Chapter Numbering
In Vellum, your chapters are automatically numbered. Numbering settings control how this numbering is performed.
Numbering Settings
Select Numbering from the Chapter menu to display the settings for your book:
Numbering Across Volumes, Parts
If you have used volumes to create a Box Set, or you’ve organized your chapters into Parts, you can make use of the Reset across options for these elements.
The Reset across options control whether chapter numbers continue or reset across each Volume or Part:
Note: this only affects chapters that are grouped within a Part or a Volume. If you’re not seeing a change, make sure your chapters are correctly nested within a Part / Volume, as seen in the screenshots above.
Initial Chapter
By default, the first chapter of your book will be Chapter 1.
You can change Initial chapter if you’d prefer a different first chapter number, like if you are producing a separate volume that begins on a later chapter.
