Allow us to archive a notebook instead of only giving the option to delete it. It would also be great if we could show or hide the notes/highlights from an entire notebook instead of having to do it in the visual filter menu on a per book basis.
You can delete a Notebook and it will be 'archived' in Trash (pending permanent deletion or recovery).

The sidebar allows you to do this in the Notes tool. What did you have in mind?
To archive I put ZZ in front of the notebook name.
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)
Do you have a specific reason for archiving as distinct from deleting notebooks?
@Dave Hooton
Trash
That's cool, I didn't know that there was a "Trash". Thank you!
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).
@Alan saunders
That only causes it to go to the bottom of the list, right?
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.
Here are a few:
I'm intrigued. Inappropriate notes in your Bible...? What, like, 'Charlie's an idiot and needs to read what Proverbs says about fools'??
😉
I have a note about lust, adultery, and masturbation that I wouldn’t want popping up when I was teaching Sunday school or something (I don’t teach Sunday school, but if I did….).
@Chuck Kelley 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).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).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.

The current system wide method would be to delete/archive the Notebook and then undelete after teaching or personal use (the 'delete' has low overhead as it merely sets/unsets a flag against the Notebook in the database).
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.
I almost forgot the 'old' resource toolbar as the new toolbar displays Notes directly (for subscription users), but it doesn't affect matters.
OK, yes, I SEE, @Chuck Kelley
You can fairly easily control whether a notebook is visible in the Bible itself.Go to the Notes tab of any Bible → click Show notes and highlights → find the notebook you don’t want to display → right‑click on it (or click the three dots) → choose Do not show in any books.
That works well, but it might not be a bad idea if the Notes tool itself allowed you to assign such properties directly to a notebook.
WHAT??? I didn't know you can do that?!?!? How do I do that in Mobile?
Excuse me for not realizing you were talking about the mobile app and not the desktop app. I'm just a user myself, trying to give a response.
Not sure if there's already a way to do this or not. If there isn't, I'd love to see a toggle where I can disable swipe to highlight on the Logos Mobile App. I keep accidentally highlighting text when I read and swipe around. :-)
I am reading a lot on kindle these days. I live in Asia and access to good resources is not good. So when I finally had a friend from America bring me a kindle it was a lifesaver. The more I have been reading the more I have seen typos in books. No big deal. Kindle makes it extremely simple to highlight and report a type…
It would be great if they provided an UNDO - REDO button in Notes. There have been times, I've accidentally deleted a note and had no way of getting it back.
“Send hyperlinks here” is very useful, but unfortunately it doesn’t work with books. Even if I open a second copy of a book and set it to “Send hyperlinks here,” the links still open in the current panel. Clicking on entries in the table of contents or index always redirects within the same window, which makes searching…
