2. Understanding Sub-Chapters

  • Definition: A Sub-Chapter is the lowest level of book aggregation.
  • Purpose: Groups multiple pages together for modular content organization.
  • Usage:
  • Pages can be attached to any Sub-Chapter, Chapter, or Book.

5. Best Practices

  • Use modular structure: Sub-Chapters should contain meaningful, reusable content.

  • Limit hierarchy levels: Avoid excessive chaining of Sub-Chapters (maximum 2-3 levels recommended).
  • Verify before publishing: Keep Status as Draft until content is finalized.
