Is Dasam Granth One Granth Or Many Put Together?

[Guest Jacfsing2]

I noticed this when I started doing a Sehaj Paht from a Dasam Granth Sahib online: "ਮੁਖ ਭਾਗ", "Mukha Bhaag", "Chapter"

VAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA, VAHEGURU JI KI FATEH

Traditional common history states that Bhai Mani Singh compiled Dasam Granth Sahib from all of the Banis authored by Guru Sahib.

However, this website seems to provide evidence that Dasam Patshah had himself composed it and a Bir from 1698 is provided as backing to that statement:
