Describe the feature you'd like

How about adding another organizational layer to the shelves, books etc.?
Like the possibility to add libraries and/or rooms, where the shelves are sorted in.
Maybe even as an option that can be turned on or off.

Organziation would look like: library/(room)/shelve/book/chapter/page

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

One more level to organize stuff, e.g. you aquire a new company and want to differentiate content between them.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

Not as i know. Sorry if already requested, could not find any matches.

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

  • I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundamental request

How long have you been using BookStack?

Under 3 months

Hi @mgmwhite,
Please see #95 for the most extensive past discussion on additional levels.

As an additional workaround, to achieve this via other means, you could instead set up multiple separate BookStack instances.
