adding book sections to already existing books

msvarnyk

new here, so sorry if the answer is obvious, but:

how do I manually add book sections to the books that are already in the library?

Presently, you don't.

It is planned to allow this in the future, though:

thanks.
so what do people do - look for the exact ref to the chapter on the internet?

Sure, or they manually enter the data. If you have access to rich information for the book, just make a few duplicates of the item, change the type to "book section," and modify the data as needed.

msvarnyk

thanks, that works. is there also a simpler way to duplicate an item in the library rather than "finding" it again?

Right-click, Duplicate Selected Item.
