Allow Notes in the Manuscript
Sometimes I like to brainstorm about a chapter or scene before I actually write it. Currently, I add a scene at the beginning of the chapter titled NOTES. However, when I type into it, it formats like a scene and not a hote. E.G. the first paragraph has not ident, but the rest are indented. It would be nice if I could brainstorm about that scene or chapter with a note page (where everything is flush left AND do stuff like add bullets.
And when exporting (or in the future, printing), these Note pages would be surpressed.

Kristen KindollYes, I like to see my notes open on the side to remind me plot points that I need to answer in my stories.

LisaI would really like this as well. This is something that has me hesitant to make the switch from Scrivener to Dabble. I like to list bulletpoints for the new chapter when ending a writing session so I have a place to start in the next one. It's helpful to have those bullets in the actual drafting file so I can delete the individual bullets as I draft the corresponding text.
I saw in the help section that there's a way to manually create bullets in the story notes. I wish that feature wasn't limited to just that section, and instead was available in all spaces. Thanks! -

LauraI really need this as well. I keep having to copy my text over to OneNote, so I can do that, add the changes, then copy it back to Dabble. It's extremely inconvenient. The scene note is something I really consider as part of an overall synopsis. And comments don't suffice since I don't always know where in the manuscript I want to add or change something. This is more like sticky notes.
