Documents

Documents is where writing that does not belong to the Manuscript lives — setting bibles, plot notes, reference material.

Creating pages in Documents

Create them from the Add menu in the Documents area. The same menu sits in the header of the full-screen Documents table.

• Page: Creates an empty document page.
• Table template: Pick Synopsis, Treatment, Length plan, Foreshadowing tracker, Weekly plan, or Basic table, and start from a page with the table already filled in.
• Canvas: Creates a page you organize by visual layout. (See Canvas.)
• Folder: Creates a folder to hold pages.
• From file: Upload a file and bring it in as a document. (See Importing.)

Organizing with folders

Keep related pages together in a folder. Folders work in both the Manuscript and Documents. Drag a page in or out of a folder, or take it out with Move out in the page's ⋯ menu.

Sorting

The sort button above the Documents list changes the sort order or clears it. The default order is set under Document sorting — by number, by number descending, by update, or default — in Settings > Display.

View all

Press All in the sidebar to open Documents as a page list on one screen, title and date to a row. The Manuscript works the same way. Use it to scan everything at once, or to select several pages and move, delete, or export them together.
