Thanks, this was really helpful. I've been using Scrivener for some time but this is the first I've learned how to use split screen, snapshots and most importantly comparing snapshots. Also really useful to know I can change the character and scene templates-I previously deleted them because I found them messy, but now I can tailor them to my preferences it’s going to be very useful. And I didn’t realise we could change the label colours. Maybe I shouldn’t say I’ve been using Scrivener for a long time because I've only been using its most superficial word processing! So thanks rey much and I'm going to look up your books too!

This was incredibly helpful. I've since gone through and pretty much experimented with everything - and set things up how they work for me. Really appreciate this video.
I still can't change the "Font size and style" as and where I want on Scrivener. How do I do this on existing and for future work. Any Ideas, a Is have tried the standard instructions and failed miserably.
Hmm. That's a great idea for a video. I'll make it at some point, I think. Snapshots play a part, for sure. I snapshot all scrivenings after each major milestone. But the larger part is sort of organizing what's immature and needs work , what sort of work it needs, etc. I would have been collecting editing notes all along the way, so I'll organize them, put serious thought to what I need to tackled on the next draft to shore up the story's biggest weaknesses, then dive in.
This video was in-depth and informative. Thank you. In the past, I have used Scrivener extensively as a database to manage my notes but I have moved to Obsidian now for note-making and research. I am currently interested in using Scrivener to manage my writing projects. My question is about managing blog posts or short stories. Would you recommend different Scrivener projects for each short story or is it possible to have multiple sections, one for each story, or perhaps you think it might be best to handle each story like a chapter in a longer work?
Regarding short stories, I think it could be done either way, though in the past I've always opted for separate Scrivener files for each. The pro is simple clarity of what each file contains and is meant for. But one con is that if the short stories are in the same world, it's sometimes cumbersome to have reference info (backstory, setting. etc.) in separate files. It forces me to either copy those files to each new file (cumbersome, but not overly so) or leave them in a single reference Scriv file. In short, either way can work but might depend on how "linked" the stories are. On blog posts, I never considered Scrivener for it since there are so many features that likely won't apply to writing like that. My suspicion is that something like Notion would work better for that sort of thing.
I used Scrivener for my blog posts, back when I had a blog, because I could draft there, keep research, notes, and images there, (mand interlink them. After it was published, I would then drag the final version from ny website in to keep as an archive. I kept them all in one project, so I didn't have to think much when I wanted to go looking for one.
True. And it doesn’t seem like it would be that much of a stretch. But I’m sure ongoing support and the costs associated with it are part of the calculus here.
@@bradley.p.beaulieu I've sent an email asking them about a Linux version. Their response is no, there isn't one, there won't be one, but some people have used Scrivener on Linux via Wine.
Thank you for your time in being thorough and recognizing needs to illustrate in other videos as well. Excellent job!
Thanks so much! I have a background in tech education. Hopefully that's served me well here, too.

I'm so glad it helped! It's a difficult tool to get your head around but super useful once you do.
Great video (wish the background music were a little lower)
I'll adjust that down in future videos. Thanks.

You’re very welcome.
This was so helpful to me! I've subscribed and I look forward to more videos.

This is fantastic info, thanks for sharing!

I want to see your workflow for doing a second draft. Do you just do this with snapshots?
Hmm. That's a great idea for a video. I'll make it at some point, I think.

It would be awesome to have an official Linux release of Scrivener...

I don't use apple, scrivener socks with non apple computers or phones
