Over the years, somehow, my Scrivener templates and manuscript files have ended up in different places on my drive. Now I’m reconfiguring backup and I would like to know
a. Where should I ideally put each type of file
b. Can I simply do a drag and drop to relocate each type
look under the Setup and Safety heading
Yes, you can drag and drop files and folders to relocate things. That’s a Mac (or Windows) thing, not a Scrivener thing.
Just to be safe:
- Make a backup first.
- Make sure Scrivener is closed at the time.
- Make sure that you’re dragging complete .scriv folders, not components like the .scrivx file.
- Clear Scrivener’s Recent Projects menu when you’re done, as it will still point to the old locations.
