= 3. Working with books =

This section of the documentation explains how books - the basic type of document in Sophie - work.

Sophie can have multiple books open at once. Books are listed by name under the '''Window''' menu; they are also listed in the books tab in the left flap.

Behind all open books is the '''Book Desktop'''; the book desktop is a special book that functions as a workspace. Resources can be imported into the book desktop and manipulated. While it is currently not completely functional, in the future it will serve as a workspace where resources can be placed before they go into a real book. At the top of the book desktop are buttons that can be pressed to switch between open books; the first of these is always the book desktop itself. When a book is selected, all other books are minimized; when the book desktop is selected, other books are minimized.
