thank you for this vid. I can't tell you how much time i spent trying to get the compile to work on Scrivener 3. You are the only one that explains the whole project settings. again thank you so much.. I recommend that any one using Scrivener 3 has got to see this vid. it will save you so much time and aggravation. I should know. god bless you.......
Awww, thank you so much for the lovely comment 🥰 I’m thrilled that it helped you so much. I’m on hiatus for a month or two, but let me know if there’s any other aspect of Scrivener 3 you struggle with, and when I’m back I’ll consider making a video on it. Thanks again for your comment. Happy writing 😁
I'm so sorry I didn't reply until now. I didn't see your comment for some reason. I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Are you talking about being able to edit one chapter while you can see a different one? If so, yes. :) You could use the Toggle Split icon to split the editing window into two. The toggle is in the top right corner of the editing pane. It looks like a little square cut in half, next to an up and down arrow. Click it again to go back to viewing just one document in the pane. I'll make a quick video showing it an related navigation tricks. If editing goes well, I'll post it to my channel today or tomorrow. Again, so sorry I didn't see your comment. If I ever disappear like that and you need a question answered, you can always message me on Twitter or Instagram @mwinklerbooks. :)
First, thank you for this -- I was not getting anywhere with L&L's tutorial, re: compiling. Your video explained it all perfectly. Second: congrats on the book! I'm self-publishing my debut in the spring. Subscribed.
Thank you SO MUCH for your help. I wish Scrivener had better, more interactive documentation in it, The official manual is super huge and frankly not as objective as it could, sometimes developers forget to give plenty of examples on its own documentation. I was able to compile my ebook, import it on my Kindle and it works perfectly, after your first explanation of the Layouts, how they work, and all that I was able to figure it out the rest by myself. There's plenty to test and mess around with to learn every single option, because just like you said: A lot of the examples make us confused about how they would work, but as long as we have any reader on our PCs to check the files after compiling, we can do it as many times as we need. Thank you again for your help, I'm going to save this video to check on it later if I ever forget how to configure the layouts again!
This was so useful! As a longtime Scrivener user (since 2007!), I've really struggled with the new Compile interface - it may be better in the long run, but I never had to assign section types to documents before so that really wasn't intuitive and I've had a lot of Compile disasters! Now I understand that I should probably set up the sections before I even think about compiling, it's going to be a lot easier 😀
I'm so glad I was able to help. Thanks for commenting to let me know :) Having to assign section types is a bit of an odd step to have to take, in my opinion. I also was confused by it at first. Good luck with your writing and compiling.
That was super helpful! Thank you! I was tearing my hair out trying to set up a novella that I wrote in the short story template into one with chapters and parts.
Yay! I’m so glad I could help 🥰 Scrivener is a fantastic program, but it’s not very intuitive. Let me know if there’s anything else you’d like a video on. I hope to be making new videos soon 🤞
You're so welcome Joyce :) Next to writing, compiling is probably the most complicated part of creating a book. So many choices! I will probably do a step by step compile video soon.
Thanks for this. I watched a few others. It still took me a while to figure out how to tell Scrivener what chapters etc to include in the compile. It's not an intuitive program. Just about ready for Beta readers for my first novel. I'll use Book Funnel.
Hi! Thank you for a great video. Helped me a lot :) I followed all the steppes, and it worked perfectly. Almost. Chapter 1 is whiteout an indent, but chapters 2 and later all have one, and I need help finding how to change it. I found the boxes in the options that should fix the problem, but it doesn't work. Any advice?
I’m not sure without seeing it. If you sent me a private message on Twitter or Instagram (@mwinklerbooks) I can give you my email so you can send a screenshot. I’d be happy to help if I can. I appreciate your comment and hope we can solve this 😊
If you feel stuck in Windows, (like you cannot leave because all your programs function on a Windows environment only), there is hope for those of us who are die hard Scrivener 3 users and want to stick with a Linux based operating system. This can be achieved by downloading the Lutris gaming app in Linux and accessing Scrivener 3 in the software, running the program and setting up your license through Literature and Latte direct through the software like you would in Windows, (Phew, run on!!). Keep in mind, this is not pirating, nor is it illegal. Linux is a 100% free and open source operating system with hundreds of different alternatives. But we have found ways to run our Windows software very well without the spying. (Sorry, Michelle. Just a geek and writer who is excited about the Scrivener 3 working on Linux)
Thanks for commenting. I think you'd probably have to make your changes before compiling. Or you could compile into a Word doc and make your changes there. Did that answer your question?
That's a great question. I struggled for a long time to figure it out. On the right side panel (inspector panel) in the top section that says 'Synopsis' look to the right and you'll see a tiny index card icon. click on it and it will switch to a picture icon. Then you can just drag an image file into the space below it. If you have any issues, let me know and I'll upload a quick video showing it. :) Hope that helps.
That's the first time anyone's asked to hire me out of the blue! I'm honored. :) Unfortunately, I have to decline. I struggled so much formatting my own book, I'm not comfortable having someone pay me to do theirs. My suggestion is to look on fivrr or ask around to see who other authors used and liked. I wish you the best of luck on it though. I'm sure you'll find someone. :)
Sorry about that. I do the best I can, but you’re right, this one was pretty bad. I’m trying to get back to filming soon and I’ll see what I can do to make them better.
@@MWinklerBooks Your voice comes across just fine, and the info looks good. Only problem is the music track which is distracting. I don't know why RUclips creators feel like every video has to have "tunes." But thanks for putting together a helpful video.
Ahh, I see. I believe that's a personal preference. I've seen some videos without music (other than briefly at the intro) and others with music playing throughout. It doesn't bother me either way as long as the music is low enough so I can hear them talking. If it's too loud to understand them it definitely bugs me. Since my channel is still small and my music is added post-production, I could try uploading 2 versions, one with background music and one without? I've had videos without music and it feels very awkward for me. But I don't want some of my listeners to be annoyed by my content LOL In any case, I'm glad you found the info useful. If you ever request a specific video from me I'll be sure to upload it without background music for you :)

