Let's now continue on to the next step of adding our two subcollections.

Add a new subcollection (section)

A subcollection is a grouping of related modules within a collection. Depending on the nature of your collection, you might think of a subcollection as a section , chapter , part , folder , division , etc. Each subcollection has a heading that identifies its contents to the viewers. You may place subcollections within other subcollections, as deeply nested as desired.

Instructions for adding a subcollection

In our example, our collection is structured by two "Parts" that follow the introductory module. To add these, we start by hovering the mouse over the collection's title. To the right, there is a link reading "Add subcollections":

Action links appear when hovering over collection title
Hover over the collection title to see the option to "Add subcollections" to the collection.

Click the "Add subcollections" link. A pop-up appears with a text box. Enter the titles of the subcollections you want in your collection, one per line . Click the "Add new subcollections" button:

Enter subcollection titles in the pop-up
A pop-up appears in which you can add the titles of your collection's subcollections.

Your subcollections will now appear in the composer below any other modules or subcollections you've already added at that level. From there, you can hover your mouse over each subcollection and find a list of actions to take at the subcollection level, such as adding modules, adding nested subcollections, or editing the subcollection's title.

Subcollections are added to the composer below previously added content
Your subcollections are now in the composer and modules can be added inside them.

Let's add some more modules to each of these subcollections so that your collection structure now looks like this:

Before things are done, we have some changes we want to make. Let's continue.

Rearrange contents

Since the collection composer adds modules and subcollections to the bottom of the collection or subcollection where you added them, you will sometimes need to rearrange the modules and subcollections to get them in the desired ordered. To do this, simply click down on the title of the item you want to move, drag it over to the desired location, and click up to drop it in that location. A dotted line appears where there is a valid location to drop the item.

Click down on a title to move it
Click down on the title of a module or subcollection to move it.
Drag item over to desired location (indicated by new dotted line) and drop it down.
Drag the module or subcollection over to its new location. A dotted line appears where there is a valid location to drop the item.
Rearrangements don't have to be strictly vertical movements of modules, as shown in the example. You can move both modules and subcollections, and you can move them up, down, into subcollections, or out of subcollections.

The new structure is automatically saved when the item is dropped in place.

Collapsing/expanding subcollections for easier editing

If your collection contains a lot of modules and subcollections, it can become cumbersome to edit (especially for dragging and dropping). If this is the case in your collection, you can collapse the subcollection by clicking on the arrow to the left of the subcollection title.

Click the arrow icon next a subcollection's titles to toggle it open or closed

Subcollections without any titles do not have the expand/collapse toggles next to their title.

In biology, a pathogen (Greek: πάθος pathos "suffering", "passion" and -γενής -genēs "producer of") in the oldest and broadest sense, is anything that can produce disease. A pathogen may also be referred to as an infectious agent, or simply a germ. The term pathogen came into use in the 1880s.[1][2
