# Program Sections API: Sample Flows

This article presents possible use cases and corresponding sample flows that you can support. It provides a useful starting point as you plan your implementation.

## Add a section to a program

Use this flow when you want to build or expand the structure of an existing online program.

To add a section to a program:

1. Create or identify the target program.
2. Call [Create Section](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-management/online-programs/sections/create-section.md) and specify the parent program ID in `section.programId`.
3. Treat `section.programId` as immutable after creation.
4. Set `section.description.title` to the section title.
5. Optionally set `delayInDays`.
6. Save the returned section ID for later retrieval, update, or move calls.

## Retrieve section outlines for a program

Use this flow when you need to display the section structure for a program dashboard or synchronize it into another system.

To retrieve section outlines for a program:

1. Call [List Sections](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-management/online-programs/sections/list-sections.md) with the target `programId` to retrieve all sections in program order.
2. Expect current section responses to return the section title.
3. Use the returned section IDs in later retrieve, update, move, or clone calls.

## Reorder sections in a program

Use this flow when you want to change the sequence in which sections appear in a program.

To reorder sections in a program:

1. Call [List Sections](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-management/online-programs/sections/list-sections.md) with the target `programId` to retrieve the current order of sections.
2. Identify the section to move and the section that should come immediately before it.
3. Call [Move Section](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-management/online-programs/sections/move-section.md) with the section ID and `afterSectionId`.
4. Leave `afterSectionId` empty if the section should become the first section in the program.
5. Use the returned section object to confirm the new ordering value.

## Filter and sort sections

Use this flow when you need more than the default program-order list, such as filtering by delay in days or sorting by creation date.

To filter and sort sections:

1. Call [Query Sections](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-management/online-programs/sections/query-sections.md).
2. Add a `query.filter` object for the program and any additional filters you need.
3. Add `query.sort` when you need a specific sort order, such as `ordering` or `createdDate`.
4. Set `query.cursorPaging.limit` to control page size.
5. Use the returned `pagingMetadata` to continue paging if more results are available.

## Clone section content

Use this flow when you want to reuse the structure and content of an existing section in the same program.

To clone section content:

1. Identify the section you want to reuse.
2. Call [Clone Section](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-management/online-programs/sections/clone-section.md) with that section's ID.
3. Save the returned cloned section ID.
4. Retrieve the cloned section later to get the current `totalSteps` value. Steps are cloned asynchronously after the clone call returns.

## Delete a section

Use this flow when a section should no longer exist in the public API.

To delete a section:

1. Identify the section to remove.
2. Call [Delete Section](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-management/online-programs/sections/delete-section.md) with that section's ID.
3. Treat the deletion as permanent from the public API perspective.
4. Stop using the deleted section ID in later get, list, query, or move calls.
