# Structuring Content for Swift Playgrounds

Add content to a playground book by creating new folders and property lists.

## Overview

Overview Combine playground books, chapters, pages, Swift modules, and cutscenes to provide a logical narrative or instructional structure to your content. For example, you can: Use books to package root-level Swift Playgrounds content. Use chapters to group pages and cutscenes within a book. Use pages to write the primary teaching or exploratory content of the book. Use modules to implement live views and provide the APIs learners write code against. Provide user-editable modules to give learners a space to store and reuse code. Intersperse cutscenes with pages to introduce or summarize concepts. Each part of a playground book must include a manifest property list that contains metadata and references to shared resources. important: Modules are available starting with Swift Playgrounds 3, and version 6 of the Swift Playgrounds book format. For previous versions, place code in the Sources folder of a book, chapter, or page. Determine Book-Level Information You write key details about a playground book in its Manifest.plist file. The Swift Playgrounds Author Template comes with a default manifest that you update with specific details about your book, like its title and the file path for the cover image. You use the book-level manifest to configure the following properties:
