Inserting a new article in an existing chapter

Note: this explanation uses the creation of this article as the example how to do this action.

Step 1 - Create new article

To add the new article "Safe practice" to the end of the chapter "Adding chapters and sections", select that item in the Table of Contents column (marker 1), pop the context menu up and select "+ New Article" menu item (marker 2).

Renaming chapters or articles

This is very simple - do not ever do that. You will most likely lose the whole book contents, unless you are really well informed about the structure of a GitBook repository. The best practice is to think long and hard before choosing a name.

If you nevertheless find yourself in the need to change a name of an article, here is the safe process:

  1. Copy the complete source of that article into a local editor (notepad would do quite well)

  2. Delete the article from the Table of Contents (not the Files Tree).

  3. Create this same article from scratch (as described above) and paste the saves content into it.

If you find yourself in the need to rename a chapter - talk to me, so I can teach you and in return, add this information here
