what is the purpose of - unify anchors and notes
I tried this feature (v9) on a small notebook to see what it does. I had 8 notes each with on anchor. 5 of the anchors point to the same resource but different places in the text. When I selected all the notes and selected the "unify anchor" option, all the notes now contain 8 anchors each. What is the point of this feature and in what context would you use it? Thanks... HT

What is the point of this feature and in what context would you use it?
As far as I can remember I had not come across this feature until you menitoned it just now!
I can speculate on some possible uses - if, for example, I had made a number of notes on the same event as told in different Gospels I could unify the anchors so that each note pointed was linked to each parallel account.
But I can't really see many situations where I might use it.
Others may have some much more useful ideas.

I did some playing around with this in my seminary studies. I read a lot of resources and wanted to group my notes by resource and tags. Here's what I tried. Say I'm reading Book1 and make anchor notes for topics T1 T2, T3. T1 has 2 notes S1, S2 . T2 has S3, S4, S5 and T3 has S6, S7. My list of notes by date show T1, S1, S2, T2, S3, S4, S5, T3, S6, S7. I selected all T1, S1, S2, applied a "unity anchor". T2, S3, S4, S5, applied a "unity anchor". T3, S6, S7 and applied a "unity anchor". Now when I select any of these notes individually I see all the anchors tied together for each topic. Filtering the book and selecting the "full view" I can read all my notes from this book and each topic's notes.
Hope this makes sense... HT

I use Unify Anchors to combine all of my highlights from a particular resource. I usually unify all of the anchors from each chapter of a resource. This allows me to export the highlights into a text document for multiple uses. It also drastically reduces the amount of highlight "notes" that I have. After unifying the highlight notes, I delete all but one of the notes.
