Assuming you are using the masters-doctoral-thesis template, please have a look at the unofficial quick manual.
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.

Hi, thx for response. Basically what I did was I uncomment the code "%\include{Chapters/Chapter2}" which creates a separate files from the Chapters folder. When I tried to add in codes similar in Chapter 1 samples into the newly created Chapter 2, it gives me a lot of errors! Pls advise what should I do. I can't find clues in your quick manual read.me file.

Hi Casey!
  • Go to the Chapters folder
  • Copy ChapterTemplate.tex and give it the name Chapter2.tex
  • Edit Chapter2.tex and enter your heading and text
  • uncomment "%\include{Chapters/Chapter2}" in the main file, so it reads in your new Chapter2.tex
