This article shows how to manage your Turtl Doc's structure using Title pages, Content pages, and Chapters. It covers everything from organizing Chapters to working with Page groups.
Content pages are nested within Title pages and form the bulk of your Turtl Doc. Chapters group a Title page and its Content pages for easier navigation and organization.
The outline
The outline displays both the Title and Content pages together.
However, it will only display the Content pages of the currently selected Chapter.
Other Chapters have a collapsed status.
You can see when a collapsed Chapter has Content pages.
To expand or collapse a Chapter, click on the Title page of the Chapter.
This icon means that you have Linear navigation enabled and is set for a Chapter.
This icon means you have the Deep reading navigation enabled and set for a Chapter.
Clicking on either icon brings you to the "Navigation settings" modal, which lets you switch between Linear and Deep reading navigation, customize the CTA button copy, and enable or disable content pages.
To enable pages: By default, newly created Chapters will be without pages, and you will need to click on "Enable pages" to create the first page. On the other hand, this option can also enable previously disabled Content pages.
To disable the Content pages: Click on the "Navigation Settings", toggle off "Enabled content pages" and click on "Save".
By expanding your Chapters, you can choose to add a "New Page" to the existing Chapter or create a "New Chapter" after the current one.
If you move your cursor in between chapters, you will see a vertical line with a "+" to add a new Chapter.
Manage Chapters
Drag and drop Chapters to reorder them.
To duplicate Chapters, click on the little window icon next to the three dots.
If you hover over a Chapter thumbnail and click on the three dots, additional options become available.
Navigation settings: Choose how readers navigate through your chapter. Learn more about navigation types.
Display rules: Set up display rules for a Chapter.
LeadGen Form: Add a LeadGen form on the first page of the Chapter. The reader will have to submit the form to be able to read the rest of the Doc.
Copy chapter: Copies the Chapter after the current Chapter. A copied Chapter can pasted into another location within the same Doc or into an entirely different Doc.
Paste chapter: Insert a copied Chapter. This option becomes available after a Chapter has been copied.
Delete chapter: Removes Chapter from the Doc.
Manage Content pages
Reorder the Content pages in your chapter by clicking and dragging the thumbnails in the Outline.
Duplicate page: Click on the small square with the dotted outline.
If you hover over a page thumbnail and click on the three dots, additional options become available.
Grid: Switch between Freeform layout or Column layout.
Background: Select a background color for your page.
Display rules: Set personalization rules for your content.
Copy page: Copies a page. A copied page can be pasted into another location within the same Chapter, Doc, or into an entirely different Doc.
Paste page: Inserts a copied page after the current page. This option becomes available after a page has been copied.
Delete page: Removes a page from the Doc.
Convert to group: Transforms a page into a page group.
Manage Page groups
Pages can be converted to page groups for easier management. This way, you can apply background color, Display rules, or move pages in bulk.
Converting pages to Page groups and vice versa
When adding new pages, by default, they will not be in a Page group. If you are using column pages and your content flows onto another page, a Page group will be created by default. Users can also choose to create Page groups manually using the three-dot menu on hover.
Hover over a page and click the three dots to see the below options. Click on "Convert to group".
If the group only has one page, you can also convert it back to an individual page. Click on the three dots next to the page group name to access the menu.
An individual page within a page group can still be independently copied, pasted, or deleted.
Split page group
This is useful if you have different content types, such as various industries, where separating them would be beneficial. The new Page group will include the page you used to split the group plus any Content pages following it.
Page group options
To access page group options, click on the three dots next to the page group name.
Grid: Switch between Freeform layout or Column layout.
Background: Select a background color for your page group.
Display rules: Set personalization rules for your content.
Rename page group: Customize the name of your page group to differentiate it from others.
Duplicate page group: Creates an identical page group and puts it next to the original.
Copy page group: Copies a page group, which can be pasted into another location within the same Chapter, Doc, or into an entirely different Doc.
Paste page group: This option becomes available after copying a page group.
Delete page group: Removes a page group from the Doc.
Connected pages
Text that flows over two or several Content pages automatically shows as a connected page in the outline. This means you can copy, paste, move, and delete these pages together as if they were one Content page.
In the outline, connected pages look like this:
If you want to break these down into individual thumbnails in the unified outline, place a page break between the text on the left-hand side of the editor.
They will then behave as two separate pages in the Content outline.
