1. Set up the module that you want to add.
    1. Create the module in your Trailmaker Content workspace, or import the backpack of an existing module that you want to add. For more information about these options, see [Create a Module in Trailmaker Content](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sales.mth_create_module_in_tm_content.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "A module can stand alone or be a part of a trail. When you’re ready to create a module and its units, move the final draft of your content from a word processor into Trailmaker Content.") and [Import a Backpack into Trailmaker Content](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sales.mth_upload_published_or_archived_content_to_tm_content.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "You can add learning content into your workspace from a backpack ZIP file that you saved or downloaded. This workflow is helpful when you want to collaborate on content that other content creators started in their own workspace. Or, follow these steps when you want to update published content or restore archived content. You can also import a content template that you downloaded.").
2. Find the backpack for the trail that you want to update. You can:
    
    - Access the backpack in your company’s version control system (VCS).
    - Download the latest released version of the backpack from Trailmaker Release. To learn more, see [Download a Backpack from Trailmaker Release](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sales.mth_tm_release_download.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "From Trailmaker Release, you can download the backpack ZIP file for a module or trail published in your company’s enablement site. With this backpack, your content creators can easily access the latest released version of content the next time they want to update it.").
3. Import the trail backpack to Trailmaker Content.
4. Add the module to the trail in one of these ways.
    
    - Create a module from the trail page.
    - Add a module that’s in your workspace to the trail.
    - Add a module to the trail by referencing its API name.
5. Add the new module and the updated trail to an unpublished release by completing the steps in [Add Content to a Release from Trailmaker Content](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sales.mth_add_content_to_release_from_tm_content.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "After you create your module and quizzes and assign all the necessary metadata, add the content to a release.").
6. Preview and publish the release.
7. Download the latest released versions of the module and trail backpacks, and store them in your VCS.
