Hello Logos Community,

Today, let's shine a spotlight on a fundamental yet incredibly powerful tool in your Logos toolkit: Highlights. It's more than just marking text; it's about visually organizing your insights and making your Bible truly yours.

Highlights allow you to visually categorize and emphasize passages that resonate with you, reveal a theme, or require deeper study. Whether you're tracking theological concepts, identifying sermon points, or simply marking passages for memorization, a well-designed highlighting strategy brings your study to life.

How Highlights Help Your Study:

  • Visual Organization: Create custom highlighting styles and palettes to color-code different themes, doctrines, or personal applications. This visual system helps you quickly grasp patterns and connections across your text.
  • Multi-Version Consistency: Review your highlights across different Bible versions. What you've marked in one translation can be visible in another, providing a consistent visual reference as you compare texts.
  • Efficient Review: Just like notes, you can sort your highlights by Bible book, making it incredibly simple to review all your marked passages from a specific book or section of Scripture.

Highlights transform your digital Bible into a dynamic, personalized study companion. They help you quickly revisit key passages and reinforce what you're learning.

    Some time ago @Mark Barnes (Logos) referenced looking into Logos integrating highlights with Readwise.io. Any updates on that?

    If Logos did that, my Kindle & Kobo purchases would default to Logos instead. Readwise highlights & review are the best way of revisiting highlights.

    I'm unsophisticated with highlights. What gives me joy is a good variety of roygbiv/vibgyor colours on each page, preferably lots of pretty pastels. Really!

    The only time I use highlights now is in visual filters.

    I basically gave up using highlights in any other way for three reasons

    1. They create a note for each highlight. If I wanted a note with a highlight I would create a note from the notes tool to begin with and add the highlight from the menu inside the note's toolbar.
    2. My use of highlights was only for marking up text temporarily while I was reading through a book, because there is not a convenient way in my opinion to delete them (especially if there is a lot of them) it wasn't worth the hassle.
    3. When I did use a highlight along with its corresponding note, hovering over it doesn't give me a pop up sample of the note like a note symbol/icon does that is next to the anchored text or selection of an actual note does.

    Too soon old. Too late smart.

    Agree, agree, agree. I do highlight but then delete them all. I just hate a book with someone's highlights.
