To celebrate the launch of Scrivener 3 for Windows, Gwen has produced a special free class for PC users upgrading from Scrivener 1 to the new Scrivener 3. I’ve taken many of Gwen’s courses and can recommend her to you. Gwen Hernandez wrote Scrivener for Dummies and, since 2010, has been helping thousands of people all over the world to learn to love Scrivener through online courses, one-on-training and in-person workshops. Windows support from expert Gwen Hernandez It’s a project which you can download, open in Scrivener 3, and which then walks you through the features.
Literature & Latte have also provided an Upgrade Guide for Scrivener 1 users. Owners of Scrivener 1 can upgrade with a discounted price.
Reading the manual might not be the best way to learn … but the User Manual is available via the Help button and you can also download it from the Literature & Latte site. I thoroughly recommend you watch them!

PC users have been waiting for what seems like forever, and some have been brave enough to use the beta versions.
You can get the general idea from the screenshot below.Literature & Latte released Scrivener 3 for Windows just over a month ago on 20 March 2021. I always find it easiest to run Scrivener then locate the key file in the project folder rather than trying to double click anything (but I’m not a regular Windows Scrivener user so that may just be me). Open it in the usual way (please see the Scrivener help file if any doubt). If you’re on Windows you will see a folder (as is usual with Scrivener projects on Windows). If you’re on a Mac you will see a standard Scrivener file. Scrivener is incredibly flexible so as always please cherry pick what you like and reject the rest. This is just a set of suggestions to play with. So feel free to download this one and play with it - you don’t need the book to do that. I won’t be putting out a new version for Scrivener 3 because frankly the app is now so mature I suspect most people don’t really need it.Īs part of a general tidy-up around here I’ve taken a look at the free Scrivener template associated with Writing A Novel with Scrivener.
I imagine you can update it but it’s up to you to play around with that. How it functions with Scrivener 3 I don’t know. It was written for an early version of Scrivener 2 on the Mac. Please note this post is very out of date now as is the template.
