Add improved visualizations for notes (inline, wide margin, etc)

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I'd love to see additional visualization options for anchored notes and potentially anything else that has a Bible reference association. Wide margin is one possibility. You could potentially achieve this by adding a "Notes" section to the Insights panel. It would be great if the Insights panel could be configured similar to custom guides (turning things on / off), and it should save as state for any custom layout as well. This would allow a strict personal notes view as a wide margin, for example.

I'd also love to see an "inline notes" feature. Here's an example of that in the NIV+ bible app:

It would be great if I could actually select a set of resources / notes I wanted inline like this!

Actually, Insights panel, while nice, wouldn't be quite the same as wide margin since you couldn't read ahead - it should probably be its own panel or something.

Hi @Sean T,

Thank you for the idea. A wide margin Bible style of notes is for sure needed. It is also pretty basic, not only being in Accordance, but I think most free Bible softwares allow notes to run in parallel. That said, I am concerned about it being connected to "insights" as I thought that is not part of the basic program (I don't think it is even on my v.10, if I am not mistaken). So in short, I would see notes running in parallel with the text under the category of "basic functionality."

Yeah I realized after the fact that Insights panel probably wouldn't work quite right, anyway, because it doesn't scroll along, and you can't read ahead. I would still like the option to show my notes in the Insights Panel additionally, however.

Bible Project Graphic Overviews
Last year during a training session, I noticed @Mark Barnes (Logos) had Bible Project graphics on his demonstration screen. I believe he mentioned they were in a german version of Logos (could be wrong there) but regardless they were present in his ecosystem but are NOT for english/american customers. I made a suggestion…
Allow users to type in the sermon builder on the IOS Mobile app.
Perhaps there is a way to do this, but I have looked and not been able to find it. I would love to be able to actually work on my sermons from my IOS phone. I can see what I have typed on my computer, but that is it, I cannot type new things. I would love this feature. If I could leave my PC and take up my composition on…
Sort Smart Bible Searches
It would be nice to be able to sort smart Bible searches. I like that I can save them as a passage list and then sort them, but one less step would be ideal. I came across a theme in Ezekiel 20 of God's name and I wanted to see how many times this idea is in Ezekiel. Smart Bible search was perfect for this!
Allow us to override Logos bias by attaching n - using the creation stories of Genesis as an example
Because of its reference to image, I prefer to use the Genesis 1 reference for the creation of mankind rather than Genesis 2. This is especially important to me in the current political environment as Genesis 1 has an androgynous Adam rather than a male Adam. However, Logos not only makes Genesis 2 the primary text, it…
Bible Study Builder more text options
Can we get more text options in Bible Study Builder, similar to Sermon builder. Bullets and Numbers, change of text color. Can we also get the Blockquote and illustration function.
