The outline pane allows users to quickly assemble existing notes into a draft using drag-and-drop. Users can also create new notes which can be automatically added to the outline. The ordering of notes can be changed by drag-and-drop or clicking the toolbar buttons. When you compile your composition, the outline can be converted to a table of contents of your final draft.
- New Note: Create a new note and add it to the current composition folder. You will be prompted to enter a note title, note type, and select the folder where the new note will be added. The new note will be automatically included in the current composition folder. You can then add content to the new note in the compsition module.
- New Child Note: Create a new note and add it to the current composition folder, and make it the child of the current note in the outline.
- Delete: Delete the selected notes in the outline. The notes will be deleted without prompting. You can recover them from the Recycle bin if needed.
- Add Existing Notes: Select existing notes and add them to the outline.
- Remove: Remove the selected notes from the outline. The notes will not be deleted from their notes folder.
- Move Left: Move the selected note one level higher in the outline tree, so it will become a sibling note of its current parent note.
- Move Right: Move the selected note to be the child note of the note above it.
- Move Up: Move the current note above the note above it.
- Move Down: Move the current note below the note below it.
- Mark: Mark the current note using the color flags. This mark only applies to the current composition folder.
- Refresh: Refresh the outline to show new changes.
