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.

How can I set up the Bible Recap Reading plan to go by the days laid out in the resource, so I am current with the podcast meaning Logos feeds me day by day according the the appropriate day of the year the current reading? When I set the plan up myself, it goes by page numbers in the book and not by the book's already…
Anyone know the source of transliteration for nouns in the translation ring of the context menu (and in EG), whether accessed from an English (ESV) or Hebrew Bible (LHB)? 2. Also, is it possible that the Logos version of some resources add this translation ring transliteration (that is, the hard copies do not contain it)?…
I have Logos on desktop, my iPad, and my Android phone. I do a lot of my reading on the iPad, including my daily Bible-reading plan. The desktop and the iPad are in sync with each other on the reading plan, but the Android app is not updating. I have tried clearing the cache in the app, but that did not make a difference.…
Is there any way to constrain a Web App bible search to specific books of the bible, as in the desktop? I see no obvious way to do it. I find it hard to believe this is as impossible as it seems as this is pretty basic functionality. Want me going to biblegateway.com? 🤣 I wanted to search only the book of Acts for…
