Packages, theory pages, and subchapters are always in the same Author group as the chapter in which they are positioned. This means that changing the Author group of a chapter moves all the underlying items to the new Author group as well.

Moving a (sub)chapter to another Author group

Option 1

To move a chapter, search for it under Author-Chapter, and click on the arrow symbol.

In the next window, choose the Author group where you want to move the Chapter. Optionally, tick the box "Also move the exercises".

Confirm the move by clicking on "Move to Author Group" button.

Option 2

There is another way of moving a Chapter to a different Author group. This method requires a few more clicks, so we recommend using Option 1.

In the tab Chapter in the Author environment, click on the pencil.

In the Edit chapter, click on the General tab. You can move the chapter to another Author group in the drop-down menu next to the label Author Group.

Moving a package to a different Author group

In Author-Packages, look for your package and click on the arrow symbol.

In the next window you will be able to choose the Author group where you wish to move the package.

Moving an exam to a different Author group

Moving the exam works the same as moving a package. There is the same arrow symbol you can click on in the general overview.

Moving an exercise to a different Author group

Exercises are not dependent on a specific structure. You can move these to a new Author group regardless of the (sub)chapter it originally belongs to. They don't have a fixed single position in the hierarchy, and can be in multiple packages (and therefore chapters) at once. This means that exercises which are created in different Author groups can still be in one package in one Author group. Moving an exercise works the same as moving a chapter, starting on the tab Exercises in the Author environment.

💡Tip: Would you like to move multiple exercises at the same time? You can move the package into another Author group.

When you create a new chapter or exercise, and are able to create content in more than one Author group, make sure to determine in which Author group you want to create it!
