What's missing is the assignment of the scenes to a chapter. For that we switch to the view “Manage Chapters and Scenes”. Click on the second icon of the three view icons:


 

In the view “Manage Chapters and Scenes” all scenes we created so far are shown in the area “Unassigned Scenes”:

  • The first chapter has already been created for you. If you want to create more chapters, right-click on the background and choose “New Chapter” from the context menu. The chapter dialog has already filled out default values for the chapter title and number. These values can be overwritten if wanted.

  • If you want to create more than one chapter at once, choose “Create multiple Chapters” from the same context menu.

  • Drag-n-drop the scenes from “Unassigned Scenes” to the dark gray area in chapter 1.

  • If you want to change to order inside a chapter, simply drag the scenes around.
     

Here is the view again after the assignments have been done:

  • If you switch back to the chronological view, you'll see that the scenes now have both, a scene number and a chapter number.
     

Switch to the book view now (click on the third button that shows a book icon):

  • The book view shows the chapters and scenes in the order we've defined before.

  • The same order also applies to any export (book summary or plain text book export).
     

You may switch to the “reading view” for comfortable reading:


 

  • The “Reading View” is for reading only. You cannot edit any data here.

  • Press the same button again to go back to the normal book view.

  • Note the control panel at the left. Here you can select if you want to show or hide a strand.
