Removing chapters or sections from your plan outline

If there are chapters, or sections in the outline that you don’t want to be included in your plan, it is straightforward to remove them.

When you remove a section, it will no longer appear as part of your plan’s printed output, but any information you have entered in the section will be saved. Other users on your account can view the contents of any removed section, and you can restore it to your plan at any time.

Removing a chapter or section

1. 

In the Plan section, click the three dots next to any section or chapter in your outline:

Select Remove From Plan.

Restoring a chapter or section you've deleted from your plan

When you remove a chapter or section from your plan outline, sections and any content you've entered into those sections will automatically be saved in the Available Content list for later use. The chapter headings, however, are deleted permanently.

1. 

In the Plan section, select the Add Section button in the applicable chapter:

NUX - Add Section Button
2. 

In the Available Content menu, find the section you previously removed and click Add to Plan to restore it:

NUX - Restore Section

If the restored section had any content in it previously, that content will still be in place when you restore it.
