# PRO FEATURES
Basic adjustments like text size are free in Paper. More advanced personalization can be purchased with Pro Features. You will not be buying anything blindly though. The trial period for Pro Features is untimed so you can take your time to decide if they are a worthy investment.
While trialing Pro Features you might occasionally see a popup. Just press Reset in the popup to get rid of it completely.
Pro Features is either a subscription or a one-time purchase. Both the subscription and the one-time purchase unlock Pro Features on all your iPhones and iPads that share the same Apple ID. This subscription (or one-time purchase) applies only to iPhones and iPads. Macs require a separate subscription (or one-time purchase).
The one-time purchase is hidden by default. To enable it go to the Settings app, scroll down, select Paper, and under Purchases toggle Show Lifetime Option.
In case you want to upgrade from a Monthly subscription to a Yearly one (or to a Lifetime license) go to Paper’s page in the App Store and press the rounded button with the price next to the Yearly subscription option (or next to the Lifetime in-app purchase).

Organise your book into chapters and scenes:
To get an overview, you can organise your book introduction into small blocks. They're called chapters and they contain several scenes. Scribble your ideas on the built-in corkboard and move them around as you like. Add summaries to the cards on your Corkboard and get a rough outline of your story. The corkboard automatically syncs with your story outline so everything is always up to date.

Integrated rich text editor with spell checking
Write on the fly with the powerful built-in rich text editor. Easily format your content with bold, italic or indented text to add style to your story. Use this editor for your scenes, character descriptions and locations.
- Rich text editor with many styles for your content
- Built-in linking for characters and locations
- Spell check and basic grammar check
- Full screen mode
Dynamic linking of characters and locations:
When you create a new character or location, you can use the rich text editor to dynamically add it to your text. This creates a link to the character and if you later rename it, it will automatically update in all your texts. So don't worry about renaming everything manually and take the time to write the next chapter of your book.
- Create characters and locations
- Link them to your texts and they'll be updated automatically when things change.
Export your book:
When you're ready, or if you want to share a sneak preview, you can use the built-in book export. This will export all your chapters with the scenes to your favourite word processor such as MS Word or LibreOffice Writer. You can use this for sharing or even as a backup for yourself.
