Create a Book

There are three ways you can create a new book in Pressbooks:

  1. Create a new book from scratch
  2. Clone an existing book and adapt it
  3. Import an existing resource to create a new book

Create a New Book From Scratch

Complete the steps below to create a Pressbook from scratch.

  1. Click on “Create a New Book”.
  2. Create your URL: the URL for all your resources will start with ecampusontario.pressbooks.pub/ and you’ll be asked to fill in the remainder of this. Choose wisely because you won’t be able to change it later. For this Activity, call it “My Sandbox”.
  3. Add a title – we suggest “My Sandbox”.
  4. Choose the language of the book (this corresponds to the language of the reader’s interface).
  5. Set Privacy: Choose “No” for this purpose, as you don’t want your “My Sandbox” book to be visible to anyone but you!
