Structured file management

All Writer combines a three-column layout with a folder/file tree for long documents. UI overview: Interface.

Save status

  • Toolbar shows saving / dirty / saved
  • Unsaved files show a dot in the tree
  • Auto-save shortly after edits (timing may vary by build)

Why structure matters

  • See the whole manuscript at once
  • Jump between chapters quickly
  • Reorder by dragging
  • Draft structure before prose
