What would you say is the best tool for reading monograph.
Notes Tool and why?
Clippings and why?
Hi Lukas —
It comes down to personal preference and what you are using the notes or clippings for. I use highlights/notes when I want to see something in context. I highlight using a color of preference for the type of highlight so that they stand out in my notebooks (yellow for monographs, green for Bible, etc.). Then if I make a note, I will also put my own searchable inline tag, though you can use Logos tags for this. My current inline tags are: .insight .concept .claim .? .zettle .quote. The reason I use inline tags is that I export these highlights and notes to Capacities to combine them with Kindle, Snipd and other highlights from Readwise. The inline tag is universal in all services that I use, so I can do global searches in my exported highlights regardless of which platform they came from.
I use clippings when I want to build quotes with ready-made citations that I plan to use in my writing. (papers, talks, posts) I do this when I need clear quotations with page refs. I don't use them so much now that I am not engaged in formal studies. I think of clippings like the old-style note cards we used to use in University. When I used them to write papers, I would export all my clippings to DevonThink, along with other books I had been reading, and then I would start building my papers from these cards. In this use case, clippings were better than highlights for more formal outputs.
Experiment and play with both… I personally would love it if Logos would allow us to sync highlights to Readwise like Kindle does, but for now, it is a manual operation for me.

Bibleworks allowed users to choose from portions of the Bible that had descriptive headers. Example: Exodus 2:1 - Birth and Youth of Moses Logos only lists chapters with no descriptive headings. How can I get the same function that Bibleworks offered in Logos?
I own The Babylon Talmud and Jerusalem talmud . Logos has not organized the volumns as are my hard copies. Im trying to find Yoma 39a. This info is vital in our sharing the Gospel.40 years before the distruction of the Temple the Red Rag never again turned white . The menorah would not stay lit and the doors of the Temple…
I just noticed that the most recent update of my desktop Logos (legacy) has had the "fuzzy" search option removed, leaving only the option to subscribe for "Smart" search for other than "Precise" search. Is the former fuzzy search no longer available? If it still available, how to do I restore it as an option?
My Logos subscription started 12/1/24. I thought AI credits were supposed to reset on the day of the month a person's subscription started—so for me, the first of each month. But when I logged on today (Feb. 1), my AI credit status showed I had already used 4% of my monthly credits. Am I mistaken about the credit reset…
What's the best way to find parallel accounts in other Gospels if I'm working with/in the Gospel of John? I know there's the Parallel Gospel Reader, but I would love if there was something faster, with synchronous scrolling alongside my open Bible tab. Is there anything I can link up like the Concordance Intertext tool…
