In this bonus session, regarding the navigation panel that we saw in our last session, I want to point out this super cool trick that if you have friends who've been lording Scrivener over you, you can now tell them Microsoft Word does that too. And in some cases, it might do it a little easier for you. Alright, so we had just assigned heading one to our prologue and all the 50 some chapters in our book, and we were using the find feature to look up the word chapter. What I want to have you noticed as a secondary level, is that we were looking at the chapter results before so it was listing one chapter by another when the word chapter appeared. But now, even if I clear out the we're searching for chapters, we'll look over at headings and so each of those chapters regardless even if it was named prologue, anything thing that we've assigned Heading One, two.
If we're in the navigation panel and we click on headings, we will be able to move just with a click of a mouse between all of the chapters in our book very simply, easily, you can go all the way, any of the ones at the end all the way throughout. Anything that's labeled with heading one will appear here. If you've labeled something with Heading Two, that would appear as the sort of inset and you can also click in between those back and forth. Turn that off, because I don't want that for later. But just to show you how easy it is. Now, here is the special sauce.
Let's say maybe you've got a plot that has you alternating chapters with different point of view characters, and all of a sudden, you've realized you've got two chapters in a row from the same character. And you think plot wise it would still work if you switched chapter two and chapter three, rather than going in and needing to copy and cut and paste You can now simply open up your navigation window, grab chapter three, click and drag it up to swap places with chapter two. Stupid simple, right? And the only thing you have to do to finish polishing is change the chapter numbers so that the order appears correct here. And the feature or if you're just making the change as an intermediary step, maybe keep your chapter numbers the way they were for the moment, test it out with a continuity read, and then put it back together and make your final choice and update
