The order and hierarchy of your Chapters determines the flow of your Story for viewers.
Change a Parent Chapter's order
To change the order of your chapters, drag a chapter above or below another. Parent Chapters will play in sequence on Chapter types that can end without viewer interactions.
Nest a Chapter
To create a Nested Chapter, simply drag a chapter to the right of the desired Parent Chapter. After playing, Nested Chapters will resume the previous Chapter for Chapter types that can end without viewer interactions. Resuming a Parent Chapter will reset viewer progress on all Nested Chapters.
Nesting Guidelines
You'll find below specific guidelines for each Chapter type regarding whether they are well-suited as Parent Chapters, Nested Chapters, or both.
Video Chapters
- Parent - Video Chapters work well as Parent Chapters and can use hotspots to link to Chapters nested within.
- Nested - Users who click on a hotspot connected to a nested Video Chapter watch the nested video. When it’s finished, they will automatically resume the previous Chapter.
Slideshow Chapters
- Parent - Slideshow Chapters are not recommended as parents to Nested Chapters as they don't allow for hotspots.
- Nested - Users who click on a hotspot connected to a nested Slideshow Chapter watch the presentation of stills or video. When it’s finished, they will automatically resume the previous Chapter.
Pathfinder Chapters
- Parent - Pathfinder Chapters both work well as parent chapters and can use hotspots to link to Chapters nested within.
- Nested - Users who click on a hotspot connected to a nested Pathfinder Chapter must select either a hotspot or the back button navigation in order to resume previous content or advance to new content.
Explainer Chapters
- Parent - Explainer Chapters are not recommended as parents to Nested Chapters as they don't allow for hotspots.
