User interface? At the top of Literature & Latte's list of improvements for Scrivener 3 is the revised user interface. What's the user interface?

Metadata: The editor’s friend
Metadata - The editor's friend! Metadata becomes essential at the editing stage but, for many writers, after Compile, Metadata is the Scrivener feature which is powerful and yet - for some - daunting. I think that's because there are so many options to consider! Let's do it ...

The Scrivener workspace The basic workspace can be separated into three panes: The Binder on the left The Editing pane in the centre The Inspector on the right What appears within the Editing pane?
