Select notebook when highlighting

I'm using Logos 9 on Android. I do a lot of highlighting in books, but frequently want my notes in different notebooks. Is there a fast way to change notebooks? Lately,  I've been put all of my notes in the same notebook, then when I'm finished highlighting I'll move each note to the appropriate notebook. It's definitely a hassle. 

What I'd like is the option to select the notebook when I'm highlighting the text. When I select text, I see a menu that has highlight on it. When I select highlight I see a screen to select what highlight style I want. That same screen could have a drop down menu to let me select the notebook I want the notes in.

    Paul,

    If you select the More menu (three horizontal lines in the bottom-right of the screen) and choose Settings.  We added an option to set "Notebook for Highlights".  You can change that selection over time to direct new highlights to that Notebook or set it back to "No notebook".

    Does that meet your needs for now?

    I have changed notebooks in the past using the method you've suggested, but it's inconvenient; there are enough steps that I can lose my train of thought. Lately I've been putting all of my notes in a single notebook while I'm studying and sorting them out later. Here's a rather extreme example of using multiple notebooks (Families, Occupations, Timeline)

    Jeremiah 1:3 - It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, unto the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, unto the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month.

    Jehoiakim the son of Josiah - Families
    king of Judah - Occupations
    eleventh year of Zedekiah - Timeline
    son of Josiah - Familes
    king of Judah - Occupations
    in the fifth month - Timeline

    Being able to select the appropriate notebook while I'm highlighting would be useful.
