Volumes and episodes

Write your manuscript as episodes, and group episodes into volumes. Everything happens in the manuscript explorer, which opens when you click Manuscripts on the ribbon.

Create an episode

1. Click the New episode icon above the manuscript explorer. You can also right-click an empty area of the list and click New episode.
2. Enter the Episode title. If you leave it empty, the number becomes the title.
3. Choose a volume in Select volume.
4. Click Create episode.

The episode number continues after the last number in your manuscript.

Create a volume

1. Click the New folder icon above the manuscript explorer. You can also right-click an empty area and click New volume.
2. Enter a volume name and press Enter.

A volume is a folder inside the project’s manuscript folder.

Move an episode to another volume

Drag the episode onto another volume. If that volume already has an episode with the same name, it won’t move.

Rename

• Episode: right-click → Rename
• Volume: right-click → Rename volume

The episode title is stored in the file name, so renaming also renames the file. To change the episode number, see Episode properties.

Delete

• Episode: right-click → Delete
• Volume: right-click → Delete volume. The episodes inside are deleted too.

Deleted files go to your computer’s trash (Recycle Bin). You can restore them from there.

Sort and filter

Click the Sort manuscripts icon above the manuscript explorer.

• Sort: By episode, By episode (reverse), Recently modified
• Filter by writing status: Show only episodes that are Drafting, Done, or Published. Click Clear filter to show all.

Clean up file names

Episode files made in other programs may use a different naming format. Right-click an empty area and click Clean up file names… to rename them to the number_title format. You’ll see the list of changes first.
