Add Sections and Subsections to a Pathway

Sections help to categorize your content items in a Pathway. These are not required, but are helpful when creating Pathways with larger numbers of content items.

If a Pathway only includes one section, the Pathway will not include a table of contents (TOC). The left column will be empty and the Pathway title will not show above the navigational outline. To include a TOC in your Pathway, add two or more sections.

Use subsections to further categorize your content items within a section. These also are not required, but are helpful as visual indicators that content items are related.

Permissions may be required to access some pages in Degreed or perform specific tasks. For more information, see Permissions in Degreed (accessible by Degreed Admins only).
