Managing Project Metadata
Project metadata is managed through the Export dialog. Click "Export" in the project header, then switch to the "Metadata" tab. You will see fields for title, author name, description, introduction, and final thoughts.
The introduction field adds opening remarks before the first chapter - perfect for explaining the ebook purpose. The final thoughts field goes after the last chapter, ideal for calls-to-action or acknowledgments. Both support plain text and are formatted automatically during export.
Changes save when you click "Save Metadata." Keeping metadata up to date ensures consistency across all export formats (PDF, EPUB, DOCX).
Configuring Export Options
The "Format" tab in the Export dialog offers options for each export type. Choose whether to include a table of contents, copyright page, and chapter numbering style (numeric, roman numerals, or none).
Toggle "Include Branding" to show or hide your watermark on PDF exports. Useful when you want watermarks on lead magnets but clean copies for paying customers. The watermark text is set in the Metadata tab.
Copyright page placement can be "beginning" or "end" of the ebook. Most authors prefer end placement to avoid disrupting reading flow.
Best Practices
Update metadata early in your project so test exports include accurate information. Set author name, watermark text, and introduction before writing your first chapter.
Use the description field to document your target audience and content angle. This serves as your internal project brief and helps you stay focused.
Test each export format (PDF, EPUB, DOCX) at least once before publishing. Verify TOC links, copyright pages, and chapter numbering. Small tweaks to export options can significantly impact the reading experience.
