• I just discovered Canvas and was able to get up to speed quickly. I like the direction it is going, but there are areas it could really use improvement. 1) I used it to phrase a passage, and discovered that it was difficult to move same phrases above the line of text that preceded it. This is sometimes necessary. 2) I did get the hang of disconnecting a word which allowed that freedom, but moving that word was soooo... slow that I often did not think I had actually done anything. That really needs to be addressed. 3) I also that moving anything an aligning it the way I wanted it was very difficult. Slow, but also one line snaps to one place and another snaps somewhere else 4) The tedious process of adding the "highlighting" was much too difficult. 5) really need to allow copy and paste! Text I can add this way from another resource by pasting it into a text box. But other things could be pasted in to a page but apparently cannot. 6) how about integrating the sentence diagramming tool so that the text is easier to manipulate? At least allow the output of this tool to be transferred/pasted into the Canvas. 7) loved being able to save as an image then adding to a note. That will be quite useful! I hope that this tool is not being abandoned as someone else commented. Make it better so that we get real value and can prepare slides quickly

    1. I have experienced a problem twice now with Canvas. I keep losing data when switching between devices. For example, I was working on a particular page of my Canvas at home on my laptop. When I got to my office and opened the same thing on my desktop, it reverted to the last version I had used on that device, which was blank. Everything I did at home was gone. That also happened earlier. This is an issue as I can't find a way to download a previous version (I even browsed my files on the faithlife/logos website and there was nothing there, either). My desktop appears to have overwritten the updates from home and they are gone now. Am I missing something?
      1. Sorry I'm late to the game, but could it have gone to your deleted files? Those are always still on the Logos server.

    2. I hope and pray the snap to grid feature will become more robust and functional in the future so one can create nice Bible charts (MS Excel & Publisher are 10 times easier). It would also be nice if one could insert pictures, add preformatted bible text from Logos (with your preexisting markups) so you wouldn't have to recreate all over again. So, let's continue to pray for continued enhancements because this can become a more wonderful tool!

      1. I really appreciate the Canvas feature. I find it far more useful than AI as it helps me study in a way that is effective for me. That being said, Canvas seems to have stopped being developed aggressively. It is not yet mature. It would be great to be able to drag and drop reorder the pages on a Canvas to the sequence I want logically rather than simply in the order I create them. Also, I think Canvas is at its best on a tablet where I can type or freehand draw. The implementation on iOS requires opening the page in a browser, which I have found functional but buggy (and you also lose a lot of screen real estate!). My biggest request would be making Canvas available in the iOS app. I would pay a pretty hefty memory price for that in terms of the size of the app if that is what it would take. Thanks for this aspect of the program. Keep developing it!
        1. Thanks for the feedback, . I use Canvas quite a bit, too. I enjoy thinking through relationships among texts and concepts visually and spatially. I'd love to see an example Canvas that shows how you use it.

        2. I think I use it a little differently each time. I like to dissect a passage and make links and highlights within that passage and its context and then insert other related passages. Sometimes I draw diagrams to illustrate what I am observing. Really, I like to visually manipulate what I am studying based on what I am observing.

      2. Could you make it so that when a word is highlighted, the highlight gets "locked" to that word? This would be similar to the info cards. If I have several words highlighted and then move the verse or shrink/expand the width of the verse, all of the highlights are no longer on the words and have to be adjusted again. Also, it would be nice to be able to click a word and then click the highlight I want and have it appear on the word. Currently when I click on a highlight option it pops in at the bottom of the page and then I have to drag it to the word I want. This is not very efficient or intuitive.

        1. I've done extensive formatting to my Bible texts. I do all my discourse analysis work in other platforms, because I can't import the color coded text from Logos into Logos. Maybe at least let us Copy/Paste the formatted text. It works fine in some other note taking apps.

          1. I want to change the dictionary used in the info card section. How can I do that?

              I really want to be able to add media to a canvas. But I can't seem to find any way to do that except to draw it. Logos has a lot of excellent media, such as charts and pictures and maps, etc. Let us put this into a canvas.

            2. Hi, I have already marked a bible text in Logos with my personal markup system and now I would like to import this text with my markups into the Canvas tool. Is that possible? Alternatively, is it possible to use your personal markup system in the Canvas tool - I have not found this function. Thank you very much!

              1. Just started using Canvas. I would be helpful if ... 1. We could lock the scree somehow. It's very sensitive. A wrong swipe and the whole screen moves. 2. Like the issue above, it would be helpful to have a lock feature for the "text." Again, it's very sensitive, and I am often moving the text by accident. 3. I am unable to move/reorder the "pages" at the bottom of the screen. They remain in the order in which they were created. It would be extremely helpful to be able to rearrange the so I can cycle through them in the correct order I wan the in. Maybe I'm missing these features?

                1. I would love to be able to re-organize the Canvas Pages I've been working on too. That's basic. It's a Must. "Come on, you can do it Charlie Brown." love
