Is there any way to change the id of a Personal Book? I have some shared notes that have links in them to point to a personal book. I want to share these notes with others however when they click on the links they get a message they do not have the resource because the same Personal Book has a different personal book id. on their system.

Thanks

Bob

    None that I know of

    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."

    i think the only way is to change the link on each note as required (not in one go) i.e.

    • select the link text in the Note
    • click the Link icon above and copy the address e.g. logosres:pbb:de78698e84fa404fa9d30d9c2ea23064;hw=Other_Refs.
    • paste it somewhere in the Note
    • open the PB
    • click the panel menu icon and click L4 at the bottom
    • paste the link in the Note e.g. logosres:pbb:a3ee734856a54d97b2fcd2d5fe2cb087;art=a$5Fchapter5$5F2;off=5582
    • copy the pbb identity (bold) and paste it in the original link address i.e. logosres:pbb:a3ee734856a54d97b2fcd2d5fe2cb087;hw=Other_Refs
    • reselect the link text in the Note and paste the new link address into the Link box.

    It doesn't matter if the link addresses have different formats (e.g. one begins https://ref.ly/) - just replace the pbb identity as above. There will be problems if the other user made changes to your docx file and rebuilt the PB!

    This seems to be the case. Thanks Dave for your reply. I will see if I can come up with a suitable alternative.
