The Inspector can help you avoid a wrong turn

Published on October 21, 2016October 17, 2016 by Jean M. Cogdell11 Comments

Just like the GPS app on your phone or in your car!

I don’t know about you but I’m lost now without my GPS. That app has saved me more times than I can count. As a directionally challenged person, I depend on it to go anywhere. And just like my car’s GPS, Scrivener’s Inspector helps me stay the course.

So what is “The Inspector?”

The Inspector Pane is a cool gadget in Scrivener sort of like a tip-sheet. With it, you can add the synopsis, bits of information, pictures, and notes that will keep your story moving in the right direction.

But in this video, I show you my favorite feature called “The Custom Meta-Data.” The custom meta-data section reminds you where you are, where you want the characters to end up, and what’s happening in each chapter or scene.

Open a chapter or page and with one glance at the Inspector, you can see the day, time, location and goals of your characters.

I hope this next Scrivener video, gives you a little insight in how to use the Custom Meta-Data inside the Inspector feature. Let me know if it helped.

Want to dig a little deeper into what The Inspector Pane has to offer?
