Overview: To give a Workbook structure, Categories are used to define the main areas you want the learner to understand. Within each category, Sections are used to divide the information into smaller parts. Categories must be added first before you can include sections.

Note: Some companies choose to rename 'Workbooks' to something that works better for their company. If workbooks is part of your package and you are having trouble locating it on your system, please get in touch with us.
