Interface and navigation

Parts of the window

• Top bar — the path “Library / Series · number / Book”, search ⌘K, save status and panel buttons.
• Mode bar on the left — Library, Writing, Planning, Editing, Publishing. At the bottom: help, “Save Version”, and the data folder.
• Left panel — the contents of the current mode: manuscript structure, planning tabs, editing filters, editions.
• Center — the workspace.
• Right panel (inspector) — properties of the selected scene or character.

Path and switching books

The path at the top always shows the open book and changes with it. In the Library only “Library” is shown.

• Click the book title to open the list of books in your library and pick another one to switch. “All Books…” and “Import EPUB…” are there too.
• Click the series or Library to go back to the shelves.

Panels

Action	How
Hide or show the right panel	] (when the cursor is not in the text) or ⌘]
Hide or show the left panel	[ (when the cursor is not in the text) or ⌘[
Focus mode — text only	⌥⌘F

A single [ or ] does not interfere with typing: while the cursor is in the text, they are typed as usual. ⌘[ and ⌘] always work.

Search and commands

⌘K opens the palette. With no query it lists modes and commands. With a query it finds scenes, characters, locations, books and help articles; from three characters on, it also searches the full text of the book. Choosing a match opens the scene and places the cursor on it.
