 The trim feature is useful if there are extra numbers or punctuation before all the track names. For example, if the files are ''01_Title Page'', ''02_Copyright'', etc. you would only need to trim the first ''3'' characters from these track names to make it DAISY compatible. The trim feature is useful if there are extra numbers or punctuation before all the track names.

-Rename the section based on what the narrator reads. For example, if the narrator reads the title you will rename that track to Title Page. If you find a track that has a Part named, make note of what chapter that part starts at, as you will need that information when you apply the levels. Then simply name the track for the chapter only. For example, if the narrator reads "Part One: The Beginning, Chapter 1: The first chapter" then you would enter only ''Chapter 1: The First Chapter'' into the track name. You apply the Part names in the levels section.+Rename the section based on what the narrator reads. For example, if the narrator reads the title you will rename that track to Title Page. See below for how to name different headings levels.
  
-<note>Please note when renaming tracks they must have logical names that match the book section they represent. For example, the first track that gives the ''Title'' can be renamed ''Title Page''. These should also be complete words and phrases with no abbreviations. For example, ''Chapter 1'' is acceptable but ''Ch 01'' is not acceptable.

-<note>If you make a mistake on the name of a track, you can press the Previous button to go back and correct it before continuing.</note>+Some audiobooks have multiple levels of navigation, and we can set these levels with Converter Plus. A common example is a book that has multiple parts with chapters divided within these parts.
  
-<note tip>If you are unsure of the spelling of a section, locate the book's table of contents online to find the correct spelling. Taking the extra time to get it right will ensure we are making the best books possible.+For example: 
 + 
 +  * Part One: The Beginning (Heading 1) 
 +     * Chapter 1 (Heading 2) 
 +     * Chapter 2 (Heading 2) 
 +  * Part Two: The Next Part (Heading 1) 
 +     * Chapter 3 (Heading 2) 
 +     * Chapter 4 (Heading 2) 
 + 
 +You will need to establish the proper heading hierarchy, and have the proper names assigned to each heading. This will help the reader navigate the different sections of the book with ease, and also get a good idea of the overall layout of the title when they first open the book. Headings are the most important part to accessibility, so we want to get it right. 
 + 
 +<note>If you have a book imported with assigned levels already intact, you will still have to go through this process to make sure each level and track adheres to the correct naming convention for conversion.</note> 
 + 
 +To rename tracks and levels in Track Discovery: 
 +  * Open Project 
 +  * Go to ''Set Play Order'' 
 +  * Go to ''Track Discovery'' located in the ''Track Names'' section. 
 +  * This will open up the first track, which will automatically play the first 5 seconds of the track. 
 + 
 +At the top of this page is the player for this track. Below this there are 6 text boxes to enter the names of headings levels 1-6. Below this are two buttons, ''Advance'' and ''Previous'', to help you navigate through each track as you name the tracks. 
 + 
 +You will be entering the title of the track into the appropriate heading level. For example, the title of a book is part of the front matter, which is always set to ''Heading 1''.
  
 +<note tip>Listen to the track carefully for the name of the section. Spelling is very important, so you may have to look up the table of contents to get the proper spelling of the book.

-When in doubt, ask for assistance.</note> +When you listen to a track that is at heading level one: 
-====Levels====+  * Enter the name of that track into the ''Heading 1'' text box 
 +  * Select ''Advance'' to move to the next track.
  
-After you have renamed all your tracks and made note of the Parts you can now apply the levels to the audiobook.+When you listen to a track that starts with a Part Section title, followed by a Chapter heading: 
 +  * Enter the Part Section title into the ''Heading 1'' text box. For example, 'Part One: The Beginning'. 
 +  * Enter the Chapter Section title into the ''Heading 2'' text box. For example, 'Chapter One: The First Chapter'. 
 +  * Press ''Advance'' to listen to the next track 
 +  * If the next track is another Chapter Section, leave ''Heading 1'' blank and enter that Chapter Section title into the ''Heading 2'' text box. 
 +  * When you reach the next Part Section title enter this new title into ''Heading 1'' along with the Chapter Section title into ''Heading 2''. 
 +  * Continue entering the Chapter Section titles into ''Heading 2'' as you did for the Part One, and remember to leave ''Heading 1'' blank until you reach the next Part Section.
  
