# Add sections to a placed order

Teaching assignments change before and during an Ordering period. It is not uncommon for sections to be added to or removed from an Instructor's teaching load. The Unizin Order Tool makes it easy to enable changes in a placed order when a section is removed or added to a teaching load.

## Removed sections <a href="#addsectionstoaplacedorder-removedsections" id="addsectionstoaplacedorder-removedsections"></a>

The Order Tool *automatically detects* that Sections were added to or removed from a teaching load for an Instructor during the Ordering period. If a Section has been removed from a course for which an order is placed, the order will not be fulfilled for that section.

## Adding sections to a placed order <a href="#addsectionstoaplacedorder-addingsectionstoaplacedorder" id="addsectionstoaplacedorder-addingsectionstoaplacedorder"></a>

If one or more Sections have been added to a course for which an order is already placed, then Order Tool will signal this fact in the user interface and an **Instructor**, **Coordinator,** or **Program Administrator** must add it to an existing order. The representation of the course and section type will indicate that N of N sections are ordered for.

The new sections in a Course teaching load can be added to the existing order:

* Select the link to the order that was placed for the existing sections. Orders and order numbers are represented to the right of a section.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://resources.unizin.org/products/content/unizin-order-tool/courses-and-ordering/add-sections-to-a-placed-order.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
