Can I give another logos user a note file so they can open it and use it?

I created a "Study Outline" inside a Logos 4 note file. It was based on a video called "Herman Who?" (a take off on the word "hermeneutic" and it's sort of a "fill in the blanks" thing.

I'd like to give it to someone so they can open it up in Logos 4 and keep it as a "master bible study note taking file"...

Is that possible?

Not yet. Don't know if ever, but the need to share things like this has been brought up frequently.

You'd probably just have to print out the format so the person could recreate it in a note file.

This sounds somewhat like the Study Documents that were in L3 and never fully developed.

That's really a pity. I redid my Alpha Church Fathers note to be able to access the writings of the Church Fathers easily. This was something I began with L3 but hadn't fully completed (actually, it still isn't fully completed), but in L4 I can't share it with anyone. The same goes for my study notes on Revelation which I'm making in preparation for writing a commentary. Perhaps the only answer is to complete everything in L3 and post that. Once that is done someone would be able to put it in his L3 annotations folder and then import it into L4. Notes seems to be the proverbial "red-headed stepchild" in Logos. That's a shame since without a good notes function Logos is just another book-reading program with a few bells and whistles. Not being able to record and share notes adequately means that there is a continual process of re-inventing the wheel which is a very inefficient process.

Well...barring that....the only other alternative (other than Georges suggestion to use L3) is to copy the note file to a word doc...they cut/paste into a new note..and do the formatting to make it work....

bummer.

One other thing that would be nice...to be able to DUPLICATE a note file so after you've got your "master copy" then you can just duplicate it...change the title...fill in the blanks...and you're on your way....

As it is...I had to create a new note file...and cut/paste all of the different notes into it...a hassle.

Perhaps I'm missing your point, but I don't see any value in being able to duplicate a file. Each note file is unique, sui generis. What would you be duplicating? You need to link to passages (assuming that this is related to a biblical passages), and you need to insert appropriate comments and links to other resources. As I said, perhaps I don't understand your point.

George...

One reason is that have this "fill in the blanks" study outline file...sort of a "master file" and what I did was to copy it to another note file then label it "Acts 8:26-39" and then fill in all of the blanks with my observations...

When I want to study another passage, i don't want to reinvent the wheel...I want to use this "master note file" as a road map to keep systematic...sort of like a "master study template"....

Make sense?

Not yet,

However, Bob has indicated that there would be the ability to share user files.

Only marginally. Each passage is different. Even when Chronicles adopts material from elsewhere wholesale the context differs which means that the meaning of the passage differs even if only to a small extent.

George,

I understand what you are saying..but there are some questions to ask of the text that don't change....

And just to clarify...this is for a newbie at bible study...(my sister in law) she has no idea even HOW to study so this outline was actually for her benefit so she could get started....
