Wow - I just got that to work. I tried it and got nothing, as I had in the past, then I tried to export it to PDF and got a warning transcluded files have to be in the library.
Fortunately, since I avoid cloud storage for creative work, you can drag a local folder to the locations area in the library and transclusion works from that.
Cool deal!

That’s great. Thanks. I didn’t realize that transclusion is supported.

The transclusion feature has a quirk or two, but I don’t think they are too bad.
It doesn’t seem to like folders and sub-folders in the Locations or Favorites areas.
In any case, you have to use the iA Writer library path, which you can get by right clicking on an item and using Copy->Copy Library Path, for transclusion.

In the Windows version, I cannot find the Copy->Copy Library Path command. :-(
Right now, having all the files in the same folder does the trick for me (I use it only once in a while so it’s not a big thing for me).

I use a Mac. If I right-click on an entry in the Library I get a context menu that includes “Copy >”.
Hover on Copy and I get another menu with different forms of copy, including copy library path.
Not sure how it looks in Windows - good luck!
