Last update: September 12th, 2024<\/div>\r\nThe Pressbooks editor is where you can write, insert, and edit content within the parts, chapters, and front and back matter of your resource.\r\n\r\nTo access the editor, go to the \"Organize\" tab of your book dashboard, find the section you would like to edit, and click on the title.\r\n\r\n \r\n
See Structure the Book: Parts and Chapters<\/a> and Front and Back Matter<\/a> for how to add and organize these sections.<\/div>\r\n

Section title and permalink<\/h1>\r\nAt the top of the page will be a title field where the title of the section can be added and edited.\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\nUnderneath the title field is the permalink<\/strong>\u2014the URL or web address for that section. This link is automatically generated when you add a title for a new section. Once the link has been created, it will not change unless you edit it.\r\n\r\nYou can edit a section's permalink as follows:\r\n

1. Click the \"Edit\" button on the right side of the permalink.<\/p>\r\n\"\"\r\n

2. This action opens the permalink field where a new or revised segment can be entered.<\/p>\r\n\"\"\r\n

3. For example, \"-different-title\" can be added to the end of the permalink to better describe the section. To save the changes, click the OK button and save the page. To back out of this action, select \"Cancel\" located under the Permalink label.<\/p>\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\nOnce a permalink is created, it will not automatically update if the section title changes. As such, it is recommended, as part of a book's final review, that the author checks the permalinks of all sections to make sure they are relatively short and reflect the title of a section. Permalinks do not need to match a chapter or part title exactly.\r\n\r\nIMPORTANT<\/strong>: Changing a permalink will break all internal links to that page in a book, therefore, be sure to locate and update affected links.\r\n
