Duplicating a single note / Organizing a Topic study

I use clippings for Topic studies. You can incorporate tags and hyperlinks to Notes as necessary. But...

• Your topic should be a Notebook
• You can create an Unanchored note for the Topic details (using New Note)
• accessible from Filters > Anchor
• Add notes as required
• You can have the same passage in different Notebooks
• Create dictionary hyperlinks in the Unanchored note
• Add tags as required

Thank you Dave. I’m going to give Clippings a try, especially since I understand that we reorder the clippings in a more meaningful order once I finish my study (but not Anchors in a Note – thank you for your response to my other Forum post).

1. Usually, I attach my one big Note (containing the big collection of articles, verses, and my comments) that I create for the topic to a keyword in all the verses related to the topic. Is there a way to add the Clippings document similarly? I have been toying around, but I can’t seem to find a way to do it.
2. If we are unable to attach a clippings file to the verse or word in the verse, how do you remind yourself that you have done a detailed study when you read the Bible? Given that God chose not to endow me with memory, this is important, otherwise, in a weeks time I’ll be repeating the same topic study!

No, but you can duplicate a Notebook from the Panel menu (or from a right-click in the Documents menu).

This is a really cool work around to duplicating a Note. I moved the Note I wanted to duplicate into a Notebook. Then I duplicated the Notebook as you suggested. So the Note was now there in both Notebooks. The key is that Logos treats each duplicate Note as effectively independent, so I can make independent changes to the Note in each of the two Notebook. This is cool. Thanks.

I hope MJ does a “L/V 10+ Tip of the Day” based on your response.

Just go to Panel menu > Copy location as and click URL  - that is your hyperlink for the clippings document (but not to a specific clip within).

I sort the Documents menu by typing Clipping in the Find box (or by typing a topic name)

Thanks a lot Dave. I think I now have a fairly reasonable idea of how to take the best of both worlds (Notes and Clippings).

(i)               In the Clippings file, I collect sentences and paras from articles on the topic I’m working on. I could add my own Note and Tag to individual clippings if I so desire.

(ii)             In the Notes file, I collect all the verses related to the topic. At the top of the Note, I put the URL link to the Clippings. I may organize these verse along themes. But the key is that this Note has everything is in one place related to the Topic.

(iii)            I then attach this Note to the keyword in each of the verses to serve as a visual marker that I had done some work on this Topic. This also allows me to maintain verse-specific comments in the verse itself and verse-specific topic-related tags.

I am sure I’ll refine it as my experience with Clippings grow.

Thank you.
