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.
Don't apologize! That was super helpful. I did do some testing and I can't find any way to do the same thing in mobile. Also, I turned off a notebook on desktop using your method and that does not carry over to mobile.
I think seeing notes/highlights in the mobile app is all or nothing.
That’s my understanding as well. That is what I would like changed.
Thanks. That's my experience too. The notes tool isn't as developed in the mobile app as it is in the desktop app. And I assume the notes tool in the desktop app is still older, platform-dependent code, so features can't be ported to the mobile app quickly.

Title: Request for a More Robust Notes Tool in Logos I’m very grateful for Logos Bible Software and use it daily for study and ministry. However, I’d like to advocate for a significant upgrade to the Notes tool so it can function as a true all-in-one research and knowledge hub. Right now, the Notes feature feels limited…
Since you added the badge for your subscription of what level of subscription you have. I think it may be a great addition if you have badges for how many books you have in your library for example 100 books library badge, 1,000 books library badge to give a couple of examples and also if you can have the value of your…
