You can even import a manuscript in, and it will split up the word file automatically into chapters/scenes.

You can drag and drop it, which is much easier than copying/pasting. This is very helpful when you realize that a scene really needed to happen earlier. It provides word count tracking, which is great for those with writing goals. It displays word count for scene, chapter, and the novel. The tools it provides in the writing process, and especially the editing process, are great. By having each scene as a separate file, you avoid the problems that sometimes occur with large word files for the entire manuscript, and you also don’t have to keep closing/opening files if, say, you have one for each chapter. yWriter is actually an editing software (you can actually write your novel in the software), and there are some benefits to using it like that.

So you just use it as an outlining software? That’s strange.
