180g, the developers of Vellum, have announced on their blog that, as of May 2016, Vellum is no longer sold through the Mac App Store (see their blog for details). To receive future updates to Vellum, you will need to migrate to the Direct version.This simply means you will only be able to download the application from their website. You will not lose any purchases or books you have been working on.

We'll download the Vellum app and the sample material to use during the tutorial in Section 2. You can download the app from the Vellum website or in the Mac App Store. The sample content is available from the Vellum Tutorial page. Links are in the Resources tab.

Let's open the sample material to begin editing our manuscript.

What do you do if Vellum messes up your chapters?

I'll talk about prepping your manuscript with Element Styles to properly produce a Table of Contents. I'll show you how different devices present your Table of Contents and why it is important to include for your readers.
