Since I upgraded to Logos 8, everytime I try to copy/paste a verse from a Bible or text from any other resource it automatically puts a reference or citation with the text. Is there a way to disable this? It didn’t happen before I upgraded. 

Thanks in advance for any help provided!

    Under Tools -> Program Settings you can configure wherher footnotes or citations are copied.

    Worth checking how they are set 

    I’m not at my computer at the moment so cant provide screenshots 

    EDIT: apologies I missed this was iPad related

    I can't replicate this on the iPad app.  I just tried copying from a resource (New Testament Theology by I Howard Marshall) and then pasting in Google Docs.  As far as I was aware citations have never been enabled for the web app nor for the ios app.  I sure hope citations are coming some day (but with an option for turning it off).

    I get a Bible reference when copying from a biblical text but no footnote / citation from another type of resource.

    John - are you able to expand on what you are seeing? Ideally with screenshots (use the paperclip icon in the forum editor)

    Graham - sorry for the delayed response. I was having trouble replicating this myself and then I remembered it only happened when I was using the Apple Pencil to select/copy/paste the text (see attached screenshot). If I select/copy/paste the text using my finger rather than the Apple Pencil it doesn’t copy over a citation. Weird...

    Hi John

    Fascinating - and I wanted to try that.

    But copy/pasting that part of that commentary did produce a citation for me whether I used my finger or the Apple Pencil!

    I don’t know how to control whether they are included or not

    I have teh same complain, I only use the webapp, and it does bother. I noticed that sometimes as I copy, a little snipt randomly appear to give me the option to copy citation or not, then it disappear in a second. I tried to get a screenshot and post it here so developers can implement it properly. 

    I also had contacted support by phoe few month ago, and they said no future plan for. So for now we are stuck with citation. I posted a feature request, but no support for it.

    As your issue is with the webapp I suggest creating a new thread in the web app forum - https://community.logos.com/forums/149.aspx 

    EDIT: I see you have posted there but I would still suggest starting a new thread as opposed to commenting on an old thread with the inverse issue being discussed.
