Video Guides & Tutorials
Pressbooks is an easy-to-use publishing platform based on WordPress. Learn how to get started while getting a sneak preview of the authoring interface. Here, you will learn the basics of the Pressbooks, including how to add metadata and get started in Pressbooks for your adopt, customize, or create grant project. Depending on the nature of your project, you may want to create an entirely new book, clone or adapt existing books, import manuscripts or Word files, and make your content look great across e-readers.
For your convenience, we have embedded Pressbooks’ how-to-videos with timestamps and descriptions so that you can jump to the sections relevant to you.
