Was wondering if someone with a MacBook or macdesktop could make me a project file with the world building leviathan template in it and email it to me please?

All I have is the iPad version and an iPad and I can’t create or import templates into a new project directly from the iPad. Please help!!

Here’s an empty project I just created from that template. (I’m on Windows, but that should make no difference.)

I’ve attached the project via zip file, which you’ll need to unzip. Sorry, but I don’t know how to do that on the iPad.

Best,

if you’re on a recent iPadOS, Apple instructions on link. Otherwise iZip from App Store had been good…

Oh that’s neat! Got it all figured out now. Sucks that the software limitation of scrivener doesn’t allow one to create templates from scratch though. But this should keep me going till I can remedy my laptop situation

Well something to consider is that since the iOS version has no concept of a project template, the only way to fake it is to .zip a project and unzip a copy whenever you want to start a new project from it (which is essentially all the PC version does anyway, it just has a bunch of GUI in the way of that simple truth!).

So given that, you do in fact have the tools you need to make a “template”. Create your project the way you want on the device, and once you’ve got it all set up the way you want, go into Files.app, drill down to Scrivener’s storage, long-tap on the project and choose to compress it. Now drag that .zip file somewhere else and you have a template. 🙂
