One important thing to note is that on the Mac a Scrivener project will appear to be a file with a ".scriv" extension, while on Windows, it will appear to be a folder with a ".scriv" extension, as pictured below: You will be able to use the same source file across Mac and Windows devices (so long as you are not doing so simultaneously - the project should only be opened on a single device at any given time.) There will never be a need to convert or export your project if all you wish to do is work on another computer.

The Scrivener project format is fully cross-platform compatible. You will also need to have Scrivener 3 installed on both your Mac and Windows computers. Note: To work cross-platform, you will need a separate Scrivener licence for each platform.
