# Adding a Chapter to a Playground Book

Create a folder with a manifest that describes the chapter’s name and page order.

## Overview

Overview You use chapters to group the pages of a playground book by topic. Create a Chapter Folder Create a new folder in the Chapters folder inside your playground book’s Contents folder. The new chapter’s folder name must end with the suffix .playgroundchapter. In Xcode, create a property list file called Manifest.plist in the new chapter’s folder. Choose File > New > File, then choose the Property List template from iOS > Resources.  Use the manifest property list to list the chapter’s name and the order of its pages, which can include both playground pages (.playgroundpage) and cutscene pages (.cutscenepage). The following image shows the example chapter, “First Chapter,” which contains two pages.

Name the Chapter Choose a name for your new chapter by adding a Name key to the Manifest.plist property list. This name is displayed to learners in the table of contents for your book in Swift Playgrounds. Arrange Pages in the Chapter Pages in your playground book must be placed in a chapter. The page folders you place within chapter folders determine which pages go into which chapters. You choose the order of pages in a chapter by adding a Pages key to the chapter’s Manifest.plist file. The Pages key is an ordered array of page folder names. Add the names of a chapter’s pages in the order in which you want those pages to appear in the chapter.
