Printing notes with anchors
When I print my notes or export them to a file, I only get the content of my notes (what I typed), but not the corresponding anchors. That's quite useless. Does anybody have this problem, or know how to fix it?

I would venture to guess that everyone who has attempted to print a note has the same experience. This is the way the Print/Export feature in Notes Tool is currently designed; anchors do not print. There is no setting or work around I am aware of. I don't know if there are any plans to change this at some point in the future.

The list of coming improvements does not mention exporting anchors with Notes:
- Sorting notes by reference
- CTRL+F on desktop to find in Notes
- Integration of notebooks in Your Documents search section in Everything search
- Integration of notebooks in My Content section of guides
- Copy and paste from resources with citation links
- Highlight search extension searches
- Labels
- Create and find notebooks in the Docs panel
- Quotes view (currently supported for single resources in Notes & Highlights resource sidebar)
- Full view
- Compact (i.e., one line) view (which will enable a comparable Split view)
- Corresponding Notes & Highlights visual filter
- Send to sermon document
- Export to / save as word list / passage list
- Previous/Next Annotation in the Locator Bar
- Remember your icon, color, and style preferences
- Guide notes
- Search hit highlighting
But neither does the list of deprecated features, so we might be OK in the long run. I agree that, without the exported anchor for each Note, the Notes are practically useless, and exporting them without anchor references would require much effort to include them in teaching notes. Oh please, Faithlife, move "export" up in the list of priorities.

On the current FAQ for notes, item 13 of "Shipped Items" reads:
Include Anchors (references and resource text) in Print/Export
This sounds like it should be possible to include anchor references in exported notes - any ideas if this is possible and if so, how to do it?

Try it, you'll like it.
Select some notes and press [Ctrl+P] to export them to MSWord. You will see anchor references by each Note.

Hi, I've tried it but can't get that to happen. I do only have the Logos software - no base package (except Logos 7 Basic Feature Set.) Could this be the problem?
Logos Bible Software 8.4 SR-1
8.4.0.0047Notes are selected as follows:
Then when I bring up print I get this preview, which is what I get if I send to Word or clipboard. No anchor references:

Thanks, but tried this and it doesn't work for me - still no anchor references. Logos Bible Software 8.4 SR-1 8.4.0.0047 but no base package (just Logos 7 Basic Feature Set). Could this be the problem?
I select notes as follows:
Then print dialog shows this preview, which is what appears in Word / clipboard:

I select notes (by clicking and holding) in notes pane, then click Print/Export (or Ctrl-P) and I get a print preview with the notes but no anchor references at all. This is what I get in Word if I take that option (same for clipboard).
Is there a setting anywhere to enable insertion of references?Stephen

User the paperclip icon in the editor rather than pasting directly.

To reassure you that what you want to do can be done, here is a screen grab of an exported note:
Both anchors on this note are marked. One anchor is in the Bible and one in the Talmud.
Notes can be created by reference (as above) or by selection (just a bit of highlighted text, without an anchor, (as shown below.)
Which output does yours resemble?

Thanks all for your time. I have created these notes by highlighting in the commentary text (sometimes 'add note', sometimes 'add highlight'). Here you can see I have filtered by bible book, and would like to export with references so I know where all the quotes came from. As you can see, when I hit "print/Export" there is no trace of references. Screenshots attached this time!
time.

Yes, I have the same problem. It's a big issue, I think. I hope others will agree with me to ask for this feature. When speaking of Scripture, the anchor text is the WHOLE POINT, not our comments about it.

Back in the day, exported notes had the text also. Then about version four, it stopped, and from then on, the stated policy was not to print the scripture text. My guess is that copyright issues were responsible.
Faithlife will chime in if the policy is different.

Just bumping this thread ...
I still can't work out how to export text that I highlight in a resource along with the reference (even to which work it comes from, let alone a more precise reference).
The use case is to have a list of useful quotes from across a range of resources, but to access these within another programme
I am creating the notes simply by highlighting commentaries etc. as I read. I note that the highlighted text is actually part of the anchor. Thus I guess what I want carried over to the export is the "anchor title"?
If there's a different way to create the notes I would be happy to do that (although it's so simple to just highlight as I do now and use filters etc. in Notes to organise later).
P.S. I need to export because I use OneNote for organising sermon notes - guess I maybe "should" use Logos for everything, but I like the tabs in OneNote and also it allows me to scribble on Bible text with a stylus - don't think anything like that is possible in Logos.

I'd also like to be able to export the anchor Scripture reference with all of my notes.
Is there any update on this feature or when it may be worked on?

I suspect that the most likely answer is: Never, because of copyright issues.
(I would also like this feature. [sigh])

It is interesting to me that they can’t include the reference for copyright reasons, but they can include the full text? I don’t understand much about copyrights!

It is also quite possible that I'm completely off base. [smile]
