Getting Started

You can upload a variety of files into Manifold, including: EPUBs i.e. from Standard Ebooks, Wikisource, or Project Gutenberg; Google Docs; Word .docx files; Markdown; and HTML.

Manifold will create a dynamic Table of Contents based on the chapter structure of EPUBS. Project Gutenberg EPUBS tend to be low quality and may display with some structural issues in Manifold. Whenever possible, use high quality EPUBS, such as those found on Standard Ebooks. When using other file types, you can either use a heading structure or multiple file ingestion with a manifest in order to create a project with a dynamic heading structure. To learn more about preparing texts for ingestion, see the walkthroughs section of our documentation.

When you are ready to create a Manifold project, these guides will help you get started:
