Delete the First Page of a Section
To delete the first page of a section, first, you’ll need to change the first page of the section to a page other than the one you want to delete. To do so, take the following steps:
- Select Table of Contents in the lesson outline displayed on the left. The headings for the Table of Contents will then appear to the right.
- For the section where you want to delete the first page, Highlight the entire section heading.
- Select the Link icon in the formatting toolbar at the top of the page.
- Ensure the Protocol dropdown option is set to <other>.
- Under URL, type the exact name of the page that you want to be the new first page of the section.
- Select OK. Select Update Table of Contents.
- Tip: At this stage, the page is still available for use when building your lesson; it is just not being linked to and therefore won’t appear in the lesson. To permanently delete the page, find the page in the Alphabetical Index and follow the instructions above to delete it.
- Adjust the Navigation elsewhere as needed using the Next Page settings. See the section on how to Reorder Pages for more information.

Reorder Pages
Change the Next page setting in the Navigation section to the page you want to follow the current page.
Tip: Be sure to adjust the navigation on any other pages affected by an initial navigation change.
Example: A lesson has the following 3 pages in a section:
Page 1
Page 2
Page 3
By default, Page 1 navigates to Page 2, Page 2 navigates to Page 3, and Page 3 navigates back to the Table of Contents (Contents) as it lands at the end of the section.
You want to reorder the pages in the following order:
Page 1
Page 3
Page 2
To make this change you would need to:
- Open Page 1 and change the Navigation setting to Page 3.
- Open Page 3 and change the Navigation setting to Page 2.
- Open Page 2 and change the Navigation setting to Contents.
Tip: You may choose to Disable Next Page in the Navigation section. Doing so would require a correct answer before the student could advance to the next page. The student would also be able to leave the page if a branching destination is set for a particular answer choice. See the section on creating branches below.

Create Page Branches
You can set different page destinations based on the student’s answer choice by adjusting the Branching destinations tied to a particular answer choice.
For example, a Right answer for “Question 1” can proceed to “Question 2,” whereas a Wrong answer for “Question 1” can take you to a different page, such as “Question 1 Follow-up,” for more discussion.
- Change Show Feedback in the drop-down menu next to a question choice to either Show feedback then branch or Branch immediately.
-
- If you select Show feedback then branch, the feedback box will open (upon that choice being selected) and the student will advance to the next page after selecting Next.
- If you select Branch immediately, upon choosing that particular answer choice, the student will go directly from answering the question to the next page without seeing any feedback or having to select Next.
2. Change the Branching destination, i.e., pick what you want the next page to be for students who select that particular choice.
-
- Tip: Branching destinations will override the main Next page settings. Where no Branching destination is set, the Next page setting controls.
