Inspector

The inspector on the right displays the panels available for the active document.

The editor and inspector in the English Scroll interface

File Content​

This panel shows the title, Category, Tags, file information, outline, and entry points for footnotes, endnotes, and references. Editable fields are saved with the Project; calculated statistics are normally read-only. General file information is available on every plan. Editing bibliographies, citations, and references blocks requires Pro.

Related Files / Related​

Choose Related Files on the right rail; the open panel is titled Related. It lists explicit relationships, links from the prose, and backlinks. Before removing an item, confirm whether you are changing a relationship or a text link. Opening a related item only opens the corresponding local file.

Notes​

Use one note for a short reminder or several notes for longer revision comments. Notes are part of the Project. When moving or backing up a Project, copy the entire folder, including hidden files and folders—not only the Markdown prose.

Stats​

Stats shows word and character counts and goals for the active document and Project. Character count is often more useful for languages that do not separate words with spaces; word count is usually more useful for space-delimited languages.

Editor Appearance​

Editor Appearance is available for supported text documents. These settings affect the writing environment. They are separate from Scribe Appearance and do not create a typeset PDF.

If a panel is empty​

Confirm that the active tab contains a supported text file or card. After a large external change or in a large Project, Related Files and Project statistics may take a short time to update.
