Scrivener’s compile feature stitches together the writing in your project and exports a file in one of many formats. At the most basic level, you can compile your manuscript with a few clicks and create a file to send to friends, beta readers, agents, or editors.

But the compile feature offers a great deal of customization. While Scrivener templates feature basic compile settings, called formats, you can modify existing compile formats or create your own, tweaking just about every option in the compile process.

In this article, we look at the basics of creating custom Scrivener compile formats.

As you progress in your Scrivener projects, you may want to find various words or texts in your files. While Scrivener’s find and replace feature~ is powerful, and its Project Search lets you find text throughout your projects – in text files, research, and more – the Find by Formatting feature goes one step further.

Instead of searching for specific words or text strings as with the other find features, Find by Formatting searches for text formatted in specific ways. If you want to search for bold text, revision marks, highlighted text, or text formatted with specific styles, Find by Formatting can do this. This is especially useful if you’ve put comments or highlights in texts to mark things to come back to when you revise your draft.
