Allow us to archive a notebook instead of only giving the option to delete it. It would also be great if we could show or hide the notes/highlights from an entire notebook instead of having to do it in the visual filter menu on a per book basis.
You can delete a Notebook and it will be 'archived' in Trash (pending permanent deletion or recovery).

The sidebar allows you to do this in the Notes tool. What did you have in mind?
To archive I put ZZ in front of the notebook name.
You can deselect a notebook from showing anchors on desktop resources. (I don't think you can specify notebooks not to appear on mobile or web)
Do you have a specific reason for archiving as distinct from deleting notebooks?

Trash
That's cool, I didn't know that there was a "Trash". Thank you!
That only effects the list of notebooks you can see in the notes tool. It doesn't turn those notebooks on/off in your Bible/Books. I want to be able to quickly make all the highlights and notes inside a notebook not visible in my Bible/Books (especially on mobile).
@Alan saunders
That only causes it to go to the bottom of the list, right?
Yes, but it would be better if you could show/hide the entire notebook from mobile/web/desktop. I don't mean show/hide from the filtered list of notes, I mean show/hide the notes/highlights in your books/bible from the notebook level instead of from the visual filter menu.
Here are a few:
I'm intrigued. Inappropriate notes in your Bible...? What, like, 'Charlie's an idiot and needs to read what Proverbs says about fools'??
😉
I have a note about lust, adultery, and masturbation that I wouldn’t want popping up when I was teaching Sunday school or something (I don’t teach Sunday school, but if I did….).
@Chuck Kelley I want to be able to quickly make all the highlights and notes inside a notebook not visible in my Bible/Books (especially on mobile).You want to re-read a Bible/Book with a "clean" view without highlights or notes. On Mobile this is almost impossible. This can only be accomplished by deleting and undeleting the notebook (which I just learned about above).Its cumbersome to have to go into each book/bible to turn off/on each notebook instead of being able to do it system wide.

The current system wide method would be to delete/archive the Notebook and then undelete after teaching or personal use (the 'delete' has low overhead as it merely sets/unsets a flag against the Notebook in the database).
If you often use many different bible texts, then you have to turn on/off the notebook for each bible text or book in the visual filters menu.
I almost forgot the 'old' resource toolbar as the new toolbar displays Notes directly (for subscription users), but it doesn't affect matters.
OK, yes, I SEE, @Chuck Kelley
You can fairly easily control whether a notebook is visible in the Bible itself.Go to the Notes tab of any Bible → click Show notes and highlights → find the notebook you don’t want to display → right‑click on it (or click the three dots) → choose Do not show in any books.
That works well, but it might not be a bad idea if the Notes tool itself allowed you to assign such properties directly to a notebook.
WHAT??? I didn't know you can do that?!?!? How do I do that in Mobile?
Excuse me for not realizing you were talking about the mobile app and not the desktop app. I'm just a user myself, trying to give a response.
Don't apologize! That was super helpful. I did do some testing and I can't find any way to do the same thing in mobile. Also, I turned off a notebook on desktop using your method and that does not carry over to mobile.
I think seeing notes/highlights in the mobile app is all or nothing.
That’s my understanding as well. That is what I would like changed.
Thanks. That's my experience too. The notes tool isn't as developed in the mobile app as it is in the desktop app. And I assume the notes tool in the desktop app is still older, platform-dependent code, so features can't be ported to the mobile app quickly.

I've been playing with (and using) the AI TTS voices and features of apps such as Speechify, Peech, Natural Reader, etc. These high-quality, natural human-sounding, non-robotic voices have made my reading (listening) so much more productive. Some of the features (such as tracking-highlight during read-aloud, option to skip…
Can you please provide reading plan(s) for the Tora portions which are read every Sabbat? With the Haftarah and readings from the NT. I am trying to make one, but it is almost impossible. And I have tried a lot as you can see in my other post. I am sadly suprised that this ancient global tradition has no prominent place in…
I want to be able to auto-open Logos when I boot my Mac and allow it to load, update, re-index, download, whatever in the background, minimized before I need it. Today, I can't do that because it opens full screen no matter what.
Right now when you hover over a Greek or Hebrew word in a book you will get a pop up that has the root word, a short definition, and a graph of how that word is used. Could the parsing be added to this pop up to explain what tense, person, etc. this word is.
When you are using the Sermon Builder tool and you import text (for example "Deuteronomy 1" then hitting "Tab"), the proper name of the LORD goes from all caps to lowercase. For example, if a verse says, "the LORD", it'll import "the Lord". This can be quite confusing for a sermon prepper!
