While some of what the thread linked to below goes into may be a bit more advanced, from where you are right now, I would say it is worth clicking the bookmark icon on it so you can find it again when it does become relevant and the conversation clicks. For now it would be worth skimming it to see illustrations of two main things:

1. Scrivener has ample feature set for handling projects that are designed to export multiple discrete components (whatever that might be: articles, books, short stories, poems…).

2. As I note in one of my follow-ups there, this forum is absolutely stuffed with conversation on this matter, and all aspects surrounding it, from compile to practical usage to organisation tactics. But as a matter of finding them with the forum search tool, you should know most people, when phrasing such discussions, will use words like “trilogy” or “multiple books”.

> Hi there, I am new to Scrivener and just finished the tutorial today. After searching in the FAQ and reading some threads related to “multiple books in one project” I know, that this is possible (also the compiling), but still I would like to know, if there are any disadvantages of putting my four (later more) books (same topic) and my blog posts (same topic) in one project. Under which circumstances should I use five projects instead of one?
