Scrivener help

When I created my Scrivener project, I elected to make a novel without parts, and now I wish I had selected "Novel (with parts)."

Anyone know a way to change my project quickly so it has parts in it? I really don't want to start a new project and copy and paste everything over.

I don't think you can convert like that after creation, no. (Though I am very much in the camp of "No, no, I want to set up my OWN divisions," so I'm in the habit of making new nested files and copying text into them when a story is long enough to warrant breaking up into parts. Haven't played much at all with templates.)

There's nothing in the template you couldn't manually add to the project, but I'm not sure if that would be more or less work than copying and pasting the text into a new project with the template!

Sure thing! :D I've been using Scriver for a while now and have a lot of knowledge to pass along, ha ha.
