I can set a target for a whole project and see where I stand. I can do the same for any given file. But when I set a target for a folder in the outliner, there is no indication of the progression of the writing inside the folder when I click on it : its content (sub-folders or stack of files) is not taken into account. Did I miss something here? (S3 for MacOS).

Are you using the outline’s “Total Target” and “Total Words” columns? Those sum up the values in the “target” and “words” column values, respectively.

That’s it. I added the column « total target » and the progression bar appeared at the bottom of the page in the scrivening mode. Thanks a lot.
