ABOUT THE UPGRADE GUIDE
-----------------------

The Upgrade Guide provides a guide to major changes in Scrivener 3 for users of Scrivener 1. You don't need to read it if you are new to Scrivener, or if you found the update to Scrivener 3 plain sailing. It is primarily intended for users who know Scrivener 1 very well and want a thorough guide on how to transfer their Scrivener 1 settings, compile presets and habits to Scrivener 3. It goes into particular detail on bringing across custom compile presets.

The Upgrade Guide is itself a project that was created in Scrivener 1 and has not yet been updated to Scrivener 3 format. The idea is that you open it in Scrivener 3 (which will update the project format) and then walk through the steps inside. You will learn:

- Where various features have been moved.

- How to use Bookmarks to replace Project Notes.

- How to update a Scrivener 1 project's compile settings to work in Scrivener 3.

- How to access some of the main new features.

- How to get the most out of the Styles.

It thus provides a hands-on guide to transitioning a Scrivener 1 project to Scrivener 3.

To get started, simply open "Upgrade Guide.scriv" in Scrivener 3, follow the prompts to update the file format, and then start with the "Start Here" document at the top of the binder.
