Workflow Editor Improvements
Comments

After starting an instance of a workflow, it would be helpful to be able to edit its title in the "Started Workflows" section of the guides menu.
Right now the generated titles say things like "My Sermon Preparation | Matthew 3:1-17"
I'd love to be able to edit that to include the date I'm planning to preach, or my sermon title, etc.

In my mind, this would be best served by the project name. What do you think?

The project name would work, but only if it was included in the guides menu.
As you can see, I have several sermon workflows underway. Currently, I'm preaching through Matthew so it isn't hard to remember which order they go in. But if I were preaching from several different books over the next month, it would be very helpful to see a date or sermon title associated with the workflow to make it easier to identify them quickly.

One simple addition I'd like to see, that I haven't seen suggested anywhere else, is the ability to switch "text" to "expandable text", or vice-versa. I've often started writing a text block, only to realise I want to say more than I expected.
This is my personal Faithlife account. On 1 March 2022, I started working for Faithlife, and have a new 'official' user account. Posts on this account shouldn't be taken as official Faithlife views!

Added to the list. Thanks for the suggestion.

- Option to specify Commentary Collection
- The commentary section should allow a collection of commentaries to be specified and display this within the workflow.
I sincerely believe this to be the most crucial missing feature.
I also note that:
MJ. Smith said:Bible Notes should behave like a Bible Commentary - Study Bibles are the prime example.
(See https://community.logos.com/forums/p/173607/1023581.aspx)
such that Bible Notes show up as parallel resources for commentaries. This would be helpful in various situations and would nicely complement allowing collections within Workflow Commentary sections.

The update in the newest Beta looks great!
I'm still looking forward to being able to click on the anchor and be taken to that spot in the workflow, but I like the preview.
(I'm not sure what they mean by "Added the ability to open the Notes Tool from a note icon within a workflow." That feels like functionality we already had)
The new compact view in the notes tool may also be helpful for scanning through a notebook with a lot of workflow notes.

Somehow it seems like I read somewhere that this is planned for this beta cycle (8.4), but I'm not positive.

My thought exactly which is why I asked about it.

When will Workflow development be continued? Without at least the top 3 (maybe top 6) of these suggestions addressed, there's simply no way I can use WFs.

I've just started creating my custom workflow. I have run into a significant problem (significant for me at least). When you are editing the workflow and choose to add a document, it reads "Create or open _____ document." Unfortunately, you run into a problem if you add a single type of document at several places in your workflow, intending to create separate documents each time. When you are actually using the workflow, you can create a new document (e.g., passage list or clippings) the first time, but you are forced to open the first document all of the other times. You don't have the option to create a new one. I need the option to create a new document for each of my steps.

You may want to consider mentioning your support for this project in Logos 9 Wishlist. Note that the original post requests references.
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
