How best to do that depends in how the Nav was constructed in the first place. If it was built by hand and not tied to xhtml heading tags (h1, h2, etc) then editing the nav by hand is probably the best way to go after adding the new section, and dragging and dropping it in BookBrowser where it should be in the proper order.

If your Nav was properly built based on xhtml h1, h2, and h3 tags, the Sigil can completely rebuild the table of contents based on those tags and the order of files in Sigil's Bookbrowser. Be careful not too lose the existing page list as you will be adding "pages".

Either way make a Checkpoint *before* starting any changes (or at the very least do a file save as under a new name) so nothing is ever permanently lost.

Then reading up on the Sigil User Guide so that you better understand how epubs are constructed, and edited is highly recommended.
