What are Sections and Lessons in the Table of Contents?

Sections and Lessons are in the Table of Contents feature in a Space. They’re there to help you to organize your content whether it’s a resource library, Course or more!
You can fully rename the feature, learn more about how to manage features in a Space here.

Sections

You have three content types to work with:
Sections allow you to break up your content and organize similar materials in one place. Each Section serves as the mini overview for a specific part, and each section contains Lessons. You can create up to 500 Sections and/or Lessons within each Table of Contents feature you create in your Mighty Network.

Add a Section

When you first enable the feature, you'll see an empty Table of Contents page with the option to Add an Overview, Lesson, and/or Section.
To add a Section, go to Table of Contents > Add Section.
After you save a Section, you'll have the option to:
  • Add and/or Re-order Lessons
  • Make it Hidden or Visible
  • Add a Rule for Unlocking (based on finishing the Overview or another Lesson)
  • Add a Completion button
  • Edit the Thumbnail
  • Choose to Preview to visitors

The Instructor(s) listed in a Section reflect the Instructor(s) of the Lesson(s) within that specific Section. The Instructors listed in the Overview reflect the Instructors of all Lessons within the Table of Contents.

You'll get to these options from Manage Section Settings for that Section.

Add a Section to an Existing Table of Contents

Once you have Lessons and Sections, you'll continue to add new Lessons and Sections for the Table of Contents at the bottom of the page:
