Compress your project

- [Instructor] You'll want to get into the habit of routinely compressing your Scrivener project. Compressing files not only gives you more protection by backing up your work, but it also makes your projects smaller and easier to share and store. To compress your Scrivener project, click on File then click Back Up, select Back Up To. Select a location to save the backup file. Right here, I'm going to keep it in the backup folder. You can type a name for your project and you can see by default Scrivener uses my project name. It also added the date. You can change this if you wish and name it whatever you like. For this example, I'll keep the default name. Next, I'll check the Back Up As Zip option and then I'll click Save. And just like that, it's zipped. And now that it is, it's more portable. I can say email it as an attachment or make it available to you as an exercise file. If you want to open this file, you'll have to have Scrivener installed on your computer. Get into the habit…
