It is simple to add a prologue or epilogue into Novelcrafter without impacting the numbering of your chapters or acts by toggling the Automatic Numeration .

To create a prologue:

  1. Create a new Chapter or Act

    Create a new chapter

  2. Move it to the front of your novel

  3. In the actions menu, toggle the Automatic Numeration to off.

    Disable numeration for a chapter

  4. Name your Chapter/Act “Prologue” Renaming a chapter

The process is the same if you were to create an epilogue (or other kinds of epigraph), with placement at the end of your novel.
