A book starts with a title and a description, and grows from there. You add Parts first, then Chapters inside Parts, then Sections inside Chapters. Every level is optional on the way down — a book with one Part and one Chapter is fine.
Step by step
- From the channel's dashboard, click Books in the left nav, then New Book.
- Enter a Title and a Description. The description shows up in the books list.
- Save. The book is created with an empty hierarchy.
- On the book's edit page, click Add Part. Give the Part a title and save.
- Inside the Part, click Add Chapter. Title it and save.
- Inside the Chapter, click Add Section. This is where the writing actually happens.
- Open a Section to get the full editor. Write, save, repeat.
Where content lives
Every level — Part, Chapter, and Section — has its own Content field and its own editor. Use them like this:
- Part-level content — optional. A short intro that frames the Chapters inside.
- Chapter-level content — optional. An overview paragraph before the Sections begin.
- Section-level content — this is where the bulk of the writing goes. Treat each Section like a "page" of the book.
You don't have to fill in content at every level. Many books only have content on Sections, with Parts and Chapters acting as pure structural containers.
Required vs. optional
- Required: a Title on the book itself. Everything else is optional on day one.
- Optional: Description, Parts, Chapters, Sections, any level's content field, AI reference data.
A freshly created book with just a title is a perfectly valid starting point — the structure grows as you write.
Deleting
Each level has its own delete action. Deleting a Part removes every Chapter and Section under it. Deleting a Chapter removes every Section under it. Books are deleted from the Books list. There is no undo — if you're unsure, export to Word first (see Exporting to Word).
