Logos 4 missing the 'Note File Summary' functionality in Logos 3

Logos 4 seems to be missing the great 'Note File Summary' functionality that Logos 3 had.  I used that functionality quite extensively to group related scripture verses, comments, resource text, etc. under various topics (Healing, Protection, Authority, Love, Prayer, Prosperity, etc).  Is that functionality expected to be brought back shortly?

    The Notes are incomplete but the list of missing functions is not sufficiently detailed to answer this. But I hope it does.

    Is there a way yet in Logos 4 to view all of a Note File's "scriptures" as the Note File Summary was in Logos 3?  It seems that we can view all of the scripture verse headers (i.e. Genesis 1:1, Mark 15:1, Hebrews 8:3, etc.) and our personal comments when viewing Note Files, but not the scripture text itself (i.e. "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son...") except by hovering the mouse pointer over those verse headers or clicking on the verse headers to jump to the linked text in the full Bible.

    Have you tried the Save as Passage List option? Does it meet your needs? (It doesn't quite meet mine but that's another thread.)

    Thanks for your response.  I just tried the "Save as Passage List option" and it's certainly much better than nothing. Unfortunately, the resulting window only displays the scripture verse text without the Note File "comments".  I would like to see them both.  I think that the best idea is to add a new option to the Note Files for displaying both scripture verse text and comments. Currently there are 2 options in the Note File window: "Full" and "Compact" links.... a third option like "Full with Scriptures" would be nice.  Better yet, simply add 2 new checkboxes (instead of "Full" and "Compact" links) for users to check/uncheck: "Show Scriptures" and "Show Comments".

    Is there any ETA on being able to see the full Note File Summary info as in L3?  I want to be able to view "both" the Scriptures and Comments (or either) in the Note window, not just the Comments. In addition, I want to be able to export all (both scriptures and comments or just scriptures) to a "nicely formatted" text file that displays nice in my Kindle. The current text file export does not show passage breaks nicely.

    I'm not at all that it has even been promised. Even if it has been there no ETA beyond the missing features page.
