Synced Panels

Hi,

I apologize if this has already been answered–I couldn’t find it and it’s probably very simple. Is there a way to keep the two panels of a split screen in sync? So that when I click a document in the outline mode, it appears in the other panel?

Thanks,

Greg

Yes!

make sure you have 2 editor panes open (eg: View> Layout > Split Vertically)
make sure you have the footer showing: View> Layout > Show Footer View

Select the left most editor pane and put it in Outline mode ( + 3)

Then click on the little symbol in the Footer that shows two arrows on top of each other
Sort of like…

<—

If that is highlighted, it should automatically open the selection in the other Editor pane.

Amazingly simple… I knew I had seen that somewhere in the tutorial, but that was a lot of information to remember. Thanks.

If you do and you tweak your outline formats and remove the binder, you can use the editor almost as a extra powerful binder.

I don’t use this all the time, but sometimes set Scriv to this way if I’m in editing rather than writing / researching mode.
