Notes/Highlights across all bible translations?

I've created a note for the book of Hebrews for a class and just realized that the notes are only showing up in my NASB (the text I'm using for this class) but I want the note to show up across all Bibles (at the very least my ESV) as well.

My ESV visual filters show this Note selected but the notes and highlights are not present.

Help?

Welcome to the forums!

If you are not a Logos NOW subscriber, you'll need to attach your note to the verse reference instead of to the text. This will then allow you to see your note, not only in all Bibles, but also in any other versified resources such as commentaries.

If you do subscribe to Logos NOW, you can (as of a couple weeks ago!) see your note that's been attached to a word in your NASB in any other Reverse Interlinear bible or the LHB and SBLGNT. This is done through the "Corresponding Notes and Highlights" visual filter.

Welcome! [:)]

Highlghts, by current definition, are notes of SELECTION, and as such, show up only at the selection level... That is to say at the word/phrase/sentence, etc. that you select in the SINGLE resource. I have not been beta testing and don't know about the new feature or how it may or may not work. Currently, however, there is NO way to make a highlight appear in multiple translations. A regular note, however, can be attached to a REFERENCE, which will then appear in ALL "versified" resources at that reference point.

It works well - but is currently only available for Logos Now subscribers

This feature is in the stable release of 6.8 so no longer in beta testing

Is there a concise explanation of what the feature does and how to use it? Does it work with normal highlights or do you have to do something special? In the longstanding "why don't highlights appear across translations," there have been many distinct needs being talked about. Which one(s) does this meet?

Thanks Graham. You know many users will be pleased. As for me, it gives the garbled results I expected and I don't think I will use the feature. To be honest, it would be too easy to confuse which note file the highlight was coming from. IMO it would be better if those notes were noticably faded.

In what way do you get garbled results?

This does work with "normal" highlights. Notes/highlights cannot be edited/deleted from a "guest" resource, only from the resource where it was originally created. Also, having "corresponding notes and highlights" turned on and having a specific note file selected in the original "host" resource does NOT turn on the highlight, this is still only controlled via the main "notes and highlights" menu. The highlight need not, however, be turned on in the host resource for it to show in "guest" resources (see screenshots...the note was created in the ESV). This note is attached to the English word(s) in the ESV, yet appear at the correct English words in the other versions, thanks to this awesome feature!

I am not complaining. It works exactly as I expected it to and as I explained to users how it would work (if tied to RI). I don't have internet connection for my laptop at present, but it should be pretty obvious. If a highlighted phrase/verse in a more "word for word" translation meets a more "thought for thought" one, words and or phrases will be left unhighlighted. Again, this is to be expected, but not desirable for how/why I highlight. Also, as I said above, I would want it CLEAR that the highlight comes from another document. My suggestion would be opacity.

Oh... I do have one MAJOR concern... Highlighting performance, especially on mobile, has depended on 1) using small note documents and 2) not having too many notes cumulatively in a given resource. Will this feature cause performance to go to pot if it migrates to mobile?

It's not immediately clear why it would. It isn't adding more highlights to any documents - rather displaying them "on demand".

And, my guess is that - as this is a Logos Now feature - it will be some time before this is available on mobile anyway.

Perhaps I didn't explain myself clearly enough. Performance, at least as I have found, can be severely hampered with EITHER large note documents OR with the accumulation of many note documents which would add up to "a lot." In light of this, I typically change my devotional bible each year and wipe the note document I used... Plus I have been more judicious in my highlights through the year. If all of a sudden ALL highlights from ALL translations became accessible in ALL translations, could that not cause a problem? I don't know that it will, but I don't know that it won't and truthfully... FL's track record of "thinking ahead" hasn't been very good.

If that doesn't end up causing problems, I could see myself using this feature, but only if they gave me some sort of opacity control.
