"When in doubt, Sync!" That could be a life motto lmao 🤣 I love using the mobile app on my phone but I wish it had same as aesthetic with the inspector and binder as the desktop. I am thinking of getting an iPad Pro with my tax refunds for video edits and better mobile writing experience. Was curious if the aesthetics were fancier on the iPad but looks like the same as iPhone. Still looks incredibly useful though for writing! Great video 👍

Haha - it's certainly one of my mottos... and yup, I think the app is relatively the same as the mobile version. Which is, of course, why I also prefer the desktop. I love all that complex functionality. But it's lovely for working on the go!

I have the iPad as my traveling ‘laptop’ with the Logitech keyboard/case combo on the 10.9 inch. So when I saw that Scriv was for the iPad, I grabbed it and have since moved to Scrivener from Google Docs. Now I still have the Google Docs as a backup, I usually copy paste into the google doc before I finish for the day. I am LOVING Scrivener for background stuff like the character docs, the plot docs, research docs and all of that jazz. It has been a lifesaver and just about time as it’s PREPTOBER! As of this comment. I will most likely be using the app to run my NaNoWriMo 2023 story, that I sorta already started, but have barely 1400 words on. Barely over a 20th of the 50k….

I’ve been using the scrivener app on my ipad for a few years now--I’m CONSTANTLY hyping it to everyone, I’m so glad you love it too! It really is freeing. Great video, I’m so glad to have stumbled on your channel, insta subscribe

This is super useful and explained very straight forward. Thank you for that!

Thank you for the great advice. I’ve been using Scrivener exclusively on my Ipad because that’s what I prefer to use, but I’m having difficulty navigating Scrivener on it. I’m going to try using it on my Mac laptop and will hopefully enjoy the interface there more.

Hi there. I am just getting started on my novel and came across this video. I am going to check out scrivener and see how it works for me. Thanks for the information. I will watch for further videos that you publish!

So helpful, I was just thinking about upgrading my old iPad for work and writing purposes… and was wondering about functionality!

Well doneJessica. Very clear and concise.

Thanks for a great video! I especially liked your emphasis on save/synch/close!

FYI, scrivener syncs better with Grammarly than Word. Although there is a grammarly for word, you are limited in the document size and you don’t get the full pro version of grammarly. You might want to do a video on using grammarly with Scrivener. It’s cool.

Thanks for the feedback! I’ve heard this, but have yet to dive into the grammarly pool - I’ll have to try it out and work it into my process 🙏

Thanks for this. Will check it out in detail. As a king-time user of Scrivener, I was very excited, then immediately disappointed, when the iOS version came out. Syncing was just so fiddly and I messed up a couple of (thankfully) test projects. Now I’d like a second look but to my amazement Scrivener has no recent video tutorial, which I hope doesn’t mean they haven’t updated the sync feature since back then. It’s still a great application but I’m getting tired of writing hundreds of bits and pieces in the Notes app and then struggling to put them into some kind of order back at my desk. Let’s see. But thanks anyway for a well-presented tutorial.

Excellent video, very educational. Thanks very much.

I’m new to Scrivener - thanks for this info!! :)

Jessica, outstanding video and I am a new subscriber. You describe working with the iPad and Scrivener using only dropbox and also describing the synchronization issues caused by Dropbox, which my Dropbox account is littered with double folders and synchronization issues that have rendered using dropbox less than ideal. I have gone away from Dropbox and I’m using Microsoft one drive which synchronizes much better and has terrific search features based on OCR. Is there any way to set the iPad up using OneDrive instead of dropbox? So far I have not found a way. Appreciate your input and look forward to your future videos and watching some of your past videos. Thank you

Thank you for this video! I’m curious what your recommendation would be: I can only afford Scrivener on one platform, either my desktop PC or my iPad. Which would you suggest I buy Scrivener on?

@JessicaLynnMedina

Well that really depends on how you enjoy working... I love having the multi-panel options in order to see the overview of all my notes and plot work while I'm drafting, so personally I'd choose the desktop/PC version. The iPad has less functionality that way, but obviously is lovely to have on the go. Hope that helps! 💕

Hi Jessica, thank u for your patience tutorial. Do you think is it possible saved and sync the same file on Dropbox but overwriting it and not with different files each time ?

Very useful video 🙌 I only have an iPad Pro since I’m always traveling. I was worried that the app hasn’t been updated but it doesn’t seem to be a problem.

Does anyone know how to organize pages in the iPad version? I’ve recently bought it but I find it very frustrating to not be able to see how my text looks on the actual pages of the book. I tried a web research but couldn’t find an answer. I’d like to add/remove pages, see a preview so that I can see if the line of a paragraph ends up being alone in a new page f.i

I’m so glad you found it helpful! I haven’t run into any issues with the age of the app. Of course, Scrivener is notorious for taking years to unroll new versions. But it has never impacted the functionality as far as I’m concerned - it all works and syncs great!

I actually switched from Scrivener to Ulysses because I didn't want to use Dropbox. If Scrivener would sync with iCloud, I might go back.

@JessicaLynnMedina

Yeah, it's interesting they only have the one provider for a syncing option. But I assume this avenue means they have less maintenance to do for bugs/fixes. And of course, people can use it across platforms (PC and Mac).

Hi is it possibile overwriting the same file ? When I saved from my MacBook Pro I saw that there’s always a new one and the space on Dropbox is small . Could you help me ?

how to setup Scrivener word count ipad pro?

Hello. I'm using Scrivener 3 for Windows, and I'm curious as how you were able to change the highlight color in the binder section. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you. :)

Sorry for the late reply - easy fix for this! That is the designated color of the label I've assigned. So first you'll need to right click on the section you want to label and assign the label (they'll have an associated color). Then to get it to display, you go to the menu at the top to control the display. Click on: View --> Use Label Color In --> Binder. And huzzah! It should should show straight away. Hope that helps!

Thanks for much for letting me know OneDrive works well! I know there's the option to use other services, but Scrivener has written that Dropbox is the most reliable so that's what I went with. Nice to know there are other cloud options that don't have any issues. 💕

Hello there, first of all: Thank you for the nice video. It was very informative for me to watch and brought me nearer to Scrivener. The video is put nicely together, content and audio is pretty smooth and you do a great job moderating it. I am currently trying to get a bit more into writing, all of my ideas and projects are at this time stored in word documents. Scrivener came across my view when i was learning on Udemy lately, i saw an regarding course and since then i am trying to get more and more information and points of views / reviews. I think i am just downloading it later this day and try to test the demo a bit. Maybe this software can enhance my writing game so i can someday publish one of my ideas. Edit: I will absolutely try it on ipad i actually enjoy the demo on pc and i will keep you updated on what my opinion as an absolute beginner is, after i tried it 🙂 Thanks again! Have a nice day and stay safe. Greetings from Germany.
