Side bar organization and chapter headings
I love being able to see the different sections of my manuscript, it really helps me stay organized. However, when I rename a section it sometimes gets added as a header in the proof. For example, I have some artwork before each chapter. I'd like to organize this in the bar with "chapter one artwork" but i don't want that added to the actual book. Could we have an option to hide section titles or even be able to add subsections?
Update — the gap I described is now closed.
To recap what I said before: there were ways to get a clean artwork page, but none of them let you also give it a tidy name in the sidebar. That's what was missing, and it's what's now been built.
Every section has a Contents name. Type "Chapter One artwork" into it and that's what you see in the Contents pane while you work — and it is never printed. The page itself prints whatever its own title says, or nothing at all if you leave that empty. So you get the organised sidebar you wanted and a clean page, at the same time, in the same spot.
Also fixed in the same release, and related: an image page inserted between chapters used to be a dead grey placeholder you could only fill by dragging an asset onto it (which added a second block). Now you click the placeholder and choose the picture. That was the other half of what made this awkward.
Subsections are still on the list — not forgotten, just not this release.
Thanks again for such a clearly described case. "I want it in the sidebar but not in the book" is exactly the sentence that made the shape of this obvious.
