Hi Scriveners ! I’m new to this wonderful app . I purchased the iPad version , I have an iPad Pro 13" M4 and love write on it and love Scrivener on iPad . I’m working on a novel and it cover all my need but … I would like to better organise my present and future works . Unfortunately , Scrivener on iPadOS has no template features , I cannot create theme nor import them into my app .
But there is always a way . If some good soul save a new project from templates in latest MacOS or Windows apps (so to have a .scriv package ) and zip them , they could be used on iPad as pre made projects , so as templates .
I would like to have some Save The Cat , Hero’s Journey , 23/33 Chapters plot structure and so on pre made projects , do you know where to find them or better yet do you want to share some with me ? I’ll promise I will make good use .
thanks in advance for your appreciated support !

I’m sure someone will be able to create a ‘template’ like working project for you to adapt.
But because it’s so easy to adapt templates (with the desktop version) there’s usually more than one version, so rather than us having to decide which you’d prefer, it would be easier if you identify the ones you want and post the links here.
For example, a quick Google search for ‘Scrivener Save the Cat template’ shows that there are at least two and probably more variants out there. I don’t actually use any of them, so can’t recommend one over another.
Let us know which templates you would like converted and I’m sure somebody will help.

Thanks for the reply !
Unfortunately I’ve done a lot of searches through the net , only to find template formats of Save The Cat , so unusable for iPad .
I mainly go looking for Hero’s Journey story structure project and , and yes Save the Cat (the one of Jen terpstra , looks cool and useful)
(Mods: I assume this is acceptable on the forum. If not, I apologise and please delete…)
OK, well here’s a zipped copy of a project created from the free Jen Terpstra Save the Cat template.
To the best of my knowledge, it is available for public use, but you have to sign up to her newsletter to get the template.
Therefore, please go to her site and sign up yourself: Free Scrivener template for novel plotting with Save the Cat! — Jen Terpstra! before you use the template.
Unzip it and download it into your iPad Scrivener folder in the normal way, then duplicate it every time you want a new project.
Please note, I haven’t made any changes to the template – I’ve just created a new project from it. Obviously, none of the desktop-specific features will work, but you should be able to follow the basic structure.
