The guide section basics

It’s time to address the features available in all guide sections, most notably the add note feature.

• Instructions available only in initial state
• Features on the section heading bar directly
• Features in the section heading bar menu
• Feature in the settings menu
• The Add Note at the bottom of each guide section

At this point, I no longer consider it necessary to show the function of collapse/expand options.

Initial state instructions

When a guide is first opened, a blue instruction box appears telling the user what type of input is expected. Note that when there is no default value, the input box will also name the type of input expected. Using Sermons as an example, one sees from the Command box options that Sermons can take multiple types of data as input.

These result in different instructions in the opened guide, with the Bible reference guide defaulting to the last used value.

Section heading bar

The section heading bar has two common formats. The first is for guide sections that have no settable options:

The second is for guide sections that have settable options, most frequently allowing the choice of collections against which to run the section.

Note that passage lists can be manually edited or automatically merged with other passage lists to produce new lists containing:
