Organize Groups with Sections

Learn how to structure content within a Group using Sections

What is a Section?

Each piece of content added to a Group is placed into a Section. Sections allow you to customize how content within a group is segmented and in what order they appear. This makes it easier to build specific learning paths based on your learners' needs.

Sections were introduced in our SparkLearn 3.13  release. Click here to learn more about the update and how this change will be reflected in existing content.

Create a New Section

When you add a piece of content to a Group, you can enter the name of an existing section to add it to or automatically create a new section by entering a name that hasn't been used yet. Learn more about how to Add Content to Groups.

By default, sections will be displayed in alphabetical order. However, if a Group's sections have been reordered manually, any new sections will be added to the bottom of the page. New content added to a specific section will behave the same way.
