One important thing to note is that on Mac Scrivener Project will appear to be file with. If you use a Mac at home and netbook on the go, you should have no problem copying Project back and forth between computers as necessary. There will never be a need to convert or Export your Project if all you wish to do is work on another computer. The Scrivener Project format is cross-platform compatible. You will then need to Export again when you next need to use Project on Windows.

When using this method, you will need to be careful about keeping track of which version of project is most recent, Because after exporting, you will work on exported Project in Scrivener 2 and then open it in Scrivener 3 when returning to Mac, which will upgrade it to Scrivener 3 format again. To do so, go To File > Export > as Scrivener 2 Project. You can export your Project to Scrivener 2 format from Scrivener 3 and edit the resulting Scrivener 2 Project on Windows. There are two ways of working between platforms during this transitional period: you can download the latest version of Scrivener 2 for macOS from our site and use it for projects that you need to be compatible with the Windows version. This means that for now-until Scrivener 3 is released for Windows-you cannot open Scrivener 3 projects created on macOS in Scrivener 1 for Windows. Scrivener 3 has updated file format which cannot be open in earlier versions of Scrivener. Important note on using Scrivener 3 for macOS with Scrivener 1 for Windows: Scrivener 3 for Windows is currently in development and we expect to release it sometime in 2020.

Note: To work cross-platform, you will need a separate Scrivener licence for each platform.
