Topic: Changing order of chapters

I have a question.
I need to insert a new chapter out of order. How does this technically challenged women do this without messing everything up?
Thank you very much.

Re: Changing order of chapters

There may be an easier way, Christine, but I'd go to the higher chapters and, starting with the highest, add one to the chapter number and republish. Work your way down each chapter, renumbering one higher as you go, until  you reach the spot you want to insert a chapter. Edit and publish that chapter in the right order. The upper chapters will remain in the proper order.

Then again, I've just drunk a huge can of Sapporo Beer with my tuna and salmon sushi, so I could be all wet.

Thanks, Bill and Clarke!

I used Bill's method, though the system first didn't let me post after I had changed the chapter numbers, still believing chapter 12 already existed. I fiddle around with the version number. It let me do it then, but I have two number 12 chapters now in the list. Doesn't matter for now.

Bill’s method is what I have used.  I believe it’s the only way.  It’s tedious, but it works like a charm.  I have used it many times.  Never had a problem.

Same here. Bill's method is the only one available, but you shouldn't have problems republishing any chapter. If you do, talk to Sol.

Thank you all. I figured it out.

Christine, you can make the old version of chapter 12 inactive, assuming you don't want both to show up for your readers. Making it inactive still allows you to access the reviews given, in case you want to refer to them later. If not, you can simply delete the old chapter, and the reviews will disappear with them.

Dirk, I deleted one of the versions but will use your suggestion when I want to keep the old one. Thanks!
