    "12. The Notes functionality (which is already much better than Accordance) should be extended. Since I have too many Notebooks already, it is quite a bit to scroll in the list. I would suggest adding a possibility to build up a directory tree of Notebooks in the Notebooks view of Notes. Thus adding and editing and moving around both folders and notes, expand and diminish folders and sub-folders, i.e. functionality similar to a File explorer. A note should be possible to copy and add to several folders."
    (from Bjorn Petterson's long list)

    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.
  • Agree.  With one notebook per sermon, it’s getting a bit unwieldy. Like the folder paradigm including with unlimited nested folders.

    Yes, please. It would greatly improve my use of the Notebook feature if I could better organize it.
  • Great Idea I support it completely.

    This would be wonderful! 
  • I would so love this feature. It's the only way to keep your notes structured and organized. The one option you have now is to work with Tags. 
  • I agree that a folder/subfolder system is essential.

    In my opinion, in L10 the favorites tool is very helpful to organize notebooks in folders. It seems to me that the question for folders in the notes tool is less relevant than it was before L10 was launched. 
    However, I agree with the question. I experience the mess of notebooks not in the notes tool, but under the visual filters button. There appears an endless list of notebooks in the section "notes and highlights". And when I like to see only the highlights of one notebook, I have to turn them off all (but one) manually. I think this feature requires more than just adding folders to the notes tool, but also a good implementation of this at other places in L10. Notebooks are not only in the note tool! 
  • Subfolders in Notes please. Also cross reference within Notes. (i.e. - Notes linked with each other).

    Cannot work out what ANCHOR within Notes is used for?? Can anyone please explain. Thanks.

    Yes I vote for a major upgrade in NOTES. It is very rudimentary currently and has the potential to be powerful. Make it similar to NOTION.

    I like the notes feature and use it daily. I don't like the way notes work now, but I'm not sure how to fix it. Subfolders may work, but doesn't that create more confusion and dislocation of a note? I know it needs to be fixed. Maybe something like markdown language that Obsidian uses?

    Although I sympathize with everyone wanting this feature, I will say that even though I have a ton of notes personally I have found more than enough organization available with the use of tags. It's like having two types of categorization, two layers that don't necessarily nest allowing more capable organization in my opinion.

    Notes need help. I like the idea of nesting notebooks. I use Obsidian as well. I'm not really sure how, but there needs to be a way to connect stuff together other than linking.
