If it wasn’t already the active pane, the header will turn blue. To designate the active pane, click anywhere in that pane’s editor. This is the pane that will be affected when you select a document or adjust menu settings. NOTE: Each pane can have separate settings, such as Zoom level, ruler display, Page view (Scrivener 3), and Focus (Scrivener 3).Įach pane has its own header (see image below). The Editor splits into two panes with the selected document displayed in both. Windows: Click either the Horizontal Split or Vertical Split button in the upper right corner of the Editor (see image below). Scrivener will remember your most recent orientation choice until you change it again. Hold the Option key on your keyboard to switch the split button between horizontal and vertical. To split the Editor, select a document in the Binder, and then do one of the following: Mac: Click the Toggle Split button in the upper right corner of the Editor (see image below). That can be handy for referring back to an earlier point.īut if you don’t want to view two locations in the same document, you can easily choose to view something else in one of the panes. In my experience, the main source of confusion with Split Screen is that, initially, both panes display the same document (see images below).
