On this page, learn how to edit sections and items, use tags and notes, and add or remove collaborators.

## Edit sections

When you created your Leganto list, you selected a particular template – default, weeks, sections or modules. However, it's possible to modify the way your list is organised.

See the tabs below to learn how to add/delete, copy, move and hide sections.

- [Add or delete](#s-lib-ctab-22876239-0)
- [Copy](#s-lib-ctab-22876239-1)
- [Move](#s-lib-ctab-22876239-2)
- [Hide](#s-lib-ctab-22876239-3)

To add a new section:

1. Click *Add*, then choose *Section* from the drop-down menu.\
   You will be prompted to enter a title for the section.
2. When you have added the title, click *Add*.

You can enter a description for the section and an optional start and end date. If you would like to make this section visible for a limited period, click the *Display section during these dates only box*.

To delete a section:

1. Click *Section menu*.
2. Click *Delete section*.

It is possible to copy a section from one list and add it to another, or, to copy a section to the same list:

1. Click *Section menu* then select *Copy section*.
2. Rename the section as required.
3. From *Copy into list* on the pop up, select *This list* or choose one of your other lists from the drop-down menu.

Sections can be collapsed or expanded. To move sections, they must first be collapsed. If they are not collapsed, use the *Manage sections* toggle to collapse them. To rearrange your sections:

- Use the *Drag* button .
- Tick the box next to the section you want to move and use the *Move up* or *Move down* arrows .

To release content in your list on a specific date, you can set a start date for the section to become visible. For example, if you have only completed your list up to Week 4, you can hide the sections you are still working on.

To hide a section:

1. Go to the *Section menu and* click *Edit section*.
2. Select *Start date* and choose the relevant date from the calendar pop up – the end date is optional.
3. Tick *Display section during these dates only*.
4. Click *Save*.

return;
}
// Show the tab
jQuery('.s-lib-jqtabs a[href="' + hash + '"]').tab('show');
});

## Use tags and notes

Use tags to indicate whether items on your list are mandatory/required or optional/recommended. Tags with the mortarboard icon are visible to students.

Notes can be used to direct students to a particular chapter or set of pages. Notes can also be used to add context to a particular item.

To add a tag or a note to an item, click onthe title to expand the record:

- Add your note in the *Public note* field, or
- Click *Add tag**,* select either *Mandatory/Required* or *Optional/Recommended*, then click *Save.*

Prescribed resources

Apply the  *Prescribed* tag to resources that are essential to student learning and are directly aligned with your course learning outcomes. This tag is only visible to you and the Library staff, and it ensures the Library has an accurate picture of essential course resources.

## Add or remove collaborators

When you need additional people to work on the list with you, add them as collaborators.
