You cannot revise what you cannot find, and you cannot find your way through a long project with folders alone. This release is about both.
Find & Replace now works within the current section, with match highlighting and navigation you drive from the keyboard. Find in Book searches across every section at once, grouping results by where they appear and supporting case-sensitive, whole-word, and regular-expression matching. When you rename a character in chapter three, you can be certain about chapter nineteen.
Two complementary ways to label your work arrive alongside it. Keywords are a color-coded tagging system for sections, characters, and locations, with typeahead entry and template support. Use them for anything that cuts across your structure, like themes, plot threads, or unresolved questions. Collections are single-select label groups, best suited to states a section can only be in one of at a time, such as Draft, Revision, or Complete. Together they let you ask questions of a manuscript that its outline alone cannot answer.
Multiple windows give you more room to hold two parts of a series in your head at once, with duplicate prevention and quick switching from the Window menu. Quick View lets you preview a character’s or location’s details straight from the binder without changing what you are looking at, and an expanded Details panel gives characters, locations, and keywords more room to hold what you know about them.
Several smaller improvements round things out. Verkilo now reopens to your last section, so returning to work costs you nothing. Sections with a point-of-view character can show a colored avatar in the binder. You can choose a custom backup location, assign a default interior design to a book for export, and the paragraph-style setting (indented or spaced) now applies reliably.
None of this is glamorous. All of it is the difference between a tool you tolerate and one you trust with years of work.
