Scrivener is an excellent writing software that provides various writing assistance functions, such as annotating multiple documents, overview introductions, full screen editing, snapshots, etc. It can easily and conveniently assist authors in the entire writing process from ideation, data collection, organizational structure, addition, deletion, modification to layout output.

As a professional writing software, Scrivener's directory function is very powerful and flexible. After opening a new project, you will see the binder bar or directory tree on the left side of the interface. The root directory of the binder defaults to three folders, namely "Drafts", "Investigations", and "Garbage Bin". Draft "and" research "are easy to understand, with the former used to place the content of writing and the latter to place the collected information.

Full screen writing

Full screen writing is a common feature in various writing software. In full screen mode, you can set text zoom, paper position (center, left, right), paper width, and light background by yourself.

In full screen mode, the software defaults to typewriter mode, which means that the line being inputted will automatically be placed in the middle of the screen, and there is no need to wait until it reaches the bottom of the screen. The content will jump up line by line, which is quite user-friendly.

Of course, in non full screen mode, you can also set the typewriter scrolling mode by yourself. In addition, it is very convenient to directly use keyword search, viewer, and document jump functions in full screen mode.

Note taking function

Generally speaking, Scrivener has three types of notes: document notes, engineering notes, and memo pads.

1. Document notes

Document notes belong to a single document and can only be seen within the corresponding document.

1. Engineering Notes

Engineering notes are the notes of the entire project. Suitable for placing commonly used materials in current projects.

1. Memo book

A notepad is equivalent to a loose leaf notebook, shared by all Scrvener projects. Its content can be sent to any designated location in any project at any time.
