So, if I wished to title items in the binder more fully and not have them truncated I could toggle on wraparound feature to add as much information as necessary. I recognize I could easily expand the file or folder titles in the binder to see more info, but that takes up too much screen space that’s necessary for writing. Thank you for your consideration. ---

We might go in that direction in the future, as a toggle, but for now it’s good to know that this capability already exists in the main Outliner view. For example, click on the Draft folder, and then switch the view mode to Outline with Ctrl/⌘3. Not only will that wrap the titles, it will give you way more space to display them in so that you may not even see much wrapping to begin with. It will also interleave synopses with the titles by default. You can then split the main editor view to have both your text and the outliner visible at once, and maybe even close the binder temporarily to give yourself even more space. Or alternatively you can get used to the shortcuts for swapping between outliner and scrivenings view (1 and 3 respectively), so that navigation and writing are done in the same space in a toggle form. > I recognize I could easily expand the file or folder titles in the binder to see more info, but that takes up too much screen space that’s necessary for writing. Space is exactly the problem though. It’s got to be used somewhere. If it isn’t taking up horizontal width than it is taking up vertical height. ---

Thank you very much for your reply. I’m going to bat your ideas around and see if they help me see more deeply into my text. For what it’s worth, I believe I’ve been using Scrivener for 15 years or more. I’m completing my fourth novel using Scrivener. Using the app, I’ve always have tried to keep it simple. But fundamentally, “simple” is at the core of Scrivener, a wonderfully complex writing tool. ---

Essentially, you’re suggesting the use of the Outliner in place of the less agile Binder. Yes? ---

Yup, pretty much! Here are some further tips on the idea: - [A sample project (or actually a template)](https://forum.literatureandlatte.com/t/94004/11) that demonstrates this way of using the project window. So while that is not quite what you’re doing, it _does_ demonstrate just how minimally we can pare down the interface. That left outliner split doesn’t need to have ten columns, and a bunch of buttons above and below it, it can be _almost_ as minimal as the binder. - [Navigation tips for outliner+editor work](https://www.reddit.com/r/scrivener/comments/128hwju/new_user_testing_scrivener_the_outliner_has_some/jej8c32/). - And of course, don’t forget about Layouts. Save your standard setup, and this “super binder” setup, and easily switch between them.
