If your font choice is changed you can select the text and apply the font again but you may want to experiment and find a font that works smoothly across the platforms that you are using. The problem originates with how each platform refers to fonts differently. When working across multiple platforms fonts can sometimes be a problem, resulting in the original font assignment being lost and replaced with something like Helvetica or Arial when you open the project on another platform. On each platform you will find a command in the Documents menu to repair a broken binder item link.

The Windows version will create "shortcuts" while the Mac version will create "aliases". In some cases, however, they may continue to work if the relative path structure is very similar (this is particularly true of linked images when moving to a Mac).Īdditionally, research linked into the binder will never work, since the underlying technology used to create links is different on each platform. Bookmarked files in the inspector, images linked to the disk, project bookmarks and hyperlinks pointing to the files, may need to be repaired after migrating to a new system. When switching between platforms this can be complicated further by how paths are printed in a fundamentally different fashion. When opening a project that contains links to the file system, those links may break unless the path to the item in Scrivener is identical to its location on the hard drive. It contains valuable tips for mitigating the risks associated with allowing a third-party program detailed access to the project's internal files. Important: If you are planning to share a project between computers using a cloud-sync service you should read our article on Using Scrivener with Cloud-Sync Services. scrivx file inside the entire folder is your project.

On Windows, you will need to navigate into the. On Mac, all you will need to do to open a project from your Finder is double-click on that. This file-that-is-actually-a-folder is called a "package file". It is actually a folder on both systems, but the Mac's operating system hides the internal contents of the folder to keep them safe. One important thing to note is that on the Mac a Scrivener project will appear to be a file with a ".scriv" extension, while on Windows, it will appear to be a folder with a ".scriv" extension, as pictured below: You will be able to use the same source file across Mac and Windows devices (so long as you are not doing so simultaneously - the project should only be opened on a single device at any given time.) There will never be a need to convert or export your project if all you wish to do is work on another computer. The Scrivener project format is fully cross-platform compatible.
You will also need to have Scrivener 3 installed on both your Mac and Windows computers.
Note: To work cross-platform, you will need a separate Scrivener licence for each platform.
