Label Colors in the Binder

Back to: Jump Into Scrivener 3 for Mac: A Mini-Course for Scrivener 2 Users

If you liked to turn on Label colors in the Binder, in Scrivener 3, you'll be seeing dots. Binder colors are represented as dots at the right end of the item line, rather than a full bar of color.

Personally, I like the dots, but if you don’t, never fear! You can have your full color bar back.

  1. If Label colors are not turned on in the Binder, go to View>Use Label Color In>Binder.
  2. Choose View>Use Label Color In>Use Full Width in Binder.
