This automated content management function handles properly reordering the sequence of Modules (and their Lessons) or just Lessons and updating the overall document for you.

Step One: PREPARE

Open the Facilitator Guide or Participant Guide to be edited and verify the Modules and Lessons to be reordered

  • Go to your Table of Contents

  • Verify the names and current locations of the Modules or Lessons you need to reorder

  • Note that LeaderGuide Pro will preserve your open guidebook as is and create a new guidebook with your reordered Modules and Lessons

  Key point:

  • It is always a Best Practice to manually Save a back up copy of any guidebook you are about to edit.

Here is an example of the Modules section in a Table of Contents in a Facilitator Guide.

Imagine that you want to:

  • Move the Ice Breaker Lesson to come before the Welcome Lesson in the Introduction Module.

  • Move the Technical Requirements Module to come before the Getting Started Module.
