I have created a 1540 page map series I would like to add a title page to and an index page. How can I do this?

Do I need to add 2 blank rows to my index layer

Some time ago, I read about future plans for a "Map Book" feature being added to Pro, specifically for adding other features like covers and indices. No idea if/when that's happening, but right now, you can't do that with a Map Series. The easiest thing would be to create those pages separately and use another program to merge the PDFs together.

Alternatively, you could do all of this in ArcPy, but it's a lot of trial and error, and harder to preview changes.

Right after I posted this thread I thought about creating another 11x17 layout as a title page and index page. 
Thanks for the reply!
