Visual Indicator for Sermon Content?
For the past few months, I've been really trying to love the Sermon Manager/Builder. I've played around with it, imported past sermons, created some bible lessons, watched Logos training videos, etc. For some reason, though, I've never been able to get past the "not ready for primetime" feeling that I get whenever I use it. Things about this tool/system just always seem slightly "off."
Case in point: (and I fully admit that this could be user error) There seems to be no way to insert a anchor/visual icon into bible/versified resources that would provide a preview/shortcut to sermon content. I have this capability with notes. But not with sermons. Why are sermons not included in the Visual Filters options?
If Logos is intent about making the Sermon Manager/Builder one of their LPro premiere tools (via AI features), then I hope the entire tool gets some major attention.

This isn't currently possible and I agree it would be very nice if it worked that way.
The best way I know of seeing whether you have a previous sermon on a passage is to put a Sermons guide into a linkset with your Bible. Then it will track with where you are in the Bible and any entries in the Sermon Documents sub-section will be ones you have created in Logos (or copied from some other group)

Thanks, Graham. As I'm currently used to the Notes tool, then I think I will continue to utilize that to store sermon text/anchors as it offers QUICK tagging/anchors and is fully integrated into the visual filters capabilities of Logos.
This is what I meant in my earlier post about the Sermon Manager seeming "not ready for primetime." It's design seems best suited for keeping track of topical sermons in a series, but it is rather clunky and overly complicated for managing sermons that are tied to one main scriptural text. Also, I find that slide shows take me longer to create in Sermon Builder than in PPT because the UI is so bad that editing anything is a true chore.

Voted, but saw that the suggestion is 4 years old. Not holding my breath.
