How do I add subpages to a Lessons page?

Updated on

Instructors can add subpages to a top-level Lessons page. A top-level Lessons page is a Lessons page that is listed by name in the Tool Menu. Subpages are connected to top-level Lessons pages by a link or a button.

Note: Subpages are added to whatever page the Add Content/Add Subpage function is accessed from. To add multiple subpages to a top-level page, make sure you access the Add Content/Add Subpage function from the original top-level Lessons page and not from a subpage. 

Go to Lessons.
