Add a topic in Structure view

You can create new topics for maps in Structure view if you need to add more content.

You must have the map checked out in Map Editor and be in Structure view.

You can add a new topic to any map you can edit. New maps start empty, and you must add new topics to them.

To add a topic:

  1. In Map Editor, find the topic that you want to add the new topic after.
  2. Click the Actions menu beside it.
  3. Select one of the following to create a new topic:
    • To create a new topic at the same level, select Same Level.
    • To create a new topic one level below, select Sub Level.

    Same Level: Topics at this level are for organizing things that have parallel structure, like separate chapters in a book, or topics talking about related subjects.

    Sub Level: Topics at this level are for adding information that is under a high-level topic, such as adding related articles under a high-level introduction topic in a chapter.

  4. Enter a title for your topic.
  5. Click Next.
  6. Choose a template.
