Broken link and other problems in the Tutorial [BUG LOGGED]

In the Tutorial’s first page, the link to the vid tuto is broken:

WELCOME TO THE TUTORIAL
Hello, and welcome to Scrivener. I hope you find Scrivener a useful addition to the tools you use for writing. This tutorial is designed to get you up and running as quickly as possible by introducing you to Scrivener’s main features. For further help and a more comprehensive description of all of Scrivener’s features, please refer to the manual, which is available from the Help menu. You can also find video tutorials showing how to use various features of Scrivener here:

Thanks I will look into this.

[anyssia]

you’re welcome ^^

also, in page step 3: footer view :

Done that? You will see that the word and character count in the footer view changes as you type. Now try changing the percentage in the popup-button at the bottom, too (click on it and select a new percentage)—you will see that you can make the text bigger or smaller; useful for tired eyes.

either there is a problem with my version or the part about the magnifying glass should be highlighted in orange

Include in Draft, Page Break Before and Compile As-Is
These options affect how the document is compiled when you come to export or print the draft (which we will come to later). They only have any meaning if the document is contained inside the Draft folder. They are mostly self-explanatory: “Include in Compile” specifies whether the document should be included in or omitted from the draft when exported or printed; “Page Break Before” specifies whether the document should have a page break before it (useful if it marks the beginning of a chapter, for instance); “Compile As-Is” tells the compilation process not to change the formatting or insert a title for this particular document, no matter what the Compile settings are.

Should read “Include in Draft”

A quick way of searching for documents that have been assigned particular keywords is to select the keywords you want to search for in the Keywords HUD and then click on the “Search” button at the bottom. (If you hold down the Option key, the “Search” button will change to “Search All”, which will search for the selected keywords wherever they occur in the project, including text, notes and so on, rather than limiting the search to the keywords associated with documents.)

Option key? was that a Mac feature or should I have the equivalent on my PC?

You will hear the sound of a camera shutter which indicates that the snapshot has been taken. Let’s try that now…

Once you have taken a snapshot, you can edit your document safe in the knowledge that you can return to the old version any time you so wish. Click on the “Snapshots” button (the one with the picture of a camera on it) in the inspector footer bar to see what I mean (you can also view snapshots in their own window by going to Documents > Snapshots > Show Snapshots). The inspector now shows a list of snapshots at the top, which should consist of the one you took and one I took while writing the first version of this tutorial.

No camera shutter sounds on and there are no other snapshots already listed than the one I took

“ThisIsBuzzAldrin” is an audio file, so you won’t see much other than a media control bar in the lower part of the top pane (actually, that audio file is the beginning of the coolest phone message I ever picked up; sadly, the message was not for me).

Nothing happens when I clic ‘thisis…’ I only get a blank gray screen.

[EDIT] my mistake: I didn’t see the defilement barre at the very bottom of the main editor frame. I do hear the file when I clic the ‘read’ arrow.

I didn’t see any other snapshots either but I did hear the camera shutter.

From Step 13:

All files and folders that are supported by Scrivener will be imported, including subdirectories, maintaining the file structure from the Finder in the binder. (

Should be Explorer, obviously.

Right-clicking on an index card brings up a contextual menu that allows you to change the label (and thus the colour of the pin) and status - you can use the contextual menu to assign a label or status to multiple cards, too, by selecting the all the cards you wish to affect before Right-clicking on one of them.

I tried using this feature while being on the corkboard of part 2, but I didn’t add any pins or stamps, no matter which card I selected or which option (n/a, first draft, concept, chapter,…) I used.

[EDIT] Didn’t work with the tuto, but it works just fine with a new project
