Sending the content of a note to a Sermon Document

Graham Criddle

The release notes for 8.4 beta 1 have:

• Added the ability to send the content of a note to a Sermon Document.

This is really helpful but a couple of things:

It only seems to have the ability to send to a new Sermon Document not one that is already open. Could the option of sending to an open document be added?

And sending the note results in copying the contents of the anchor as well (even when it is an "anchor by reference")

Is this actually what is intended?

It only seems to have the ability to send to a new Sermon Document not one that is already open. Could the option of sending to an open document be added?

We experimented with this while developing the internal alpha, but the Sermon panel wasn't supporting the slide auto-creation when sending new content to an existing document. We don't want to ship a feature that feels broken, but it would have taken further effort to find and fix this issue in the Sermons code. Since our current priority for Notes is feature parity with old notes, which didn't support sending to a new [correction] an existing Sermon, we decided to punt on that for now.

sending the note results in copying the contents of the anchor... Is this actually what is intended?

Yes; again, this matches the functionality of old notes. We also internally debated whether that is the best behavior, and decided to leave it: It's easier to remove it from the Sermon than add it.
