Author’s room. Fourteen new ways to revise, publish, share, and collaborate — without the page getting busier.
Added
- Version history with side-by-side diff — compare any two snapshots, restore at the paragraph level.
- Live prose linter — passive voice, adverbs, filter words, long sentences, in the margin only.
- Graveyard — deleted blocks recoverable for 90 days.
- Where-am-I status — chapter, scene, day’s words, in a slim line at the foot of the editor.
- Typewriter line mode — the active line stays vertically centred. ⌘⌥T.
- Chapter word goals — targets per chapter, with a fill ring on the binder.
- Story-structure templates — Save the Cat, Three-Act, Hero’s Journey, Story Grid, Freytag’s Pyramid.
- Dialogue voice analysis — per-character voice fingerprint with drift detection (Pro).
- PDF annotation in the research room — highlight, comment, pin to a scene.
- Web clipper — Chrome and Safari extensions for sending articles to research with one click.
- Scrivener
.scrivimport — drag a folder; binder, notes, and labels come across. - KDP self-publish PDF templates — 5x8, 5.5x8.5, 6x9 trims, properly typeset.
- Beta-reader share link — private read-only URL with optional comments and an expiry (Pro).
- Co-author mode — invite by email; full database row-level security; track changes synced (Pro).
Improved
- Shunn manuscript DOCX export — tighter margins, cleaner running heads, real Word footnotes.
- Folder-as-project mirror — faster, more reliable on machines with many small files.
- Author Mode is now on by default for new Novel projects.
Fixed
- Footer location read “Made in Maine” on three pages; corrected to Portland, Oregon.
- Hero block on iPhone overlapped the navigation in landscape; flattened on widths under 540px.
- Documentation screenshots populated with real demo content (The Great Gatsby) instead of placeholder text.
