Add subpages to a Lessons page

Instructors can add subpages to a top-level Lessons page. A top-level Lessons page is a Lessons page that is listed by name in the Tool Menu. Subpages are connected to top-level Lessons pages by a link or a button.

Note: Subpages are added to whatever page the Add Content / Add Subpage function is accessed from. To add multiple subpages to a top-level page, make sure you access the Add Content / Add Subpage function from the original top-level Lessons page and not from a subpage.

Go to Lessons

Click on the Lessons tool in the Tool Menu to display the page.

Note: The default or blank Lessons page contains text and images that explain the basic functionality of the Lessons tool.

Click Add Content, then Add Subpage

From the Add Content drop-down menu, select Add Subpage.

Enter the subpage information

1. Enter a title.
2. Click the Choose Existing Page link to select from the index of existing pages in the site (Optional)
3. Select the Next page option if desired.
4. Select the Show as button rather than link option if desired.
5. Click Create.

View subpage

The new subpage contains the default Lessons page information.

Clicking on the Back button takes the user back to the top-level page.
