I am trying to use a Latex template which for whatever reason is always putting figures at the end even though I have one section (Appendix) written after the command to input figures. Any idea how to move the figures before the last section ? There are a lot of other files part of the template package that I don't understand. I am trying to compile this on Overleaf.

Here is the sequence of commands

\makeaffiliation

\input{aktomo_figs}


\clearpage


\section{Appendix A1 blah blah blah}


Text in that section


\end{document}

The file aktomo_figs.tex has figures in the following format

%\clearpage\pagebreak
\begin{figure}
\includegraphics[width=16cm]{figures/fig1.jpg}
\caption[Figure description here]
{
Description of the figure blah blah blah
\label{fig:figg1}
}
\end{figure}

When I compile this Overleaf always plots the figures at the end even though there is supposed to be a section after that. Any idea how to fix this ? Thanks.

    Welcome to TeX.SX! The placement of figures depends on many factors, among them document class, settings in the preamble, text width, and more. So please provide a complete small document, starting with \documentclass and ending with \end{document}, that illustrates your problem. Otherwise the people here will not be able to give advice. – gernot Feb 07 '21 at 19:42

    a figure will never go past \clearpage (unless you use a package like endfloat that always moves all figures to the end as required by some journal submission formats. – David Carlisle Feb 07 '21 at 22:03
  • wow you are absolutely right @DavidCarlisle. unfortunately removing endfloat screws up all the figures, the captions extend all the way to the edge of the page. i just submitted the paper as it was, hopefully the journal would not mind the Appendix being before the figures. – Guddu Feb 08 '21 at 02:16

    If endfloat is part of a publisher's document class or template, don't mess with it. They want the figures at the end. – John Kormylo Feb 08 '21 at 05:59
