See [VERSIONING.md](VERSIONING.md), the [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md), or the [Release History wiki page](https://github.com/banisterious/obsidian-draft-bench/wiki/Release-History) for full detail. ## What it is - **Frontmatter-native.** Every project, scene, and draft is a plain markdown file with `dbench-*` properties. No index files, no parallel JSON stores. The vault *is* the database. - **Versioned per-scene drafts.** Each "new draft" command snapshots a scene's current prose into its own file, carries the working draft forward, and lets you keep revising. Every prior draft remains a real file, openable in split panes for side-by-side comparison. - **Flexible folder structure.** Scenes can live anywhere in your vault; the plugin identifies them by frontmatter, not folder location. Organize by status, POV, date, or any other scheme; nothing breaks. - **Obsidian Bases compatible.** Every property is Bases-queryable out of the box. Build manuscript tables, status queues, and corkboards without custom configuration. - **Compile without JavaScript.** A form-based Manuscript Builder handles compile presets, scene selection, and multi-format export (Markdown, ODT, PDF, DOCX). - **Compile preview, in-place.** A Preview tab renders the current preset's output as continuous read-only prose, no real export file needed. Dock the Builder as a workspace tab to keep Preview pinned next to a scene you're editing; Preview re-renders as you save. - **Scrivener 3 import.** A multi-step wizard reads a `.scriv` bundle from inside your vault and produces a fresh Draft Bench project: chapters, scenes, sub-scenes, drafts (optional), inspector content (synopses, notes, comments, footnotes, keywords), and custom metadata. Cross-platform; works on every OS Draft Bench itself supports. See [Importing from Scrivener](https://github.com/banisterious/obsidian-draft-bench/wiki/Importing-from-Scrivener).
