Favorites

Save a favorite article, passage, search result, person, place, or thing, document, etc. so you can find them again easily.
  1.      Click on Tools | Favorites.
  2.      With a resource, guide, or other panel open to a favorite spot, click the Add button on the Favorites toolbar. Or, drag the resource or other tab into the Favorites panel to add it.
  3.      To organize favorites by resource, subject, etc., click on the New Folder button, then drag and drop a favorite onto the folder name to file it there.
  4.      External links, such as documents and program shortcuts can also be dragged to the Favorites panel.


Bookmarks

Bookmarks are quick-access temporary favorites that can be called up with a keystroke. You can have up to nine bookmarks at a time. To set them up:
  1.      In the lower third of the Favorites panel are a set of nine bookmark placeholders. (If you do not see numbers 1-9, and the double arrows next to Bookmarks are pointing to the right, click to expand that section.)
  2.      Click on an available Bookmark to set the active resource at its current location. You can also drag the resource tab down to an available bookmark number or press the corresponding shortcut keys to set it.
  3.      Click on an assigned bookmark to open the resource, document, etc. to the saved location. You can also use the shortcut keys to open it.
  4.      To remove a bookmark, right-click on it and choose Clear, or click on the X next to it.

I agree with MJ.  Dragging the resource to the Favorites is a great way to keep track of where you are.  I have created a folder in my Favorites which is labeled: "To Read or Investigate" as well as one for current reading.  This method has two advantages over the Logos supplied bookmarks.  First, you are not limited to 9.  You can even create sub-folders if you wish to accumulate reading material by subject.  The second advantage is that you can access Favorites from mobile devices and locate your bookmarks when you are reading there.

This morning I was prepping for a Logos tutorial session I am planning with a local seminary professor who is a new Logos user and I invented a new way to keep bookmarks, albeit overly complicated.  I had scarfed up a Coffee Stain graphic years ago from the Logos forums and installed it on its own graphics palette. [I performed a Google search, but couldn't find the original post.] The original purveyor of the graphic suggested that he tended to read heads down without breaks for hours.  He came up with the idea of a coffee stain graphic to be pasted into the margin of his books a fixed number of pages ahead so that he would be reminded to take a break.

I wound up pasting it as a gag bookmark so that I could locate my place later, but I didn't have a good way to employ it.  As I was investigating palettes, I realized that I could create a specific "Bookmarks" notes file and direct this highlighting style directly to this file.  Thus, I have a distinctive bookmark, a notes file where they all accumulate, and a method for locating where I am from my PC or my mobile devices.  Furthermore, it also does not suffer from the 9 bookmark limit.

The limitations are that the resource names employed by Logos are the shorthand names which can be unfamiliar and I am unable to place this bookmark while on my mobile device since I use the device-wide setting of "Resource Specific notes file". This second limitation is a big deal for me since I tend to do most of my reading from my mobile devices.
