Navigating the software
There are two main ways to navigate the Novel Factory software:
- The main navigation
- The user menu
The Main Navigation
The main navigation is the vertical black bar along the left-hand side of the software (this turns into a compact hamburger menu on mobile devices).
This is what you use to move between the main sections of the software.
Items on this menu are as follows:
- Roadmap
- Premise and Synopses
- Plot Manager
- Subplot Manager
- Manuscript
- Characters
- Locations
- Items
- Notes
- Statistics
- Recycle Bin
Each of these sections is explained in detail in the Sections of The Novel Factory section of this knowledge base.
The User Menu
The user menu can be found in the top right-hand corner of the software. Its icon is a little person.
Clicking on this causes a dropdown menu to appear, with further options.
These options are things you are less likely to want to use on a daily basis and which don’t relate to the specific project you have open, but to your Novel Factory account in general.
Items on this menu are as follows:
- My Novels
- Install Desktop Version
- Export
- Manage My Account
- Help Manual
- Contact
- Logout
