When I try it though, it doesn’t seem to work. I select multiple containers from the binder with Ctrl+click, I expect to see their respective sub-documents merged together as cards on the Corkboard, kind of like scrivenings but with cards, as pictured in the tutorial above.
What I am seeing though on the Corkboard is just the containers. I do not see the sub-documents. Using the example from that tutorial, I am seeing the March 6 and March 20 containers only, no sub-documents.
Am I doing something wrong? Is stacked Corkboards available in the Windows version? I am on 1.7.3.
Update: I noticed and checked the “Differences between Mac and Windows versions” post.
While it doesn’t mention Stacked Corkboards specifically, it does say: “On the Mac, you can select multiple folders in the binder and have them appear as rows or columns on the corkboard; this is not possible on Windows yet.”
While this certainly relates to selecting multiple folders for display on the corkboard, It is not clear to me whether this is stacking as depicted in the tutorial I referenced or some other Mac-only feature.
Stacked corkboards are currently only in the Mac version; that’s what the “select multiple folders and have them appear as rows on the corkboard” is about. (The idea of what it does is usually more widely known or sought than the name for it, but since you bring it up I’ll go edit that post in a minute to throw the “Stacked Corkboard” terminology in. )
You can still view the cards together as a multiple selection by expanding the folders in the binder and using Shift+click to select the range of documents. They won’t be arranged in a row or column per container and can’t be moved around this way (since it becomes a flat list, with no concept of the binder hierarchy) but you can view them together on the corkboard to edit the synopses and other meta-data. You can also use Documents > Open > With All Subdocuments to view a single container’s contents as a flat list on the corkboard.
