Scrivener’s philosophy is based on the awareness that many, if not most, writers don’t write long works from beginning to end, but rather jump around and build their projects in a non-linear manner. You write in the Editor, but Scrivener has three main ways to organize and rearrange your project: the Binder, Corkboard, and Outliner.| Literature & Latte
The Scrivener Inspector shows you information about the files and folders in your Scrivener projects and lets you add information about them as well. The Inspector has five sections: Synopsis & Notes, Bookmarks, Metadata, Snapshots, and Comments & Footnotes. See Get to Know the Scrivener Inspector to learn more about these.| Literature & Latte
When you’ve finished writing a novel, it’s time to submit it to agents in the hopes of getting published. If you write short stories, articles, or poems, you may regularly submit your work to journals and magazines. It’s important to attract these submissions so you know when you sent them, whether you got a response, and, for stories, articles, or poems, when they were published.| Literature & Latte
Scrivener is a tool for writing long-form projects, as well as screenplays, short stories, poems, and more. As a complete writing environment, you can use Scrivener for other tasks related to your writing. For example, a previous article discussed how to track submissions for each project within the projects; see Create a Writing Submission Tracker in Scrivener.| Literature & Latte
Scrivener’s Binder is where you organize your projects, in folders and files, and this is reflected in the app’s dedicated Outline view. Many people like working in Outline view, because it’s a familiar way to view the elements of their projects. But you can also use the Binder to create an outline and rearrange it, and, in some cases, this is more powerful and flexible than the Outline view.| Literature & Latte

We’ve looked at how you can Use Folders and Texts to Power Up the Scrivener Binder, and how you can Plan Your Project with Scrivener’s Outliner. We have also examined how you can outline with just the Binder.| Literature & Latte
When you’re working on a project in Scrivener, the Binder is your organizational tool. You create folders and texts, and use them to structure your work. You could just have a single text, and write like Jack Kerouac on a scroll, but then you wouldn’t get the benefit of being able to rearrange chapters, sections, and scenes in the Binder. Understanding how to use the Binder is the key to working with a Scrivener project.| Literature & Latte
The Scrivener window has three main elements: the Binder, the Editor, and the Inspector. Previous articles have looked at how you manage files and folders in the Binder, and how you can customize the Editor.| Literature & Latte
