But you can also create “universal notes” that belong to the entire document and not only a chapter. Normally when you make a note it belongs to a certain chapter. Navigator display settings will be saved with the respective document, so you are free to set different categories for different documents. The Navigator display settings can be found in the status bar at the bottom of the window. You can select which info categories you would like to use in the Navigator Display. Additionally, you can choose to write a list with bullet points or numbers. You can also select the following text styles: Bold, italics, underline and strike through.

When the chapter is finally finished, you can mark it as “finished” or even “proofread”. You can label your headings as to be “deleted”, or if your texts “needs revising”, if it “needs research”, or if your rough draft still “needs polishing”, if you have “stopped” working on this chapter for now, or if you are “waiting” for something.
