Compile collection from multiple documents

I’ve searched for this and asked around, but do not think it’s possible. I mostly want to confirm that (Or, get the correct terminology so that I can find instructions).

Scenario: I have a sizable number of Scrivener projects that are individual short stories and poems. I want to create a collection. I know that I can copy these individual projects into a new project to compile them, but then if I change the original, I have to re-copy them.

My question is really: Is there a way to link to the original project so that the “compilation project” is a list of references, rather than copies? In other words, is there a way to create a compilation so that I don’t have to edit/update both copies or make sure I re-copy the edited version?

I’m sorry, no, this isn’t possible. Your best bet might be to simply merge (drag and drop) all of the items into a single project and go from there.

Thanks, Katherine. That was my suspicion, but it’s good to have it confirmed so I can just move along.
