Help Front & back matter

Front & back matter

Reorder sections, and move them between front and back

What you'll do: drag your supporting pages into the order you want — and move a section between the front and back of the book.

The Matter screen

Reorder

  1. Go to the Matter step.
  2. Grab a section by its grip handle ().
  3. Drag it up or down to its new position and drop it.

The new order is exactly the order readers will see.

Move between front and back

This matters because conventions differ by country — for example, acknowledgements usually go at the front in the US but at the back in the UK.

To move one, drag a section from the Front matter list into the Back matter list (or the other way). It keeps its content; only its position changes.

Standard sections can't be deleted, but you can always turn them off with their toggle. Custom sections can be deleted with the ×. See Add a custom section.
