Newbie Q: How to cross-reference text across documents? (V3 Beta)

Scrivener Scrivener for Windows
1

Hi,

I’m just getting started with Scrivener (figured I’d go straight to the Beta) and I’m very impressed. I’m just hoping that some kind person here can help me figure out how I would go about a particular workflow.

The Challenge
Let’s say I am writing about apples. I have two source documents in my Research folder, one in Word and one in PDF. Each document has information about apples in different places spread out throughout the document. I want to take each snippet of information from these source documents, add my own comments to it, and then organize these snippets/comments so that I can write my own overall summary. I also want to be able to go back easily to the original documents and quickly jump to the source snippets so I can see more context around them if necessary.

Can anyone suggest how I might do this? The document/project bookmark functionality and the Research section of the Binder only allow me to refer to whole documents, not individual parts of them.

Thanks to anyone who can help me understand how I might do this!

…Jay

Got it. I didn’t know if this was a Beta question or a question of standard functionality that I just didn’t understand. I’ll copy it over there. Thanks for your help!
