Create clippings file from notes?
Is there a way to select multiple notes and then export them into a clippings document? I see how I can send them to a sermon, but haven't figured out how to do this.

Not as a Clipping. You can select the text in a Note, but it will only Copy.
If you paste into an existing clipping (not its Notes) you can Edit all the headings/titles except the link to the source book. But where do you put the Anchors?
Did you expect one Note per clipping (in the same Clippings document)?

Thanks for the sanity check, Dave. That's kind of what I thought, but figured I'd ask.
What'd I like to have is the ability to select some subset of my notes (say, based upon having filtered them down on whatever criteria) and then pushing all of those notes (and anchors) into a single clipping.
The way I typically am studying, most of my "notes" are actually just the copied & pasted text of my highlight so that it is searchable within the notes interface. I use thematic (and other) tags on that content, and was thinking how nice it would be to be able to push some of those into a clippings document without having to do so one by one.
Maybe that too fringe a use case compared to what others are doing.

Searching within a clippings doc is basic (woeful) as the result only links to a clipping and you have to find its location from the context that is provided!
However, a standard Search can locate your highlights within resources (from the style name) and can find words/phrases within those highlights. See https://wiki.logos.com/Finding_Highlighted_Text
Personal Books are much better for storage and locating, but it will take a lot of effort.

It is quite a bit more work, but I've gotten in the habit now of copying and pasting with each highlight as part of my workflow. The payoff on the back end is I can search them with the enhanced power of being able to whittle down my results with tags (or other criteria) I have assigned to them.

That is a good compromise as the Notes tool has a reasonable search function

I've faced similar situations and decisions. I also apply topical/thematic tags and my tags also start with the same word for a given topic/theme. So I used to think that I can easily isolate all my Notes that belong to a topic. But perusing Notes that belong a topic became a headache, so I created a Notebook for each Topic that I studied. See if it helps you.

Thanks very much for your suggestions and insights. It's always valuable to see who has already invented the wheel I want to use before I try to reinvent it myself!
