yWriter is designed to help authors manage their novels during the creative stages. Add chapters or scenes and shuffle them at will and watch your novel grow with a daily wordcount tally. You don't have to write your files in yWriter, as long as you can save as plain text.
This program is updated often. Visit the home page at Spacejock Software often to check for newer versions.
yWriter is copyright Spacejock Software.
You may distribute yWriter to whoever you like providing you don't modify the program or associated documentation. You can charge a small fee to cover the cost of distribution, but you may not sell the program itself.
Before you get to the rest of the manual, let me explain about the inbuilt auto-updater. By default, this feature is switched off, but if you'd like to know when a new release of this program is available you should manually 'Check for Update' and then ensure that 'Disable automatic checking' is un-ticked. See the image below for a reference:

If this option is unticked, the program will perform a check for a new update once a week. Assuming you run the program, that is. This feature is not something which runs in the background all the time.
Important Notice
I have done my best to make yWriter as free of errors as possible, but I cannot guarantee it is completely bug-free. I cannot be held liable for any damage you or your computer may suffer after installing or using this program. If you don't accept that, please uninstall it now.
