# How to create an Appendix section or Supplementary Information

If you would like to have an Appendix or a Supplementary Information section in your document follow the instructions below in order to reference your figures and tables correctly, using a separate numbering scheme.

1. Click on Settings (cogs icon) in the Toolbar and *Edit Macros.*

2. In the header.tex  file, insert these lines:
```
\newcommand{\beginsupplement}{%
        \setcounter{table}{0}
        \renewcommand{\thetable}{S\arabic{table}}%
        \setcounter{figure}{0}
        \renewcommand{\thefigure}{S\arabic{figure}}%
     }
```
3. Go back to your document, and in the place where you want the supplemental information section to begin, insert the following LaTeX snippet:
```
\section{Supplementary Material}
\beginsupplement
```
4. Export your document and enjoy labels as S1, S2, etc.

Please note you can change the S to anything (e.g. A, for Appendix) by modifying the snippet in the `header.tex file.`
