They are projects of their own.
So, nothing other than what you’d expect, working on a project.
The idea, here – in the context of a book series + a bible –, is that the bible is not duplicated but rather shared across multiple projects.
There is only one.
So, whatever you do to it, you do to it and that’s that.
Whenever it is called upon (no matter out of which “main” project), those changes will reflect, as there exists no other version.
I’ve set up exactly the same types of satellite projects + custom template as you, minus the built-in links between them. I’ve designated these satellite projects as Favorites, so Scrivener maintains the links under File > Favorite Projects.
Best,
Jim
Just as good.
I use links like I do because it has become an habit to access most of my custom stuff out of the inspector. (I have developed a reflex to “tilt” right (toward the inspector) for everything of the sort.)
Using links, I handle that in the bookmarks panel.
Otherwise yes, using the favorite list is just as good. (Most probably intended as such, too.)
Could you please give me an example(s) so that I can better understand the concept and advantages of doing this.
I honestly don’t know what more example I could give that would add further clarity to the topic.
I explained how this can be useful (relative to the user’s approach) in the case of a series for which books share part of a project, while keeping the backups to a min size.
I’ve also explained how it can be used to quick access projects that are of common interest to other “main” projects.
Perhaps, if you don’t see the advantages or what is implied, it is simply that with how your personal workflow developed, you don’t actually need it. (?)
P.S. I could come up with more examples. But it’d just be more of the same.
Someone else, perhaps.
But me? That’s how I use it, and that’s pretty much the range of my perspective.
I already linked to my description of how I use this approach, above, though it seems perhaps some people did not visit that, as all of this seems a novel concept to some, after the point of having linking to it, so I figured it worth mentioning again.
