Dabble was designed to be a simple word processor with minimal features in which writers can write without distraction while also keeping all their work organized in one place.Scrivener has more features than Dabble.Word count goal settings in Dabble (Screencap taken by author) Tldr: If you wanted to add another part or chapter, you’d have to find it under the Book Actions section, which is the ⋮ beside your book’s name. This means you need to specifically click the ⋮ beside where it says MANUSCRIPT and select Add New Book.

What these folders represent can be changed after they are created, but their spot in the nest hierarchy determines their subsection type.įor instance, if you wanted to add another book to your project in Dabble, you’d have to find it in the Manuscript Actions section. You have to create folders for each book subsection type in specific levels. In Dabble, the folders are preset and refer to a specific type of book section. And since you define what these folders represent, you have complete freedom to organize your work however you want within a project. You could keep nesting folders to infinity if you so chose. This means there is no limit to the number of folders you can nest within each other. You simply click the folder to name it and edit it to represent whatever subsection you want. A folder is simply an undefined text file that you can define any way you like. In Scrivener, the folders do not inherently refer to any type of book section they are not predefined. There is a slight difference in the way you create these nested documents in both programs that could get a bit confusing. Nesting hierarchy: the books “Benny’s Story”, “Bad Blood”, “Killing Jar”, “Human Nature” > part 1 “Wanted” > chapter 1 > scene 1 (Screencap taken by author) see the screencaps from the previous section for how this looks in Scrivener
