Adding a prologue or anything before Chapter 1

If I create an outline in the plan, and I want the first element to be a Prologue (or anything) then I can find no simply way to have the next element be Chapter 1 and have the chapters autonumber from there.
I am a noob, and I have gotten the AI to tell me how to do it, and sometimes its instructions work, sometimes they don't. The simple act f turning off enumeration should let me define the title, and then if the next element has enumeration on, it should start at Chapter 1.

This has already been possible since day one:
- Create an Act, name it prologue, and then disable numeration on the act - but this step is kind of optional if you don't want your prologue to be in its own act.
- Create a new chapter, name it prologue, and also disable numeration.
same for any interludes, acknowledgements, epilogues, etc.

spaceemotion Thanks Space'....easy when you know eh :-) One thing to mention is that the numerical change for subsequent 'Acts'....i.e. Act 2 still states Act 2....it will not change to Act 1 in real time. You will need to exit the novel and reload it. Once done looks great.

Pleasant Wolverine thanks for this. i'll see if it's a caching issue then!

spaceemotion Thanks, I figured that out. But it’s not obvious. There’s also a ‘refresh’ glitch that leaves what will be Chapter 1 still labeled as Chapter 2 after you change the first section to Prologue.
Manually refreshing the page will result in renumbering the chapters, adding to the confusion, since it happened several times before I realized what was happening..
