Additional details: Sometimes books/resources are purchased for a specific study. It would be nice to be able to create and assign a notebook from within the notes tab in the resource so every highlight and note would automatically go to the assigned notebook instead of having to organize it as the resource is being read

Welcome to the Forums Lenora! I have to be honest and admit that I rarely have used the Logos Notes tool for my note taking, but I have used it at times. Maybe, someone who always uses the tools will have more insight - but I'm trying to understand what your looking for…

I have never organized my notes and in the Notes tools I can view by each book/resource under the Filter option. Is that not sufficient for your goal?

All notes made in the same resource (in this case a particular book) are combined under the same category, under that book name. So, while Logos app didn't technically open another Notebook, you can easily sort them via Filter on the left. You find "Book" section, find the book you are reading, and you will find all the notes there.

Other option is to Create a new Notebook, and "move/assign" all your Book specific notes into it. It will stay as your default notebook until you change to another one.

Here you can see that I've selected a text in Dominion and Dynasty, made a very short note, and under filter chose that specific book I will find all notes regarding the book.

If you open a notes panel, you can select a notebook. New notes will be opened in this notebook. Also any highlights or notes you create wil automatically go to this notebook.

Better visual coordination between iPad and desktop versions
I spend a lot of time in the iPad app. When I switch to the desktop app, most of my highlights and markups are essentially unreadable. There needs to be a unified aesthetic between the two. If necessary to explain what I'm talking about, tomorrow I can create comparative screenshots to illustrate just how bad it is. Thanks!
Export Highlight / Note with Citation / Reference
When exporting multiple highlights / notes (if individual, I could just copy from the book) from the Notes Tool, I would like for the export to include the reference or citation (even better if this was just an "option" that way if people don't actually want it that way they can toggle it on / off). I noticed this on the…
New Feature: iOS Widgets
Seeing what other apps have done, there are so many more cool possibilities. Tools – Widgets would allow you to open up a specific tool directly with one touch, rather than the 3-5 it currently takes. And to be able to customize which 4-8 are always on top would be nice. Also, see the Google search widget for how you can…
Book notes - Desktop App
I use Logos Notes a lot and they are great but what I'd like to do is to be able to make notes on a book, perhaps a comment field on the book info page. For example: review notes, impressions, strengths/weaknesses, differences between editions etc. I already use Tags but they don't provide this sort of freeform text.
It should be far easier to sort notes by reference
I have a lot of notes which I am trying to import, and as I am doing so, I am finding it frustrating that the normal sorting options are all impractical. I am specifically frustrated that "Reference" is grayed out, as it is the only option I use and need. While I understand that I can go through a multi-step filtering…
