Help Moving Custom Highlight Style Into Specific Notebook

Is there a way to search for all highlights that were made using a specific style in a custom palette and movie all of them to a specific notebook?

I created a highlight style called "Memory Verses".  Now I want to find all of these verses and move them into a notebook called "Memory Verses" so I can keep them all together and easily searchable.

Is this possible?

Currently all of my highlights in my "Self Study" palette go to a "Highlights" notebook.  Now I'm trying to separate out just the memory verses from the rest.

    It is possible to do as you request but they are "easily searchable" without having to change Notebooks. If you wish to use the new Notebook for this purpose, you must ensure that new highlights are directed to that Notebook.

    You can find your existing highlights using {Highlight Memory Verse}. If the style name is not unique, use {Highlight Self Study/Memory Verse}

    In the Notes tool, click on the Notebook  Filter, select your Notebook name  then click on Type > Highlights, select a range of highlights (from search results), and select a Notebook name within the Notebook header (create the Memory Verses Notebook first if necessary).

    Thanks.  I've already created and saved a search for the "Memory Verse" highlights.  The issue is I cannot move them to a notebook from there.

    Finding highlights inside the notebook tool is also limited in that you cannot filter by a particular style within a palette.  I can move "Memory Verse" to a new palette so that all future highlights using that style go to a particular notebook, but I cannot move existing highlights.

    EDIT:  For now I've created a saved Passage List from the search.  This is OK stop gap solution until I can figure out a way to move all the verses to a notebook.

    Have you tried what I suggested? You can sort the highlights within that Notebook so you can compare the passages to the search results and select a number of them (Shift-click) to be moved to a new Notebook.

    Maybe I'm not understanding your instructions fully.  I tried sorting the passages in my "Highlights" Notebook, but there's no way for me to sort or filter by a particular style so that I can select them and move them to another notebook.  Here is a screenshot.  What am I missing?

    By default, highlights are not saved in a specific notebook. You can set the notebook in which highlighting from a specific palette is saved. To do this, right-click the palette name, hover over Notebook, and select the notebook in which you want those highlights to appear.

    Thanks.  The issue is I had already done that and now wanted to move a specific style out of the notebook I had designated.  Moving my highlight style and setting a new notebook doesn't move the existing highlights to the new notebook so I was looking for a solution.

    I am moving my "Memory Verse" highlight style to a new palette with a new notebook designated so that future highlights will be in the correct notebook. 

    I would be nice if Logos allows for different notebooks to be assigned to styles within a palette rather than just at the palette level.
