2. When you first open the outline panel, a sample topic and subtopic are already in place.

Double-click on the ones titled "Topic" and "Subtopic" and rename them to what you want. You can also two finger click (or on an iPad, long-press) on a topic and select "Edit" from the menu, or single-click to highlight a topic and click the "Edit" icon in the outline's toolbar.

3.To generate the outline you want, add, delete, and move items:

​

Add subtopics: Two finger click (or long-press on an iPad) on a topic and select "Add subtopic (child)." A new subtopic is added under the selected topic, and you can then title it.

​

Add topics (at the same outline level): Two finger click (or long-press on an iPad) on a topic and select "Add subtopic (child)." A new subtopic is added under the selected topic, and you can then title it.

​

Move a section of the outline: Any topic (along with its subtopics) can be dragged to another location in the outline. You can also single-click on a topic and then use the arrows in the editor to move it.

​

Using a combination of drag/drop and the arrow buttons is useful. For example, you can drag and drop one topic onto another topic to make the first a subtopic of the second. Then you can select the topic and move it with the up and down arrows, to order it relative to the other subtopics there if required.

​

Delete a topic: two finger click (or long-press) on a topic and choose "Delete." NOTE: Deleting a topic in your outline will delete all the subtopics under that topic, so please consider this step carefully!
