Project Documents

=================
|
||||
Documents
|
||||
=========
|
||||
|
||||
New documents can be created from the toolbar in the project tree, or by pressing :kbd:`Ctrl+N`.
|
||||
This will open the create new item menu and let you choose between a number of pre-defined
|
||||
documents and folders. You will be prompted for a label for the new item.
|
||||
You can add documents anywhere you want in your project structure. You can even add documents as
|
||||
child items of other documents, just like if they were folders. This makes it easy to associate a
|
||||
set of scenes with their chapter. You can also do this in your notes, where you for instance may
|
||||
have a hierarchy of your locations.
|
||||
|
||||
You can always rename an item by selecting **Rename Item** from the **Project** menu, or by
|
||||
pressing :kbd:`F2` when a document or folder is selected.
|
||||
The name on a document in the project tree is not linked to any headings in the document text.
|
||||
Think of the document name as a file name. You can rename a document, or any other item in the
|
||||
project, at any time.
|
||||
|
||||
Other settings for project documents and folders are available from the context menu that you can
|
||||
activate by right-clicking on an it in the tree. The **Transform** submenu includes options for
|
||||
converting, splitting, or merging documents. See :ref:`docs_ui_split_merge` for more details on
|
||||
the latter two.
|
||||
|
||||
Documents come in two types:
|
||||
|
||||
**Novel Documents**
|
||||
These are the documents that make up your story or novel. They can only be added under a root
|
||||
folder of type **Novel**. You can technically also add them under **Archive**. See
|
||||
:ref:`docs_usage_headers` for more details about how these documents are handled by novelWriter.
|
||||
|
||||
**Project Notes**
|
||||
These are the documents where you keep your notes. You can add them anywhere in your project,
|
||||
including under **Novel** type folders. If you do add them there, they are not treated as a part
|
||||
of the story by default.
|
||||
|
||||
You can convert between the two types of documents where the types are allowed. You can also
|
||||
convert folders into documents, which may sometimes be convenient.
|
||||
|
||||
Another convenient feature is that documents can be split into sub-documents by its containing
|
||||
headings, or multiple documents merged into one. This is particularly convenient if you start out
|
||||
with larger structural documents, like one containing all chapters and scenes in an act, and then
|
||||
split those. See :ref:`docs_ui_split_merge` for more details.
