One trick I do right in the beginning is create human-readable filenames:
Before:
- index_split_001.xhtml
- index_split_002.xhtml
- index_split_003.xhtml
- index_split_004.xhtml
- [...]
After:
- titlepage.xhtml
- copyright.xhtml
- Introduction.xhtml
- Chapter01.xhtml
- Chapter02.xhtml
- [...]
How to Mass Rename Files?
In Sigil, you can easily do this by:
1) Go to the Book Browser along the left side.
2)
Shift+Left-Click to highlight which files you want to change.
3)
Right-Click > Rename.
4) In the "Rename files Starting at:" box, type in:
5) Press OK.
Sigil will auto-rename the highlighted files from:
- Chapter01.xhtml
- [...]
- Chapter99.xhtml
Now when you run the Reports, it'll be so much easier to understand:

You can also use them to list all links in a book, making it very easy to:

Human-readable filenames also make understanding links in footnotes/TOCs/Indexes way easier too.
Much easier to know where this link points:
- <a href="../Text/Chapter001.xhtml#footnote1>
compared to:
- <a href="../Text/index_split_006.xhtml#footnote1>