Michelle there is a part of Scribner where you can have two pages on it the same time where you edit one chapter but it's on two pages for editing

Thanks! I could not figure out 'heading' and 'section.' Makes so much more sense to call them chapter and scene!
Thanks for the comment :) I'm so glad I could help.

I'm so glad! :) Thanks for watching and the comment.

There’s a lot there, there and I’m no where close to compiling SO, I will be checking out this video again! Thanks Michelle! 🙂
You're so welcome Joyce :)
Next to writing, compiling is probably the most complicated part of creating a book. So many choices! I will probably do a step by step compile video soon.
Thank you! This is the best explanation I've found.
Thanks so much! I’m glad I could help 🥰
😊 You made it very easy to understand. Perfect. Make more with windows.
Thank you, I'm so happy it helped. I am planning to make more. I just haven't had time to film and edit. Hopefully soon. :)
Thank you. So very helpful.
You’re welcome 🥰
Very helpful - thank you 😃
You’re welcome. So happy I could help 😁
This definitely save my life! Thank you so much. I subscribed to your channel. I'll check your books too. Please make more Scrivener 3 tutorials! :)
I'm so glad I was able to help. Thanks so much for subscribing :) I'm scripting videos to return soon.
Thanks for this. I watched a few others. It still took me a while to figure out how to tell Scrivener what chapters etc to include in the compile. It's not an intuitive program. Just about ready for Beta readers for my first novel. I'll use Book Funnel.
I'm so glad I was able to help. Congrats on being close to Betas, that's a great milestone. Thanks for the view and comment

In windows 3- How to do you rework or change title page of paperback book?
Thanks for commenting.
I think you'd probably have to make your changes before compiling. Or you could compile into a Word doc and make your changes there. Did that answer your question?
@@MWinklerBooksyes thank you
Thanks hun, this has helped alot ;) Sunshine
Aww, you're welcome :)
how do you add your cover picture into scrivener?
That's a great question. I struggled for a long time to figure it out.
On the right side panel (inspector panel) in the top section that says 'Synopsis' look to the right and you'll see a tiny index card icon. click on it and it will switch to a picture icon. Then you can just drag an image file into the space below it. If you have any issues, let me know and I'll upload a quick video showing it. :) Hope that helps.
Michelle, Can I hire you to format my new manuscript?
That's the first time anyone's asked to hire me out of the blue! I'm honored. :)
Unfortunately, I have to decline. I struggled so much formatting my own book, I'm not comfortable having someone pay me to do theirs. My suggestion is to look on fivrr or ask around to see who other authors used and liked.
I wish you the best of luck on it though. I'm sure you'll find someone. :)
Thank you :)
Happy to help 🥰
This is like the best tutorial about compiling but it’s hard to hear with all that noise. Please don’t use music in tutorials when you’re speaking.
Thanks so much for the feedback. It feels awkward to me when there's silence, but I'll try it on the next video. :)
poor sound
Sorry about that. I do the best I can, but you’re right, this one was pretty bad. I’m trying to get back to filming soon and I’ll see what I can do to make them better.
