Versions of the Same Sermon

I am a missionary. While on furlough, I tend to preach one or two sermons at a lot of different churches. But I like to tweak the message for each location.

Is there a way to create a slightly different version of a given sermon without having to create a whole new document? Ideally, I would love to be able to link a slightly different version to each "occasion" of the sermon as listed in the sermon info section of the sermon builder.

I'm wondering if making a generic version of the sermon into a "template" would be a step in the right direction? Any ideas?

Thanks!

Open your "template" or "base text" in the Docs menu, then Duplicate (right-click the sermon title to get the context menu to pop up). It will save a copy and add a number at the end. You can edit the copies as you need.

Thanks David. That's what I'm already doing. But when I do that, it creates an entirely new sermon document, which shows up a bunch of times in my sermon manager. It would be helpful to have one link to a template of the sermon with the various versions of the sermon linked to that template.

Would it serve your purpose to have a "base version" and a "local version(s)"

After you deliver the local version, you can "add an occasion" of to the "base version/template" then delete the "local version"

in result you will have 1 sermon with unlimited occasions, but when you are on home assignment next time you can search on venue and recall what you preached last time you were at that congregation.
