Structure Your Book

Your book's structure, one tree.

The Manuscript dock opens from the left rail. It shows three groups: Front Matter, Contents, and Back Matter. Front and back matter pages are cards of their own; chapters are one card each, with the chapter title on its header and the chapter's pages listed as rows underneath.

• -Front Matter: title page, copyright, dedication, and similar pages.
• -Contents: your chapters, numbered in order.
• -Back Matter: acknowledgments, about the author, and similar pages.

Add, rename, move, and delete with the row menu.

Hover a row to reveal its menu (the ellipsis). The chapter menu includes Open, Add Page, Chapter Settings, Copy, Paste, Move Up, Move Down, Duplicate, and Delete. Page rows offer Open, Page Settings, Copy, Paste, Duplicate, Move Up, Move Down, and Delete.

• -Add Page creates a blank page inside the selected chapter.
• -Drag the grip to reorder chapters and pages.
• -Move Up and Move Down also live in the row menu.
• -Deletes ask for confirmation before anything is removed.

Start from ready-made pages.

Use the Fill Pages action in the Manuscript dock header to insert standard pages like Title Page, Copyright, Dedication, Acknowledgments, and About the Author. Presets open as normal pages you can edit freely.

Chapters and pages are plain files you can open.
