ref.ly help

Jerry Bush · 2025-02-27T15:06:02+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I've been using Logos for 25 years and somehow missed the L4 link abilities and never learned it. Now with the move to rf.ly, I want to understand it.

How do I use it and what are some examples of its use?

When can it be used and when can it not?

I can't seem to find what I am looking for in the help manual in Logos. If there is something you can point me to or answer here, I would be grateful.

I primarily use refly links in my notes for quick reference.

Ref.ly links come in handy any time having a link to a specific location within a resource would be helpful.

Perhaps one is in a Bible or book study group. One could use a ref.ly link while engaging in online discussion. People very commonly also use them in external applications.

Can you give me a real-use example? I am not finding it in my left-click context menu.

Does it not work in books or Bibles?

Sorry I am so confused!

Aaron Hamilton

No problem! It should work in both books and Bibles. You can copy a refly link that will bring you to a specific location within a resource. This is done by clicking Share → Copy link. Once copied, you can insert that link, for example as I have done, into a note.

Thanks @Aaron Hamilton for posting about refly links. This will work nicely in my notes! Thanks again brother.

Jerry Bush

@Aaron Hamilton, thanks for taking the time to do that!

Really appreciate it.

One more question for anyone: Are notes the only place you would put a link like that?

I tried making links in Sermon Builder but looks like it does not work there unless I am missing something.

I tried the same and arrived at the same conclusion. However, it's always possible this functionality will be added in the future (you could make a feature request if it's important to you).

What I really need to do is become more adept at using the Notes tool, especially having notes connected to a sermon.
