Edit Sections

To work with the sections, 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. Follow the instructions below for specific tasks.

Rename Sections

• Highlight the text of the section heading you want to change and type in the new name. (You can also backspace to delete the text, while preserving the bullet point, and then type in the new text.)
• When you change a section heading name in the Table of Contents, it is likely you will break the link to the first page within that section. This is apparent when the text turns from blue to black, or is no longer hyperlinked. Here’s how you can repair the link to the first page in a section:
  • Highlight the section heading text.
  • Select the Link icon in the formatting toolbar at the top of the page.
  • Change the Protocol dropdown option to <other>.
  • Under URL, type the exact name of the first page in this section.
• Select Update Table of Contents for the change to take effect.

Add Sections

• Place your cursor at the end of the section heading that you want to precede the new section and press Enter on your keyboard. This will create a new, empty line in the bulleted list of headings.
• Type your new section name. Then select Update Table of Contents.

Delete Sections

• In the bulleted list of section headings, Delete the text for the section heading(s) for the section(s) you want to remove.
• Select Update Table of Contents.
• You’ll notice the change take effect in the main Table of Contents on the left.

Tip: This will not remove the pages in that section from the lesson, it will simply remove them from the lesson flow. Meaning, because nothing will be linking to these pages, they will not appear in the TOC and will not appear when you run the lesson. However, you’ll notice that you can still see them in the Alphabetical Index in CALI Author. If you want to completely remove the pages, after taking the steps above to remove the section(s), go to each page and delete it.

Reorder Sections

• Select the section you want to move by highlighting the entire section heading name.
• Use CTRL-X to cut it from its current position. Place your cursor in the new position for the section and copy using CRTL-V to paste.
• Then select Update Table of Contents.

Change the First Page of a Section

Note: Use the Next Page setting in the Navigation section to simply move a page to a new section when it’s not the first page of a section. See the instructions on how to Reorder Pages.

The following steps outline how to change the first page of a section.

• Highlight the entire section heading text.
• Select the Link icon in the formatting toolbar at the top of the page.
• Change the Protocol dropdown option to <other>.
• Under URL, type the exact name of the page you want to be the first page in the section.
  • Tip: The page must already exist in order to know its name and assign it here. If this is intended to be a brand new page, you will first have to create the page under an existing section before proceeding with this step.
• Select OK. Select Update Table of Contents.
• If your new first page is coming from a different section, you’ll need to take the additional following step for the change to take effect: Change the Next Page setting (under Navigation) for the page currently linking to the page you want to move (the page before it). Then select Update Table of Contents.
• Adjust the Navigation elsewhere as needed using the Next Page settings. See the section on how to Reorder Pages for more information.
