Get to Know the Outline Feature
Outlining is a critical step in transforming your research into a structured, coherent piece of writing. Scrible's Outline feature, especially within the Edu Pro suite, elevates this process, making it simpler and smarter. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to leverage this feature for your projects:
Creating Your Outline Directly:
Begin in your Scrible account and select the library where you've gathered sources for your research. You can start crafting an outline directly linked to your research data from this point. This method ensures that your outline is deeply integrated with your collected insights and information, setting a solid foundation for your work.
- Access Your Library: Once you have signed into your Scrible account, navigate to the Libraries tab, then select the library from which you wish to base your outline.
- Initiate the Outline: Click on the Outline tab within the interface to begin organizing your thoughts and findings.
- Build Your Structure: You have a couple of options here. You can add headings, subheadings, and notes that correlate with your source material's key points and evidence. This step is about laying down the skeleton of your argument or narrative.
- Drag and drop content from your annotations
- Or manually type in information
How to Integrate Your Outline Using Scrible Writer:
After structuring your outline in Scrible, you can quickly move it into your document using the Scrible Writer add-on for Google Docs or Microsoft Word. This feature ensures a smooth transfer of your organized ideas, research, and structure into a document where you can fully flesh out your project.
- Complete Your Outline: Ensure your outline in Scrible is comprehensive and organized to your satisfaction.
- Open the Scrible Writer Add-On:
- You must open the paper in full-screen mode before using the Scrible Writer.
- Papers > Open or Create a paper > Extensions > Scrible Writer > Start.
- Once open, you will be able to transfer your outline directly to Google Docs.
- Begin Writing: Once your outline is in Google Docs, you can expand your points into a complete draft with all your research and ideas already in place.
Scrible's Outline feature bridges the gap between research and writing, offering a streamlined, efficient path from collecting sources to drafting your document. By starting with a solid outline directly tied to your research within Scrible and smoothly transitioning to Google Docs or Microsoft Word for writing, you can ensure your projects are well-organized and grounded in solid research from the outset.
