Once enabled, the Book Creator displays a panel that lets you add pages to your book. The panel remains visible until you disable it, allowing you to continue browsing the site and add any pages you want to include in your collection, or “book.”

Example: Book Creator interface

  • Click Remove this page from your book to remove the current page from your collection.
  • Click Disable to turn the Book Creator off. Any unsaved change will be lost.
  • Click Help to open these instructions.
  • Click Show book to set up your book.

Book Management Special Page

There is a special page that lets you:

  • Add a title and subtitle to your book.
  • Choose the output format, paper size, and other printing options.
  • Order added articles and, optionally, group them in chapters.
  • Delete articles from the collection.
  • Save your collection (only available for administrators)
