who have not specified a time zone in their account settings see course dates and times on their dashboards, in the body of the course, and on their Progress pages in the time zone that their browsers specify. Learners see other course dates and times in UTC.
Select Save.
For more information, see Release Dates.
Publish All Units in a Subsection#
To publish all new and changed units in a subsection, select the Publish icon in the box for the subsection.
Note
The Publish icon only appears when there is new or changed content within the subsection.
See Unit Publishing Statuses for information about statuses and visibility to learners.
Delete a Subsection#
When you delete a subsection, you delete all units within the subsection.
Warning
You cannot restore course content after you delete it. To ensure you do not delete content that you might need later, you can move any unused content to a section in your course that you set to never release.
To delete a subsection, follow these steps.
In the subsection that you want to delete, select the Delete icon.
When the confirmation prompt appears, select Yes, delete this subsection.
