Well, I realize it might be a bit silly to love a piece of software, but I do love this one.  Great news–not only an update to the MacOS version but only a week away from an iOS version.  I’ll be making my purchase immediately.  Scrivener is, to my mind, the single best piece of software for any writer.

Hello Scrivener Users,

Exciting times! Our iOS version is finally ready and will be released next week. Ahead of that, we have a 2.8 update to Scrivener for macOS ready, which you will need to download if you plan to buy and use our iOS version. Please read on for more details.

(Please do not reply directly to this e-mail address as it is only sporadically monitored – use mac.support@literatureandlatte.com or contact@literatureandlatte.com instead – thanks!)

Note: you are receiving this e-mail because you subscribed to the Scrivener newsletter or because, when you purchased Scrivener, you ticked the box saying that you were happy to receive Scrivener-related news.

1. Scrivener 2.8 for macOS Now Available

Scrivener 2.8 adds support for working with Scrivener for iOS (see below). Earlier versions of Scrivener will not recognise changes made in our iOS version, nor are they able to open projects created on iOS. Therefore, if you plan to buy and use Scrivener for iOS when it is released next week, please be sure to download and install Scrivener 2.8. Scrivener 2.8 is a free update for all registered users of Scrivener 2, and along with iOS support, it also includes a number of bug fixes and minor tweaks.

To download Scrivener 2.8, follow the instructions below – please note that the instructions differ depending on whether you bought Scrivener directly from us or from the Mac App Store. If you have any problems, please don’t hesitate to e-mail us at mac.support@literatureandlatte.com for further assistance.

#### 1. UPDATING TO SCRIVENER 2.8 FOR THOSE WHO BOUGHT DIRECTLY FROM US ####

To download Scrivener 2.8, either:

• Select “Check for Updates” from the “Scrivener” menu within Scrivener itself and follow the on-screen instructions;

Or:

• Go to http://www.literatureandlatte.com/scrivener.php?platform=mac and click on “Download for Mac” to download and re-install Scrivener. (Note that 2.8 requires OS X 10.6 or higher – 2.5 is the most recent supported version for older systems.)

If you have already seen the update notification and followed the on-screen instructions to update, you don’t need to do anything else.

#### 2. UPDATING TO SCRIVENER 2.8 FOR THOSE WHO BOUGHT FROM THE MAC APP STORE ####

• Open the App Store app on your Mac and click on the “Updates” button in the toolbar. Find Scrivener in the list and click on the “Update” button.

Also, if you want to leave Scrivener a review or rating on the Mac App Store, we’d be incredibly grateful. (Well, maybe not so grateful if you give it one star and say you hate it – I can only hope that anyone who really dislikes Scrivener hasn’t read this far!)
