# Add chapters to a book activity

When [creating a book activity](/19/docs/add-a-course-activity-or-resource), you may want to add more chapters and subchapters (after the initial chapter has been added). To add a chapter follow these steps:

1. Click the **Add chapter** icon (![](data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAABkAAAAXCAIAAABxgXNEAAAAA3NCSVQICAjb4U/gAAAAkElEQVQ4jWP8//8/A5UACz7J1ydr526e+hnKE+NVmpyc5CqKUzkTHqNeXTkBN4iBgeHV53tLrrzGox6fWaSCUbMGzizG////o6UjUgE83TExYKQjUgE83Q3W8KK2WWI6Ftm85BshxqsUoyPKAI1HHODV/okae1Ays69L/kJHnAXFYA6vUbOoYxZauoOnI1wAALJxMyXCOgTzAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC)) in the table of contents.
2. Give the chapter a title and add your content.
3. For subchapters ensure the **Subchapter** box is ticked.
4. Click **Save changes**.

Once you have added a chapter you can move it using the up/down arrows (![](data:image/png;base64,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)/![](data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAABcAAAAfCAIAAACDG8GaAAAAA3NCSVQICAjb4U/gAAABMElEQVRIiWP8//8/A8WAiXIjhqUpLLgkft7anLb05OY/EFWiXdHpKWocpLrl3pyVMCMYGBj+vC5buf0SbrfgMuXHjx9oAt9/km4KaWCYmvLrx8dfpGtF0sXy8ODUgF3PHzKwxLhlT7IXJdIENF1M7rueP2RgYGD4s2TXxLT9r4kyYv9UNF1Mr5Ck1+whbNDD/VPd9zxH1bUePXTxG4RpBASwiDEwoImu2TORgcFBHpsRsdiMCHEJZHywbwpW44kEIS75sxxFmeQds3e6SIpRYAQDJL2QZxDcCAZ42iXVIGQjGJBzAPEGoRnBgJaPiDEI0wh0UwgahNUILKbgMQiXEdhNwWoQHiNwmgI1yE1SnoGBgYElxg2fEQwMDIwE6ulfPz4ycPCz4VNChCnEAeqUmAAHhJOiaJmXUQAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==)).
