nv_collection

User guide

This page refers to the latest nv_collection release. You can open it with Aiuto > ${Collection plugin Online help}.

If you have several novelibre projects, you can manage them as books in a collection, also organized by series. A collection gives you quick access to your projects.

Start the collection manager

Open the collection manager from the main menu: File > ${Collection}.

Open a collection

By default, the latest collection selected is preset. You can change it with File > Aprire.

Create a new collection

With File > Nuovo, you can create a new collection. This will close the current collection and open a file dialog asking for the location and file name of the collection to create. Once you specified a valid file path, a blank collection appears.

Create a new series

With ${Series} > Aggiungi, you can add a new series. Edit the series’ title and description in the right window.

Add books to the collection

To add the current novelibre project as a book to the collection, use Libro > ${Add current project to the collection}. If a series is selected, the book is added as a part of this series.

Update book description
