This refers to Moodle 3.11 from August 2022 onwards
The Book activity creates a linear series of web pages, very much like an "online book".
"The Book makes it easy to create multi-page resources with a book-like format. ...Previously created websites can be imported directly into the Book module. Books can be printed entirely or by chapter. The Book module allows you to have main chapters and sub chapters, but it goes no deeper. In other words, sub chapters cannot have their own sub chapters. The book module is not interactive. You can, however, link to choices, forums etc., from within a book. And you can include multimedia objects like Flash movies in your book."

3. To select the Book resource, click on the word 'Book' and you will go straight to the 'Adding a new Book' screen
2. Choose the 'Chapter formatting' you would like. There are four choices, 'None'/'Numbers'/'Bullets'/'Indented'. If you wish to add "Custom titles", ensure it is ticked
3. Choose the 'Style of navigation' you would like. There are three choices: 'Images', 'TOC only' (table of contents), 'Text'
4. Click 'Save and display' which will take you into the book to create the first chapter
After the first chapter of a book has been created, entering the book will automatically create a Table of Contents block at the top of the right hand column. You still need to be in editing mode to add/amend further chapters.
Note: There are Chapters and Sub-chapters, but no further levels, so think of it as Pages and Sub-pages.
2. Enter a "Chapter title". If you wish it to be a sub-page, tick "Subchapter"
3. Enter the "Content" for the page in the book, formatting and adding graphics, media etc.
4. Click on the 'Save changes' buttons to view the page you have created
5. When you have finished, click on the 'Turn editing off' button 
which is on the top-right corner of your Moodle page
3. Alternatively Edit Settings as normal to edit the overarching settings for the Book (rather than its contents)
4. When you have finished, click on the 'Turn editing off' button 
which is on the top-right corner of your Moodle page
When it comes to printing a book, you have two options. You can either print the whole book or print a single chapter of the book.
3. This will open a new window which will preview your book. If you are happy, select the Print book link in the top right of the window
4. This will open the print options from your PC. Adjust the print settings as appropriate and click 'Print'
3. When you have found the chapter you want to print, click on the 'Cogwheel' and select ‘Print this chapter’
4. This will open a new window which will preview your chapter. When you are happy, click on the Print this chapter link in the top right
5. This will open the print options from your PC. Adjust the print settings as appropriate and click 'Print'
