There are a lot of similar posts to this but I have yet to find one that correctly solves my issue. The tl;dr is: How do I make `nomenclature` produce only a list of variables without producing a new chapter?

Long version:

I want to use the `nomencl` package to create a sorted list of variables in the first appendix chapter of my thesis. I am writing in Overleaf. 

The appendix package works fine on its own. In my main .tex file, I have 

```
\include{introduction}
...
\include{conclusion}
\appendix
\include{appa}
\include{appb}
\include{biblio}
\end{document}

```

My appendix files `appa` and `appb` both start with a chapter title. For example, `appb` begins with `\chapter{Figures}` which displays on the page as 

[![AppendixB on the Page](https://i.stack.imgur.com/onyjE.png)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/onyjE.png)

and in the table of contents as

[![AppendixA in ToC](https://i.stack.imgur.com/speag.png)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/speag.png)

The nomenclature package on its own works just fine. I define all of my variables and a new chapter containing a list appears where I place `\printnomenclature`. I only want the list though. It should appear on the page as 

Appendix A

Nomenclature

(list of nomenclature)

Because `\printnomenclature` starts a new chapter, if I write 

```
\chapter{Nomenclature}
\printnomenclature

```

in `appa` I end up with 

[![nomenclature wrong](https://i.stack.imgur.com/b8h2d.png)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/b8h2d.png)

with Chapter A: Nomenclature on page 55 and the list actually on page 57. It only appears in the ToC because I included `[intoc]` for the sake of illustration. I want everything to be on page 55 with the page itself appearing like Appendix B did in the first figure. How do I do this?

I tried various solutions from other posts to remove the chapter title on Page 57, but I couldn't find a way to prevent that chapter from being produced itself. As a result, I end up with skipped pages between the chapter title on page 55 and the list on page 57.
