Hi Helen,

New chapters appear at the end of the book - you have to drag and drop
them into the place you need them. I have just moved 'Settings' up to
the appropriate section.

Currently the format of this book is one chapter per feature (e.g. one
chapter per tab or page).

Right, there are also History, Versions and Notes tabs to cover. I'll
make a start on those in the morning.

The admin users are created at installation time - I don't see any way
to create them from within Booktype (which is probably more secure). I
don't yet understand the editor role or how it is created.

Perhaps we should mention the admin accounts at the 'Creating an
account' chapter, i.e. if you are an admin you don't need to create
another account for yourself.

Thanks for your help!

Daniel
