I am making my first ibook, and discovered after I had made all the pages that I had forgotten to divide the book into sections. Now I only have one section with all pages... How do I make the sections without having to make the entire book from scratch?

Hi tone elin,
Congrats on taking your first steps towards creating your own content using iBooks Author. The resource below will explain how to add and rearrange sections in your book:
iBooks Author: Add, reorder, or delete chapters, sections, and pages
Your book is made up of chapters. A chapter can contain pages and sections.
A section is a part of a chapter. You can use sections to divide the content of a chapter into topics ....
As you add content, new pages are added as needed, or you can add pages first. (When you view a landscape template in portrait orientation, each chapter or section has one scrolling page that displays all the content.)
Important: You can’t drag individual pages to reorder them
Add a chapter or a section
In the Book pane (shown above), select the chapter that precedes the chapter you want to add, or select the chapter you want to add the section to.
Click Add Pages in the toolbar, and choose either Chapter > Option or Section > Option.
Click a chapter or section title and do any of the following:
Add a chapter or section title: Click the “Untitled” placeholder text and type new text.
Change the prefix and number displayed: On the book page, double-click the word “Chapter” or “Section” and choose an option from the Section Number pop-up menu.
Replace a section title with a chapter or book title, or a chapter title with a book title: On the book page, triple-click the chapter or section title and choose an option from the Title pop-up menu.
You can also add a chapter or section by duplicating one. Select a chapter or section and choose Edit > Duplicate.
Reorder chapters or sections
In the Book pane (shown above), do either or both of the following:
Change the order of chapters: Drag them.
Change the order of sections: Drag a section to a new location in the chapter, or to another chapter.
