Adding and removing outline sections

Prev Next

Your Outline contains a complete overview of your Ordo, with all sections in the left panel for easy navigation and editing. After you create your Ordo, change your outline to focus only on the parts you want to prepare. This will help you save time during liturgy preparation.

This information applies to all Source & Summit customers.

About the Ordo Outline

In the Ordo Editor, the outline refers to all content in the left panel. The outline may include the following section types:

  • Hymns

  • Proper

  • Ordinary

  • Choral

  • Instrumental

  • Order of Mass

  • Custom Text

  • Prayer

From your Outline, you can manage all the sections of your Ordo to add sections, remove sections, or change the section order.

Pro Tip

If you regularly add or remove the same sections of the liturgy in your Ordos, create a template with those sections to save time.

Managing your Outline

  1. Create an Ordo.

  2. In the left panel, click + to add a section.

    These sections typically correspond to a particular part of the liturgy and will appear in their proper place. If they don’t (for example, Custom Text or Prayer), the section will appear at the top of your Ordo.
