- You can create a new document from the Library. Icons to create each document type are on the Library toolbar or under New on the File menu. The new document launches in the appropriate document editor in a new tab.
- You can also create new documents from the Outline Editor using New on the File menu. New documents created this way are saved to the Library, not linked to the outline.
- Note:
- Each document type has an icon associated with it that appears next to the document name in the Library and Outline Editor. For example, the icon for a module is a purple book and the icon for a topic is a piece of paper with a yellow text bubble.
- Module and section documents perform the same functions and contain the same document properties. Modules and sections do not inherently contain content. They are used to link documents together to create the hierarchy for an outline.
- There is no difference between a module or section document in an outline. You can create a hierarchy using all module documents, all section documents, or a combination of the two. The two document types are represented by different icons so that you can easily identify them. For instance, to visually differentiate the structure of your content, you can use modules for the highest levels in your outline and sections for sublevels.
