Working with views
Each item container in the source list by default has a
container description view (scenes container view shown
at right) that allows you to add a new item, manage tags,
and in the case of scenes and scenes-based smart
views, see all the your viewsʼ items as part of a timeline.
The scenes container view provides a good example of
how to work with container views:
Clicking on “Add a New Scene” will add a new item at
the bottom of your scenes list, with the same single item
view enabled as for all your other scene items.
The tag cloud provides an easy way to manage your
scenesʼ tags. Adding a tag directly to the tag cloud adds it
to all the scenes in your container.
The bottom pane of the scenes container view is unique in
allowing you the option to open a timeline of your scenes.

Tip:
You cannot add new scenes in the novel view;
instead, youʼll need to add them in the scenes view.
Container description view (scenes view)
Tip:
Once youʼve added a new scene, assign it a
chapter in its metadata pane, and sort it within the
scenes list by dragging and dropping it. The order
of the scenes in the scenes list dictates their order
in the chapters. If you are placing chapter text in
scenes, reordering the scenes will automatically
move the text in the chapter.
