The Book Feature permits content creators to organize content into ordered sections, similar to the chapters and pages of physical books.
Books have a built-in hierarchical navigation, which means that they can be organized to be read in a particular order. Each book page contains a link to its parent page, as well as to the previous and next pages in the order specified.
On the Administration bar, select Add Content.
Select Book Page.
Enter the title of the book in the "Title" field.
If you have book categories defined, select the appropriate one. For more information, please see the Assigning a Category to a book section.
Use the Drupal Text (WYSIWYG) Editor to fill the book with your desired content.
If you want to add any files (PDF, Docs, Images) to be attached to the book page and available for download by the user, you can do so by attaching them using the "File Attachment" option. For more iinformation, please see the Attaching a File to a Book section.
Enter any tags or keywords that help categorize and organize your book page.
Under Book outline, select the book you want to publish the page to. If this is the first page of a new book, select the create a new book and enter the appropriate information.
Under Book Outline, you have two options as to where to place the new Book Page:
Create a new book: This will create a new Book and make the current page the "Top Level Page".
pick from previously created books: This will add the book page to an already existing book. You have the ability to choose the location of the new page within the book. If adding a book page to a specific book, it is important to add a Parent item in the book and select the appropriate "weight" for the page.
If you have the proper authority to publish right away, ensure that the Published checkbox is checked under "Publishing options".
