Sentence Diagram Files
I am thrilled with the new sentence diagram tool in Logos 4. Can I transfer my sentence diagram files from Logos 3 to Logos 4? If so, how? Will these be backed up on the server?

Tom,
Type Import Sentence Diagrams in your Logos 4 Command Bar and hit Enter.
BTW: I understand you posting this under Files, but you will get more eyes if you post under the Logos 4 forum for questions like this.
Let us know if you have trouble.

Thanks, Mark.
I'm a long time sentence diagram user. Now I have all my sentence diagram files imported. But how do I now do simple thinks like "undo" "select all" or how do I delete a file? Also is there a way to organize my files into folders because I may have over 20 files of Hebrews diagrams or Ephesians diagrams. Thanks for your patience with what may be very basic quesions.

Try this:
- Undo: Ctrl-Z
- Select All: Ctrl-A
- Delete a File: Open the File menu. Scroll to the file you wish to delete. Right click on it, and choose Delete
Also is there a way to organize my files into folders because I may have over 20 files of Hebrews diagrams or Ephesians diagrams.
File management is not Logos 4's strong suit. The best approach I know is the one taught by Morris Proctor at the Camp Logos seminars - use the Favorites tool to manage your files. You can create an unlimited number of folders and nested folders. When you've created a diagram (or any other document) you'd like to keep track of, just drag its tab onto the appropriate folder in Favorites. What's nice is that you can place the same document in multiple folders, if it fits your organizational scheme. Also, you can add just about anything in Logos - or even outside of Logos - to the favorites. Include web pages that are helpful to you. Link to scans of passages that you diagrammed by hand and don't wish to redo in Logos. The sky's the limit - in some ways organizing your documents using Favorites is actually superior to having decent file management baked in. [;)]
I'm including a screen-cap of my own growing Favorites system. You can see I've got top-level groupings for Books (notes on a particular Logos resource); Follow-up (to keep track of what I'm currently reading, and would like to read someday); sermon prep work for the Lectionary readings each week; sermon prep work for Occasional Services (funerals, weddings, etc.); Records (note files recording each time I read through the Bible, etc.); and Topics (a catch-all alphabetical file).
I never used to create and manage content in Logos, but I'm finding it's extremely convenient to have my searches and Guides point me to work I've already done.
Organizational systems are very individual, and my approach may not be the best fit for you. But if you've got more than just a few documents within Logos, it's the best way I know to keep track of them right now.
(But Logos, could we please have an easy way to get at all our user-generated content outside of Logos? It would be nice to have an option that would export absolutely everything I've created all at once, so that - in the event that anyone cared - all my work won't necessarily vanish when I'm no longer on this earth and using Logos!)
