Sections help you organize your course content by grouping your slides into the topics you want. You can create a section by clicking the plus symbol at the end of the Course Timeline and selecting the Section option in the content type menu.
You are then able to write a section title and optional description. Add different types of content from the content type menu to your section with the plus symbol. After more than one section is created, these titles appear in the outline found in the left side panel available throughout the course to move to that section.
Your section titles and descriptions will also appear for learners in the Outline of the side menu when watching the course.
Sections are collapsible to hide whatever slides are inside, only showing the icons of the types of slides in that section. You can do this by pressing the downward facing arrow next to the section you want to collapse.
4. Moving, removing, and duplicating slides

You can also undo or redo your previous actions in the Course Editor with the left and right arrows at the top-right corner.
5. Previewing your course
