Importing LibreTexts Content

Unfortunately, LibreTexts content does not import correctly using the import tool. Copying & pasting LibreText content from your browser into Pressbooks is time-consuming and may copy over necessary code, which will require cleanup. The best way to get LibreTexts content into Pressbooks is by importing the source code.

• you’ll need to download images from the source book and reinsert into the Pressbook
• glossary terms will need to be manually added
