After creating your reading list, the empty list is now open (Figure 6). The blue “Publish” button indicates that your list has not yet been published, but is only a draft version. Changes will be saved automatically, but you will need to publish them to make them visible to your students or colleagues.

You can start building your list by using the three buttons at the bottom of the empty list.
Add resource adds a source to the list. This source can be a book, article, video or webpage, basically anything that can be accessed via a hyperlink. These sources will form the main content of your list. Adding resources is explained in more detail in a later section.
Add paragraphadds a paragraph of text to your reading list. You can use paragraphs for whatever you need. Remember that paragraphs are purely informative; they do not contain clickable content or add any interactive structure (only visual structure).
Add section allows you to create sections and sub-sections in your VU Reading Lists. Using sections is very useful as list sections (and sub-sections) can be individually added to your course in VU Canvas. Using sections gives you a lot of flexibility in using your reading list in VU Canvas.
