2 Main body – Parts

Books in Pressbooks are organized as “chapters” and ‘parts.”  A “chapter” is a web page in which content is added.  A “part” is a holding section for chapters.

The Pressbooks’ designation of “chapters” and “parts” may be confusing.  We recommend that you use “parts” as chapters and “chapters” as sections within a chapter.

You can add, edit, reorganize and delete parts.
