2 Operation

1. Main Menu > eCourse Management > Book Management > Move Chapter from one Book to another Book >
2. Choose the Book which has the chapter you want to move.
3. On the following screen,
   1. Select the chapter to move
   2. Select the book to move the chapter into
   3. Decide if you want to move the page views to the new book (see considerations below)

3 Considerations

If you've had a chapter in a book for a while, people will look at the pages. These pages are associated with Book1. You have two choices. You can keep the page views and move them into Book2. Alternately you can delete these page views.

If you have linked a page in the chapter being moved, the link will no longer work. i.e. Book 1-1-1. Gets moved to book 2. i.e. Book 2-1-1. If you have links to 1-1-1 this link will no longer work.
