You can create a new document from the Library. The new document launches in the appropriate document editor in a new tab.
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.
Multi-user Considerations
Any new document that you create or link is automatically checked out to you. If you want to make a new document available to multiple authors and place the document under the Developer's version control system, you must check it in.
