Appendices are for supplementary material that's too long or too distracting to include in the body of your paper. PERRLA handles appendix formatting automatically – here's how it works.
Adding an Appendix
Papers created after July 20, 2026
In PERRLA Online, you'll use the Navigator to the left of your paper to add sections.
- Click the + icon next to Navigator.
- Under Paper Parts, click Appendix.
You can also choose Appendix (Landscape) if you need a landscape-oriented appendix.
PERRLA will add an Appendix at the correct location in your paper and update the names of any existing appendices automatically. You can drag and drop them in a different order in the Navigator.
Papers created before July 20, 2026
Click Appendix in the PERRLA toolbar to open the Appendix panel, then click Add an Appendix. PERRLA will add an Appendix at the correct location in your paper and update the names of any existing appendices automatically.
You can also click the green bar button at the end of your paper to add a new appendix without opening the panel.
Removing an Appendix
Papers created after July 20, 2026
- In the Navigator, click the three dots next to the appendix you want to delete.
- Choose Delete appendix.
- Click Yes, Delete to confirm.
Papers created before July 20, 2026
A red delete button appears beneath each appendix – each one is labeled to match the appendix it will delete. Because this also deletes any content inside the appendix, PERRLA will ask you to confirm before making it permanent.
