Page groups

A page group is a labeled range of pages — “Early Years,” “The Army Letters,” “The Farm 1952–1968.” Groups give a book structure, let readers jump around, and let you write a shared summary that introduces the section.

Creating a group

Open the book, press Admin at the top, and look for the Page Groups section. Press + New Group.

The fields

• Label — a short name for this section (shown in the thumbnail strip and on the cover of the group).
• Start Page / End Page — the page number where the group begins and the page number where it ends. Inclusive.
• Summary Title — an optional headline for the intro card.
• Summary Caption — the description shown when the group is collapsed or used as the intro. Supports Markdown and [[Name]] links to people.

Markdown & person links in summaries

Summaries can use basic Markdown for formatting:

• *italic* → italic
• **bold** → bold
• [link text](https://...) → an external link
• [[John Reed]] → a link to John Reed’s profile

Editing a group

In the Admin panel, each existing group appears with an edit button next to it. Press it to change the label, move the range, or update the summary.

Deleting a group

Press the delete button next to a group. The pages aren’t deleted — only the grouping. You can always regroup them later.

How readers see groups

The thumbnail strip shows a little label at the start of each group. The group intro — title + summary — appears as a “cover page” between sections when someone flips through the book.
