[Geomoose-users] How to implement an Atlas with several chapters

[TC Haddad]

Wasn't there also an ability to have multiple Mapbooks that the user could
choose from a dropdown (to switch chapters)? I seem to remember this from
2.4, but haven't seen any examples in 2.6..

maybe this was in Bob's answer which I didn't see go to the list.
