Archive/Hide Notebooks

@Dave Hooton

You can delete a Notebook and it will be 'archived' in Trash (pending permanent deletion or recovery).

That's cool, I didn't know that there was a "Trash". Thank you!

The sidebar allows you to do this in the Notes tool. What did you have in mind?

That only effects the list of notebooks you can see in the notes tool. It doesn't turn those notebooks on/off in your Bible/Books. I want to be able to quickly make all the highlights and notes inside a notebook not visible in my Bible/Books (especially on mobile).

To archive I put ZZ in front of the notebook name.

That only causes it to go to the bottom of the list, right?

You can deselect a notebook from showing anchors on desktop resources. (I don't think you can specify notebooks not to appear on mobile or web)

Yes, but it would be better if you could show/hide the entire notebook from mobile/web/desktop. I don't mean show/hide from the filtered list of notes, I mean show/hide the notes/highlights in your books/bible from the notebook level instead of from the visual filter menu.

Do you have a specific reason for archiving as distinct from deleting notebooks?

Here are a few:

• You want to re-read a Bible/Book with a "clean" view without highlights or notes. On Mobile this is almost impossible. This can only be accomplished by deleting and undeleting the notebook (which I just learned about above).
• I have the 1689 LBCF and the Westminster CF public notebooks in my documents. I love these resources and want them displayed. But…. Sometimes they are very distracting when reading/studying (espicially on mobile). I don't want to lose or delete them, but I often wish I could just turn them off so they wouldn't show up anymore.
• I used to have the ESV changes public notebook but I found it so distracting when trying to read/study that I ended up deleting it. It would have been much better to be able to just turn it off so it wouldn't display but I could still access it if I wanted to do a 'study'.
• You have inappropriate or distracting notes you don't want displayed on a monitor/projector while teaching from an ipad (or even in desktop).
• If you often use many different bible texts, then you have to turn on/off the notebook for each bible text or book in the visual filters menu.
• You might want to archive a notebook if your views change but you don't necessarily want to delete those notes if you want to look at them later.
• Its cumbersome to have to go into each book/bible to turn off/on each notebook instead of being able to do it system wide.
