Scrivener 3 For Mac: Compiling for Export

You already know that the Scrivener writing software you bought is going to simplify your writing process and help you become more productive but did you know that one of the best features of Scrivener for Mac is that you can export your content to multiple platforms without having to change the original draft document? Imagine the time you are going to save with this great book writing software. Not to mention that if you can format your own work for export you will no longer be held hostage to the whims and schedules of anyone else.

The problem is that if you try to learn the ins and outs of the Scrivener Compile menu using the user’s manual it's going to take a while because it is highly technical and includes every conceivable way of exporting using every type of file format.
Don’t get me wrong. The Scrivener users manual is supposed to be like that, but it isn’t book writing made easy when you have to weed out all the information that doesn’t affect the formatting and exporting of a simple paperback or eBook.
