Moving pages between chapters

You can not rearrange pages or move them from one chapter to another. However, you can move (or copy/paste) sections.

Go to... iBook Menu... Help... iBooks Author Help... Set up your book... Add, reorder, or delete chapters, sections, and pages.

From the iBook help menu:

In the Book pane (shown above), do either or both of the following:

• To change the order of chapters: Drag them.
• To change the order of sections: Drag a section to a new location. You can also drag a section from one chapter to another.

I had the same question, I have a book with one chapter, and I imported an existing Word doc, which now makes up the pages of that Chapter. I want to split the pages up into a bunch of chapters, but a Page doesn't seem to exist as an entity. Maybe it's because iBA treats a page as a flow device - text flows from one to another.

I've found a mitigation though - create a blank page in a new chapter, and just use copy/cut and paste from within the page to move the contents.

similar but different question, it imported my pages document as 1 chapter, and wont let me reorder them. And if I add anything - pages, forward, chapters it puts them at the bottom of the pane on the left and wont let me reorder them? I am think we have a bug.

it was a few days ago, but I think I just dragged the document from my desktop to the pane on the left. it made them all chapter one. It wouldn't allow me to change the order or subdivide it into other chapters. (I have since started over bringing the pages in manually and created the appropriate chapters)

but the really amazing thing is that if I add a foreward, it puts it at the bottom of the pages/chapters pane (regardless of what I have highlighted) and wont let me drag the foreward to the front of the book.
