Why does my collection not show "Chapter 1", "Chapter 2" in the exported book?

BookyAI •1 min read •10 views •Updated Sep 25, 2026

A collection of stories is usually printed with each story under its own title, without a chapter number above it. From version 1.9.20 BookyAI does this for collections in every format (PDF, Word, EPUB, Kindle, HTML, Markdown), in the table of contents and in the audiobook, where each story is announced by its title. If you prefer the numbers, open the book's page, then Book details in the right column, and untick "Story titles only in exports". The next export shows "Chapter 1: Title" again. Books that are not collections always keep their chapter numbers.

A book disappeared from my Library but I never deleted it. Is my work gone? A chapter ignores its outline beats and writes the events of the following chapters. What can I do? A chapter or section heading ends up as the last line of a page in my export. How do I fix it? A chapter repeats parts of the previous chapter. Why does this happen and is it fixed?
