Placement of a chapter after appendices

[nithinmkp]

Description

I need to place a page publications from thesis at the end of my quarto book. I also may need to add other pages. I want it to be excluded from table of contents page.

My minimal qmd document looks like this

project:
  type: book

book:
  title: "Consumer Sentiments"
  author: 
    - name: "Nithin M"
      affiliations:
        - name: "Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur"
          department: "Department of Humanities and Social Sciences"
  chapters:
    - index.qmd
    - intro.qmd
    - "Chapter1/chapter_main.qmd"
    - summary.qmd
    - publications.qmd
  appendices:
    - app1.qmd
    - app2.qmd
  date: "01 June 2026"
  date-format: "MMMM YYYY"
bibliography: references.bib
format:
  pdf:
    documentclass: scrbook
    toc: true
    toc-title: Contents

what i am expecting is something like this

project:
  type: book

book:
  title: "Consumer Sentiments"
  author: 
    - name: "Nithin M"
      affiliations:
        - name: "Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur"
          department: "Department of Humanities and Social Sciences"
  chapters:
    - index.qmd
    - intro.qmd
    - "Chapter1/chapter_main.qmd"
    - summary.qmd
  appendices:
    - app1.qmd
    - app2.qmd
   chapters:
    -  publications.qmd
  date: "01 June 2026"
  date-format: "MMMM YYYY"
bibliography: references.bib
format:
  pdf:
    documentclass: scrbook
    toc: true
    toc-title: Contents

I mean the location of chapter if possible should be customization.

Also I already tried pasting it at the end of app2.qmd. The issue is the items in publications.qmd (enumerate items) gets numbering from appendix

my publications.qmd

```{=latex}
\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\setcounter{tocdepth}{-1}} 
%\makeatletter\@openrightfalse
```
