Lists and Tables on iOS

Because Scrivener for iOS is bound by the limitations of Apple's built-in text engine, unfortunately the iOS app does not officially support tables and only has limited support for bullets and lists. Specifically:

• Lists and tables created in the Mac or Windows versions of Scrivener will be opened, displayed and saved correctly in our iOS version, with no data loss.
• You can only create lists that are one level deep. The creation of nested lists is not supported on iOS. However, you can safely edit any existing nested lists carried over from the desktop version, including editing existing lines and adding new lines at levels that already exist.
• You cannot create or insert tables in the iOS version, and editing tables is limited to changing the text in each cell.

Known Issue: We are aware of a bug whereby a table can be damaged when adding text to previously empty cells. For example, the cell(s) around it might merge or shift in a way that cannot be undone. The workaround would be to leave empty cells alone when editing on iOS, or to make sure each cell contains text in Scrivener for Mac or Windows before editing it on iOS, even if it is just placeholder text.
