Mark as read

I'd like Logos to mark commentaries as read IN THE SECTION I AM READING.

suppose I am doing a sermon on Romans 8. I read a few commentaries, and call it a day. When I come back tomorrow, I'd like Logos to show me which commentaries I read. When I open my IPAD, I'd like that to be synched as well, so it show me what I have read. 

I'd like this to expire after some length of time I determine--say, a year. In other words, if I haven't opened this section of the commentary in a year, I'd like it to show it as unread. 

I'd also like to be able to manually mark all commentaries in this section as unread.

    I realize that it is not quite the same thing but you could check history to find out what and where you last read.

    Another option that is related but not exactly what you want, Josh, is to create a custom reading plan using only those sections of the commentaries you plan to read. You can insert the date in the name of the reading plan to later identify when it was read. As you check off each part/section as 'read', you'll then have a record of when you read it that you can turn on and off using the VF dropdown.

    Logos won't know whether you read it for this week's sermon or for 2 wks from now.  I suggest you simply write down the title of whatever you read for a sermon.  You can't expect Logos to hold your hand and pencil and paper still work.

    George, that's an awfully grumpy reply to a suggestion in the Suggestions Forum.

    Zip it!

    Perhaps, but I don't expect Logos to cook my breakfast either.

    I've wanted something similar but seen a saved Passage Guide as the way to achieve it ... rather than using the stars to indicate quality, use them to indicate read/not read. This fails, of course, when you have the same commentary appearing in multiple Commentary sections. It also fails for me because I want Passage Guides by Liturgical date i.e. multiples for the same passage... but it still works reasonably well.
