Subsections are regular sections that can be added anywhere in your course. They allow instructors to break large weekly or topic sections into smaller, structured parts — reducing scrolling, improving clarity, and keeping activities grouped by purpose. This makes it easier for students to navigate and locate content. This article shows you how to add subsections to your course.
1. From your course, turn Edit mode on.
2. Find the location where you want to add a subsection and hover your mouse on the dotted line. Click the + button and click Subsection.
3. Click the pencil icon to the right of the name to rename the subsection.
4. Drag any content into the new subsection from other sections of your course, or click the Add activity or resource button to start adding content.
