    Count me in as someone who just doesn’t get notes.  I tried.  I really did.  If someone is willing to explain to me how you use word or onenote outside of logos to store your notes, I’d Appreciate that.

    Cynthia,

    I think that Graham is pointing out that notes is evolving and it may be too early to throw in the towel.  Just consider that notes stored off the reservation will not be searched as your personal content with a Logos search.  That alone, has made me willing to wait a few months.

    BTW: I am a heavy user of OneNote notebooks and have even set up collaborative sharing of notebooks at work.  I tend to take Sunday School and class notes in OneNote. But I wouldn't want to have my Logos research in a OneNote notebook just for the searching issue.  Searching in OneNote is "hokey" and not nearly as powerful as Logos searches.

    I am 70+ years old and like many others do find new things hard to grasp.

    However, I am determined to get to grips with notes as I think using anything outside of Logos for is never going to be as good as keeping within the software.

    To that end I have been through all the links I could find and have searched the internet for everything I could find on the new notes system. I set aside a few days just to watch and read them all. After about three days I was able to then determine how I would make use of the system.

    i have added loads of notes and, aside from the ’known‘ issues (which are noted and being worked on) I am finding the system really easy to use.

    Stick with it if you can - when you get that ’lighbulb’ moment you will be so glad that you did.

    Blessings to all my fellow Bible Studiers.

    My recommendation would be to have a 1 Peter Notebook, and then immediately create a note for "Table of Contents". Then add all your other notes, and link to those from the Table of Contents.

    I like this idea Mark. Could each item in a table of contents link to another Notebook or will it only work linking to a Note? How do you do the linking?

    Can Notebooks or Notes be nested? like ...

    1 Peter Notebook

    --Outline

    --Paragraph Summaries

    --Key Words

          --Suffer

          --Holy

    --Observations

    --And So On

    I know this is years too late. Hope you found a solution in the last few years. If not, consider the following explanation (https://community.logos.com/forums/p/198490/1150563.aspx#1150563)
