What is the best way to take the many highlights I have made and change them into notes instead?

Also, is there a way to edit a highlight while looking at them in the "Notes" view?

    highlights are already notes. Do you want to remove the highlight visual and replace them with a note icon? To do so, you will make these changes in the note itself.
    Also, is there a way to edit a highlight while looking at them in the "Notes" view?
    If you mean to change the length of the highlight, I don't believe so.

    You can select the updated range of text in the resource, then delete the anchor on the highlight and then use "Add anchor" to reanchor the highlight to the selected range of text.

    JT:

    1. In Wordsearch I put a bible pane on the left, and a note pane on the right. As I changed verses in the bible, all the notes I had made on that verse appeared on the right (Wish I knew how to send you a screenshot).   When Logos transferred all of my Wordsearch notes, all of the notes I had made on, say, 1 Cor 1:5 were together, just as they were in Wordsearch. I had either copied and pasted from the resource or typed something in myself. They are in a notebook referred to in Logos as "WS Lloyd's Notes". However, none of the 1000+ highlights I have made in Logos are there. This is the problem I wish to solve. I want them all together. The only way I see to do this is to go back to the resources I highlighted and copy and paste each of them, one at a time, into "WS Lloyd's Notes". Quite a large task indeed!

    2. Regarding editing highlights, I want to add a word or two to it, as in editing a document, not change the highlighting itself.

    I applaud your efforts to find the ways that your study in WS can continue in Logos.

    When something is highlighted in Logos (1) the program automatically creates a note.(auto), the Notes panel allows you to make a "note on the highlight note" (optional). If a "note on a note" is made. the content in the notebook will change from grey to black and the custom content will go into the Notebook view.

    1. filter all your highlights in the Notes panel by selecting highlights

    2. click the top one, scroll to bottom, shift-click to select the whole 1000+ highlights

    3. under "Notebook" click the little triangle then assign all the highlights to the "WS Lloyd's Notes" Notebook.

    4. click Apply.

    This will move all your highlights from various Notebooks into the Notebook that was imported from WS.

    David: The highlights moved will not be attached to verses, will they? Or will they be anchored versewise as they were before they were moved?

    Yes to the second question.
