2. 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 is a tab bar with tabs that can be clicked 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. Only one book can be used at a time.

When you click on the Open Preview button in the status bar of every book, a new window with a preview of the book will appear. This preview will also appear in the tab bar; you can switch back and forth between a book and its preview.
