Scrivener 3 Review
Scrivener 3 is Finally Here
Some of Scrivener 3’s Features:
The interface has been overhauled and modernised.
Compile has been redesigned and is now not only much easier to use but also more flexible.
The text system now has a full styles system (which is even more powerful when used with the new Compile).
View index cards on coloured threads based on label colour (great for tracking different storylines or anything else).
Epub 3 and improved Kindle export have been added.
Keep track of how much you write each day using Writing Statistics. [image error]
Improved Custom Metadata allows you to add checkboxes, dates and list boxes to the Inspector and outliner.
Enhanced outlining.
Corkboard and outliner filtering.
Refer to up to four documents in the main window using the new “Copyholders” features.
Quickly find any document in your project using the new Quick Search tool.
See draft and session progress bars in the toolbar.
The powerful new Bookmarks feature replaces Project Notes, References and Favorites, and allows you to view oft-needed documents right in the Inspector.
Use “Dialogue Focus” to pick out all the dialogue in your text.
Export rich text to MultiMarkdown or Pandoc. [image error]
Broadened support for technical formats via Markdown output and custom post-processing.
macOS:
Extensive Touch Bar support added.
Modernised and rewritten codebase for 64-bit. Scrivener is faster, more stable and ready for the future.
Much, much more.
As of today, Scrivener 3 officially available for download on Mac OS. Let’s be clear, this major upgrade is more than a mere fresh coat of paint on an old classic. [image error]
Of course, you still get all the main features that the popular creative suite has become known for: flexibility and control of your formatting, the corkboard, outliner, exporting features, and templates. More than that though, Literature and Latte has envisioned a better workflow, and enabled more visibility, and control into your writing and research.
I’ll be posting a more in-depth review of Scrivener as I’ve had an opportunity to spend some time with it, but for now, here’s a list of some of the exciting updates and new features included with Scrivener 3.
