Nest Pages

Instructors can create numerous content pages to post their course materials. These pages may be layered using up to two levels of nested sub-pages, allowing content to be organize into sections. As multiple files and text can be included on each content page, nesting pages is a helpful tool that can be used to divide content into sections within a unit for clear student accessibility.

Note: When students first enter the Content section of BYU Learning Suite, all the subpages will be collapsed, displaying only the main pages. Subpages become visible by clicking on their parent page.

1. Under Content, click +Subpage located underneath the Content menu on the left hand side of the screen. A dialog window will appear.
