Scrivener is a word processor and project management tool designed for users who need to handle large amounts of text content.

Scrivener combines a text editor, information organization tools, and project management features into one, allowing you to organize your text, images, inspirations, and notes neatly and access them quickly at any time. You can centrally store and manage text, images, links, PDF documents, and even audio files in a single project.

Scrivener offers a rich and powerful set of features suitable for a variety of creative scenarios, making it popular among writers, screenwriters, researchers, technical document authors, journalists, and university students as well as primary and secondary school students.

Scrivener’s biggest strengths include its powerful material organization capability. You can create any number of projects (for example, a book is a project), and within each project, create multiple folders to categorize and manage content. For instance, you can place different parts of a book into separate folders, and then create individual chapters within them.

Any writing work relies on material collection and research. When you create a new Scrivener project, the system automatically generates a Research folder for storing various reference materials. In addition to text notes, you can save multiple types of content such as PDF documents, audio files, and images.

Scrivener has an autosave feature, so even if you encounter unexpected situations like a power outage, you don’t have to worry about losing content. More importantly, it also provides a Snapshot feature. With snapshots, you can save multiple historical versions of a document and restore to previous versions at any time as needed. Snapshots can be applied to an entire document, or you can save them for just a specific section.
