INTRO & ACTIVATE ZORY WRITER

CREATE A NEW CHOICE

Using the Zory Writer add-on, you can add a choice to your manuscript by clicking the “2 Option Choice” or "3 Option Choice" button, which will create a pre-formatted choice text box for you.

CREATE A TAG

Tags are a title or code written in red, which is placed at the top right corner of a choice and serves as that choice’s unique identity. Tags are used to tie choice-related content back to its originating choice.

CREATE A LEAF

Leaves are content located elsewhere in the story as the result of a previous choice. You can place a leaf anywhere later in the story (and even in the next book).

CREATE A JUMP

“Jump” or pin-drop your reader to a specific place instead of continuing with whatever content would normally follow in the document.

CONDITIONS AND VARIABLES (ADVANCED)

We'll be making a separate video for this. Most of you won't be using these, but if you think you want to explore a bit, feel free to reach out to Kate and we can walk you through it in a few minutes. For now, here's an explanation of what conditions and variables are.
