Chapters between Posts

Chapters help structure your live blog, making it easier for readers to navigate. With just one click on a chapter, they can jump directly to that section in the live blog. How to Add Chapters: Select the plus icon between posts. Name the chapter. All chapters will be displayed as a list at the top of your live blog. Info: If you have selected Highlight List or Highlight Slideshow, your chapters will not appear at the top of the live blog. Instead, the chosen highlights will be displayed. You can adjust this setting in the Theme Generator. Tickaroo Tip: Chapters appear between individual posts. If you use Highlight Posts, readers can click on a linked post in the Highlight List or Highlight Slideshow and jump directly to that post in the live blog. We recommend using Highlights instead of Chapters, as they provide a more intuitive navigation experience.
