Chapters

Start a chapter

Type / and choose New Chapter. Scriptr adds a chapter title where your cursor is. Type the chapter’s name on that line.

See all your chapters

• The sidebar lists a Story’s chapters under the project.
• Manuscript options › Open outline shows the chapter outline beside your writing. Select a chapter to jump to it.

Rename or reorder chapters

• To rename a chapter, edit its title in the text.
• To reorder, drag a chapter by its handle in the outline. You can also press ⌘ ⌥ ↑ or ↓ (Ctrl Alt on Windows) to move the chapter your cursor is in.

Moving a chapter moves all of its text. You can undo a move like any other edit.

Parts

If your Story uses Parts (set in Manuscript options › Structure), chapters are grouped into parts, and you can move a chapter to another part from its menu in the outline.

Good to know

Chapters are kept when you export: Story PDFs start each chapter on a new page, and Markdown exports keep chapter titles as headings.
