If you want to maintain the formatting you've set up in your text file, you can update the style sheet to match your formatting. Scrivener text files don't include style sheets, though, so Storyist provides a default style sheet on import. Microsoft Word, for example, includes style sheets in the RTF files it exports. Storyist provides style sheets with each project and text file template, and can import style sheets from RTF files if they are available. Text transformations (for example, all caps).This makes it easy to change styles with a few keystrokes. 'Next' and 'Tab' styles-styles that are automatically applied when you press the Return key at the end of a paragraph, or the Tab key at the start of an empty paragraph.This means that you can outline your project down to the heading level, not just the file level, giving you more flexibility in how you structure your project. These outlines appear in the Project view, the Outliner, and the Storyboard. Outline (Heading) level-Storyist uses heading levels to build document outlines.Note that in addition to font and spacing settings, Storyist styles provide support for: The screenshot above shows the style editor, which you can access by placing the cursor in some text and choosing Format > Style > Edit Current Style. Each Storyist text file has a group of styles, called a style sheet, which can be used to format your document quickly and consistently.

If you want iCloud or Dropbox to automatically sync your Storyist projects from your hard drive to the cloud, store them in the Storyist folder in your iCloud Drive or Dropbox folder (this is where Storyist for iOS looks for them) and edit them from there.

If you plan to write with multiple devices, you'll want to set up syncing on your iOS device as described in the Users Guide. Storyist for iOS is a version of Storyist that runs on iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch devices. File selection for inclusion in an ePub or Kindle edition is handled in the export phase, so Storyist folders can contain any project item type.

Storyist doesn't require a special Draft folder.

The text editor supports headers and footers, so you can add these directly to your text files if you want.

If you want to take advantage of style sheets (which are pretty powerful-see below), you can edit the default style sheet to match your formatting preferences. This doesn't modify the formatting you've applied to the text.

Since Scrivener doesn't support style sheets, Storyist adds a default style sheet to each imported text file.

The contents of your original Scrivener file will not be affected.

You can save this new Storyist project wherever you want. Storyist imports text and formatting information, images, comments, index card summaries, and project structure. Storyist creates a new, blank project and imports the contents of your Scrivener project. Opening a Scrivener project is straight-forward: Just select File > Open and choose a Scrivener project.
