To those who work with scrivener, is there an easier way to work with edits done in word?
Post Body

My situation is this:

I outline and write in Scrivener. I do my own edits in scrivener and keep my notes for the story there as well. Each scene has a ton of notes, keywords, outline content, and other information I don't want to lose.

My editor works in word. I run a compile for them to produce a word doc containing the manuscript and nothing else.

They get it back to me with a bunch of comments and corrections that I go through one at a time. The problem is I don't want to edit in word. Sure, I could then upload the new document to scrivener, but then I'd lose all scrivener formatting styles and my notes and which I like having because they're easier to search than the entire document when referencing info during a later book. Having to add these edits in manually by finding each spot in the text and then changing things is really tedious and adds a lot of time.

I have to be going about this wrong somehow. Is there a better way to integrate edits from word with scrivener?
