Organize Your Book with Groups, Sub-groups and Tags

Step by step on Windows

Hover over the Groups header in the project sidebar and click + to add a group. In the Add New Group dialog you can also pick a Parent Group.
Right-click a group and choose Add Sub-Group to nest parts, acts or arcs as deep as you need.
Drag a chapter card up or down in the sheet list to reorder it.
Drag a card onto a group in the sidebar to move it there. The group lights up while you drag.
Right-click a card and choose Manage Tags to tag it, for example by point of view or draft status. Tags show on the card.

Click Back to All, then Last 7 days in the Library, to see every sheet you edited this week across all projects.
Deleting a group also deletes its sub-groups, but never your writing: the sheets move to Ungrouped Sheets.
Groups can be dragged into a new order too, so the sidebar can follow the shape of your book.

Right-click your project in the sidebar and choose New Group, or choose File › New Group (⌥⌘N).
Right-click a group and choose New Subgroup to nest parts, acts or arcs as deep as you need.
Drag a sheet up or down in the middle column to reorder it. This works while Sort By is set to Manual.
Drag a sheet onto a group to move it inside, or onto another project in the sidebar to move it there.
Right-click a sheet and choose Tags › Edit Tags… to tag it. Click a tag in the sidebar’s Tags section to see every sheet that has it.

Right-click a project or group and choose Show as Index Cards to plan on cards. Drag a card to reorder it, or drop it onto a group card to move it inside.
Deleting a group never deletes writing: its sheets and subgroups move up one level.
Recent in the Library lists the sheets you edited most recently, across all projects.

How deep can groups go?

As deep as you need, on Windows and Mac. Sub-groups can contain their own sub-groups, with no fixed limit.

What happens to my sheets if I delete a group?

Nothing is deleted. On Windows the sheets move to Ungrouped Sheets. On Mac the group’s sheets and subgroups move up one level.

Can I filter sheets by tag?

On Mac, yes: click a tag in the Tags section of the sidebar to list every sheet that has it. On Windows, not yet; tags show on each sheet card.

Free to start. Windows and Mac are separate apps, purchased separately.