-Some audiobooks have multiple levels of navigation, and we can set these levels with Converter Plus. A common example is a book that has multiple parts with chapters divided within these parts.+If you have a book with Part Sections, Chapter Sections, and Subsections within the Chapters: 
 +  * Locate the first track for the Part Section 
 +     * Enter the title of the Part Section into ''Heading 1'' 
 +     * Enter the title of the Chapter Section into ''Heading 2'' 
 +  * Locate the track with the first Subsection 
 +     * Enter the title of the Part Section into ''Heading 1'' 
 +     * Enter the title of the Chapter Section into ''Heading 2'' 
 +     * Enter the title of the Subsection into ''Heading 3'' 
 +  * Locate the track for the second Subsection 
 +     * Enter only the title of the next Subsection into ''Heading 3'' until you read the next chapter, and repeat.
  
-For example:+<note important>You only have to enter the name of the Part Section title into the first track it is mentioned. Leave the ''Heading 1'' text box blank until you find the beginning of the next Part Section.</note>
  
-  * Part One: The Beginning +When you have completed naming all the tracks and headings you will return to the ''Set Play Order'' page.  You can review the track names in the dropdown menu in the ''Play Order'' section of this page.
-     * Chapter 1 +
-     * Chapter 2 +
-  * Part Two: The Next Part +
-     * Chapter 3 +
-     * Chapter 4+
  
-<note>If you have a book imported with assigned levels already intact, you will still have to go through this process to make sure each level and track adheres to the correct naming convention for conversion.</note>+The tracks with headings should look like: ''Part One: The Beginning~~2Chapter One: The First Chapter''  
 + 
 +<note>Do not delete the tilde's or the number. These indicate to the DAISY reader what heading level is assigned to the heading title.</note>
  
-First, you will need to identify the names of the parts through the main project page.+If you make a mistake you can fix it two ways: 
 +  - You can go back into Track Discovery and advance through each track individually as you make your edits 
 +  - You can select the track you wish to edit in the ''Play Order'' section
  
-  * In the ''Play Order'' section select the track at the beginning of the part and hit play. +To edit a track title in the ''Play Order'' section: 
-  * This should give you the name of the Part. Note: if the playback is cut off too soon, simply press play in the player at the top of the page to hear more of the track +  * Locate and select the track from the ''Track'' dropdown menu 
-  * Write down the part name so you can enter it later into the levels section+  * Select ''Edit'' 
 +  * Make sure to only change the spelling and leave alone the two tilde's and the number that indicated the heading level. 
  
-<note important>Sometimes the names of the parts or chapters can be hard to make out. If you have a book that is like this please use the [[public:nnels:etext:hand-to-rachel|Hand to Rachel]] option. See full directions further down.</note>+<note>All Front Matter and Back Matter are assigned ''Heading 1'' levels, as they are part of the top level of navigation. To learn more about books sections, please see our [[public:nnels:etext:audiobook_glossary|Audiobook Glossary]].</note>
  
-Once you have the names of each section you can rename the levels +<note>Most titles only have 2 levels, but there can be more complex titles with up to 6 heading levels, it is important to refer to the ebook TOC to help you with these more complex heading structures.</note>
-Go to the ''levels'' +
-  * On this page, you will see all the tracks in order with text boxes beside them. +
-  * If a track is a top-level track simply leave the text box empty. For example, ''Title Page'' is a top-level track so we leave that level empty. +
-  * If a track belongs to a section enter the name of that section into the text box beside the track name. For example, for track ''Chapter 1'' enter ''Book One'' into the text box. +
-  * Tab out of the box, and you will notice all the text boxes below get populated with this section title +
-  * You will then need to go down to the track in the list that starts the next section and enter the name of that section into the text box beside the track name. For example, for the next instance of ''Chapter 1'' you can enter ''Book Two''. Below is an image showing where the next section begins. Note, that the section name populated all the following text boxes, but we can see that there is a second Chapter 1 that tells us this is where the second section starts +
-  * Tab out of the box and continue down the list until you are done. +
-  * Remember if there are any tracks at the end that require to be top-level, then simply erase any text in the text box and it will be assigned top-level automatically. +
-  * Once you are satisfied you have named all the levels correctly hit submit+
  
-<note>In Converter Plus, once you have successfully applied the levels they will be represented as ''Book One~~Chapter 1'' or ''Book Two~~Chapter 2''. It is very important we do not remove these double tilde punctuation marks as they connote the levels for the conversion process.</note>+Below is a video tutorial for Heading Levels:
