An outline breaks down the parts of your thesis in a clear, hierarchical manner. It is the road map of your writing, so you know what should be included and in what order. When it comes to building an outline, there are two groups of people. The first group likely to create an outline at the initial stage of the writing project. The second group likely to start writing the details first. Only at some later stage do they start to build an outline and finish off the rest. Biblioscape can be used for both approaches.
Build an outline with Quick Add
This is for people who want to create an outline quickly. It works the same way as the brainstorming feature in the notes module. First, click the Quick Add button to display the Quick Add box. Enter an outline item in the box and press the Enter key. Start typing your next outline item and repeat the process. Each item will be created as a note in the notes folder. It will be stored in the last note folder you opened. A link will be automatically added between the note and your composition project, so the newly created notes will be shown in your composition folder.
Build an outline from existing notes
For writers who like to work on details directly and build an outline later, Biblioscape provides an easy way to create an outline from existing notes. Click on the "Notes" tab on the right. You can select a notes folder at the top or run a fast search to find the notes you want. Then select the notes you want to add to the outline. Drag the selected notes and drop them into the outline.
