Editing text in the synopsis

This is where the Navigate ▸ Open ▸ with Compilable Subdocuments menu command can come in handy. And the fact that this menu command exists (along with the ability to opt out any item from compiling) is evidence that having an outline that consists of both notes and export material is part of the core design.

I never noticed this option, it’s super slick!

@AmberV

It’s also worth noting that all of the statistics tools have settings for not counting text in document with the Include in Compile checkbox disabled, too—and most of these settings are enabled by default.

@AmberV, please correct me if I’m mistaken about this, but I believe your point here about Include in Compile settings and statistics does not apply to word counts in the Outliner. So, unfortunately, interspersing notes with scenes in the draft folder will be problematic for folks like me who use Silverdragon’s method of monitoring pace by applying Outliner word counts against the Save the Cat beat sheet. Hence my advisory to the OP.

Best,
Jim
