Please add the ability to "nest" notebooks into one another, or organise them into folders. It would make managing a large number of notebooks easier.

    Yes, notebooks, especially since some are created automatically, are messy in their current implementation.

    Yes, this has become unwieldy. We need to be able to have a file explorer view to manage our growing notebooks, clippings, personal books.

    I find the same problem. Notebooks without organization are completly useless.

    Im working currently with OneNote, but it doesnt work out because of the limited options for subfolders...
    I would LOVE to move to Logos with all the Folders i already have there.
    We are talking about 400+ Folders collected in just 2 Jears!!
    Because of this we need a Folder-Option with unlimited Subfolders for Notebooks!

    Subfolders in Notebooks are one of the greatest Advantages over having just a Book. Please make that possible!
    Thats a thing thats keeping me from buying Logos 9!

    @joel-tuchscherer-50 To me, the notebook as it is, is not very workable. I am new to logos and I signed up for 9 for the organizational qualities it seemed to have. I like the Sermon prep and manager, but I thought the notebook would be different than what it is. I use a notebook in a very different way than what seems to be possible through logos.

    @pastorbunker-41 its the same with me. I use it for organizing things in very many categorys for deep personal research. In OneNote i have 400+ Folders in a Notebook about the Bible. But i need more levels of folders in order to organize. I am currently fighting for a workable version with folders and subfolders.
    Please like the other "notebook-folders-requests" so the developers work on it.
    A biblesoftware should offer a good organization in notebooks due to its complexity.

    I believe that if one can have multiple notebooks with multiple folders it would very well eliminate the confusion with the current notes feature.

    With this feature, you could title a notebook as a book in the bible and tab it out by chapter. Within the tab you could take notes as you please. You could sub-tab by verse.
    Or, you could create a notebook with a topic title and tab it out as you please. It seems there are many options one could benefit by this feature.

    I really enjoy the Sermon Manager. This really frees up your time spent organizing sermons. I have been preaching an average of 3 sermons a week for the last 15 years, it is nice to have this available. I could really use the notebook/Tabs feature as a way to enhance my study versus using notebooks to organize my sermons. If I could have the ability to reference my notes more readily by name and title/subtitle/tabs etc. i think it would be a great benefit.

    @pastorbunker-41 Thats right. Thats the most important feature missing for me in the moment. =)
    We'll pray, it happens very soon^^

    @joel-tuchscherer-50 Why not just use tags within the notebooks?
  • Joel Tuchscherer
    Joel Tuchscherer Member Posts: 11
    @davidtaylorjr Because Tabs are just like many Folders in a Row. But if you have Folders with Subfolders you can organize and bundle the topics.
    For Example: Topic: Love
    Subfolders: -Gods love to us
    -What is love
    -Expressions
    -Orientation of Love (Subfolders: Selflove, Love God, Love People, love Family, Wife, .......)
    And even much deeper than that. Just a small example.
    And just with tags its never nearly the same.

    YES!
  • This is something I would really like to see. At the moment I am using an external notes application for most of my notes but I would really prefer to have them inside Logos
  • This is the missing link in the notes feature, please include it in the next release of Logos. You will make us so happy

    This is definitely needed especially in the newest form of the Notes tool.
  • Yes, what I want is similar to this. However, I believe this will be an asset for me as well. Ex. I am doing a 2 year Journey Through the Bible. Each book of the Bible is a Note Book, ex. JTTB Genesis, JTTB Exodus etc. I want those nested.
    But going further, the two year reading plan is divided into segments, I want the notes created for each segment, Bible and resources, to be nested in the note I call Isaiah 1-3:16, the plan reading segment, ex. What I highlight in the bible and resource, the bible references included in the resource and bible and the footnotes. I still want my Bible and resources to be individualized but nested under the Reading Plan segment if I so choose.

    A flow chart would be a better visual and if you are having a problem with the visual as I've explained I would be happy to do a version of a flow chart for you. TY

    YES
  • YES! Please add this. One of the biggest downfalls for my personal library is the inability to organize notes.

    Yep, that would be fantastic!

    I use tagging and anchors to have an approach tonested notebooks but the visual way of seeing multiple notebooks would make a better user experience for users and those thinking about purchasing.

    I agree. Adding sub-folders isn't just a want but a much-needed, long overdue necessity. Praying it is added soon.

    Would help to organize the notes better
  • The ability to nest folders will seriously improve note taking in logos. Please consider implementing this change.  Tags are an adjunct to folders they are not a replacement.  The usability Logos notes will take a leap forward when nested folders are added.

    Would be great to have. Currently, notes are difficult to find. With applications such as one note I was able to immediately find my notes based on organization with folder/subfolders. Different organizational levels would make Logos invaluable.

    I wait for Folders since i have Logos. It is the one thing, that keeps me from working with the notes. Because i wont be able to find them fast. Unlimited depths (Layers) in Folders would be something, i would use a lot.

    The current Notes system is great - the sidebar facets, notebooks and search functions are great improvements over the old notes system.  However, the notes are still in one big bucket.  My mind thinks more like an outline or a file cabinet. Folders with sub-folders (at least 5 levels) are a more natural way to group notes like any other documents we use in life- digital or physical.  A folder system along with the sidebar facets, notebooks and search functions would be a much easier and more accurate way to store and retrieve our notes.

    I would find this very helpful. Right now, I had to implement a folder naming convention to make sure my notebooks sort categorically. Folders would eliminate that. Would actually be better if Docs could also have a folder structure. Or if Docs, Notes, and Shortcuts could all work from the same folder structure. Personally, I don't need notes to live at different levels of the notebook hierarchy. I'm not interested in recreating the Mac's finder (i.e., windows explorer) within Logos.
