Course page with nested sections. "Other Uses" and "Glossaries" are displayed as links to their own pages.

A subsection shown on a separate page, with a "Back to" link to its parent section.

In edit mode the section menu offers "Add subsection" and "Display as a link".

About

The course is divided into sections, each section can be displayed on the course page or as a link. Sections can have subsections.

Sections can be added inside other sections. The number of top-level sections is limited by the site setting maxsections, the number of subsections is unlimited, but the nesting depth can be capped with the "Max subsection depth" setting.
Each section, regardless of its nesting level, can be shown either on the same page as its parent or on a separate page. Teachers switch between the two in edit mode.
When a section is displayed on a separate page, its name becomes a link, and that page shows a "Back to ..." link to the parent.
Hiding a section also hides all of its subsections and their activities.
Optional "accordion" effect: expanding one section collapses the others.
The course index can show sections and activities, sections only, or be hidden altogether.
Activities can display a "Back to ..." link that returns to the section they belong to.

If a section contains both activities and subsections, the activities are displayed first.
