Books offer a means to organize content, authored by many users, into a composite product. Most of the elements of books require special privileges, including the following:

• Creating a new book
• Being able to edit pages of a book other than those that you have created
• Changing the order of the elements in a book

If you have been granted the privilege to add new pages to a book, you will see the 'add child page' link underneath a book page. That link will allow new content to be posted for that book.

A book's hierarchy has mplications in the moderation queue. If individual elements for a book are unpublished, they will not appear in the book's outline until the corresponding nodes are published. In a similar way, each node that is published can be placed in the moderation queue separately (or not). The preferred approach for most situations is to promote the main page of the book to the front page, and neither promote nor place into the moderation queue the subordinate pages.
