Anyone using Google Documents Track Changes and Scrivener

I’m looking to work with an editor and have my master files in Scrivener. Does anyone have experience exporting their scrivener files to Google Documents in order to work with an editor? One concern of mine is losing meta deta .

Once you export your files, they are no longer part of the Scrivener project. If you re-import them, they’ll look just like any other new imported file: any Scrivener-specific metadata will be lost.

That’s true regardless of the outside editor used.

No 1: Don’t let Google Docs anywhere near any of your Scrivener project files.

No 2: Compile your draft to RTF (if Google Docs will open RTF) or DOCX, and let them work on that. When they have done it, if they’ve used Track Changes continue to work with them in Google Docs, or come back here and check some of the many threads discussing how to continue in Scrivener … though it’s normally in the context of Word, rather than Google Docs.

PS Katherine is less long-winded and got in first! :smiley:

Thank you, Friendlies!

I found this article which could be a workaround on working with an editor.
