# Understanding the Book Content Options.

When creating your Book in Ex Ordo, you can choose what information is included and how it is organised. This article outlines the options available and how each one affects the final output.

 

### **Content Type**

The Content Type setting determines which type of submission will appear in your book.

#### **Title & Abstracts**

Select this option if you want to include the submission title, abstract, and author information only.

#### **Initial Drafts**

This is the PDF file uploaded by authors in the **Initial Submission**.

Select this option if you'd like your book to be built using the PDF's that authors uploaded during the Initial Submissions stage of your conference. Each PDF will be inserted unmodified into your book.

#### **Final Drafts**

This is the PDF file uploaded by authors in the **Final Submission**.

Select this option if you'd like your book to be built using the PDF's that authors uploaded during the Final Submissions stage of your conference. Each PDF will be inserted unmodified into your book.

#### **Additional Information File**

This is a file uploaded by authors on the **Additional Information** step of your submission workflow.

Select this option if you'd like your book to be built using the PDF's that authors uploaded during the Additional Information step of your submission workflow. Each PDF will be inserted unmodified into your book.

You can choose to display extra details alongside each submission:

- Date
