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?
@Dave Hooton
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.

Build your biblical library with a new trusted commentary or resource every month. Yours to keep forever.
I would like there to be a feature incorporated that allows the ai to take this into account and not just assume that Calvinistic interpretations are the true and correct baseline for understanding the Bible in it's responses to me. I have the Pro subscription and have purchased a few other library offerings and other…
The above is an example of a jump menu taken from the taskbar icon for Word. It is available via a right-click instead of the more common context menu. As you can see, it allows me to open the app and load a particular document in the same click. As a general class, jump menus allow one to jump to documents or tasks. I…
Currently the inline interlinear offers Strongs and Louw-Nida. These are very useful for a quick "hover over" to see two different dictionary entries about a word being studied. Request enable other owned dictionaries to be displayed there. Ideally two new features would be added: all owned dictionaries would be available…
After 30 years of upgrading my Logos for thousands of dollars, I refuse to be blackmailed into a subscription. now i search or use factbook and most of the resources are clickbait for a subscription trial. Why not offer a toggle for those who do not wish to purchase a subscription (AND NEVER WILL!!!) that removes the…
I am a long-time Logos user and would like to submit a constructive feature request regarding Notes and highlighting on iOS, particularly for iPad users who do sustained reading and annotation. This is a longstanding issue that may have a viable solution. The issue: On iOS, Logos uses a single global default notebook for…
