Footnotes

Scrivener Scrivener for macOS

Hi All!

Just downloaded the new version, signed into the form and I must say, it looks brilliant. Good Job!

I imported the file I am currently working on from the old version and everything went really well so far. However, the new footnote system and the old one seem not to be very compatible. I can’t edit the old footnotes or change the old footnote into the new footnote system. Once I click on an old footnote there is no way to hit the new footnote button.
Is there any way how I can change the old footnotes to the new system that I can easily work with them?

Hope the problem is understood. Working on a large research piece, this is quite important. Thanks for your help!

You can use either system in the new version, so the old footnotes system is still around for those who prefer it, and they are left as-is by default. By you can convert them by using the Format > Convert > Inline Footnotes to Inspector Footnotes.

Hope that helps.

All the best,
Keith
