Jim Howard - I posted this note over in the MP Seminars Online group as well, but I'll paste here in case it helps someone else. Good question. Searching notes behaves differently if you search using the Notes panel search options versus an actual Search panel. Try these steps: 1. Open a new search panel 2. Choose a Docs search from the tabs 3. Paste or type exactly this into the search box: * NOT mytag:* ^^The count will be high because it's counting every word, but you'll still get what you're after 4. I *highly* recommend using the option you'll see at the top right to group By Type -- this will show you a Notes drop down you can use, which will display all notes without tags as hyperlinks you can open -- then do tagging as desired. A couple other notes - if you want to review each note, adding tags one-by-one as you review the note -- the method above works really well. However, if you want to have easier access to this list in the future (since you have 2k notes), I would recommend doing one of two things: 1 - maybe the easiest - After running this search and seeing that it gives you what you want... drag the search tab into your shortcuts area. This takes advantage of what we call a "Saved Panel State" (I have a couple videos on this technique on the MPS website). Basically it's a shortcut to run the search again in the future. Of course, if you run the search, then do some tagging, then run it again -- the tagged notes will no longer display so it's like having a dynamic to-do list that removes completed (tagged) items when you run the search again. 2 - more cumbersome - but if you wanted to open each note without a tag and ADD a tag that groups them all together (stay with me here...you'd need to do this one-by-one) but you could create a tag called notag and apply to each of these notes. Why might you do this? If you're annoyed by having to run a search and open notes from hyperlinks, and would rather use the Notes tool to add tags -- this will allow you to open Notes and Filter by the tag notag and do your work there instead of starting from a search panel. Another reason you might want this method is if you anticipate lots of your notes without tags needing to SHARE tags. So let's say for example you researched Angels a ton and you want to mark a bunch of notes with the Angels tag all at once -- you can add tags to multiple notes at once from the notes tool, whereas you can't do this from search results. I'll stop there. And someone may have another creative idea or may know a shorter way to do this--but at least this will get you going!

When you create a workflow, there should be a share option at the top. Easiest way is just to make it public

Kevin S. Coy, OFS and Benjamin V. Rideaux -- thanks for letting us know! I've let our team know and it should now be updated with the correct video. Sorry for the oversight!

Weekly workouts? What are those?

Never mind. Just found them. Had no idea these existed. https://mpseminars.com/course/logos-weekly-workouts-2025/

Afaik they don’t strip things out but I suppose if you’re referring to seminars from, say, 2000-2001, that don’t apply at all to the product today, those may have been removed. But if you are talking about recent stuff, and are missing a title, then email info@mpseminars.com

Sorry for not being clear. I was searching in Books, with a specific collection of books and All text. Then as search term I use e.g. bible:"Genesis 1:1". That does not show the actual verse (the collection does not include a Bible), but any reference to that verse in any of the books in the collection. But any broader references (such as the whole chapter) are also included.

And using the help I now found the answer to my own question. I have to add an equals sign, so "bible:="Genesis 1:1" rather than bible:"Genesis 1:1". Sorry I should have looked at the help examples first.

Thanks for clarifying ... I get it now. Glad you found the =

Hmm. I may be misunderstanding the model, but I thought tags were placed at the external book level while verse, topic, subject, person, etc. links were placed at the internal word, sentence, and or paragraph level. Thus, while a given document might have five or six external tags, it might also have hundreds, or even thousands, of internal links. Thus, for example, if I want to see what my library says about Romans 10:9, the search function returns 1000+ results in a second or two, each of which incorporates the name of a document in my library, and the location(s) within that document where Romans 10:9 is addressed. And, all I have to do is click on an entry in that results list to be taken directly to the location within the referenced document. To accomplish that same result with reader editions, I would suspect the AI would have to read every word in every reader edition in the collection. Ouch!

And, even then, the AI would only be able to identify the locations; not insert internal links to them. So you'd have to pull up a document itself and then go to the referenced location, instead of just clicking on the entry in the results list.

I think I have seen some books with both a reader edition and a research edition, with the latter at a slightly higher price. A couple of thoughts: 1.) the reader edition should be priced competitively with the major ebook sellers, if it is just meant to be read cover to cover. How useful is an Amazon or epub bible? 2.) The reader edition is good for the person who just wants to read it, and has no plans to do anything else with it. I have purchased Amazon or epub because of price difference and because I only intended to read it once. 3.) Logos needs to be more careful of quality in reader editions. I am currently reading "Pagan Christianity" (Barna & ?) and there are a lot of little errors both in the text and in the footnotes: missing spaces, wrong hyphens, broken words. These should be caught by proofreaders. I have started (missed 1st quarter of book) reporting typos, but am starting to wonder if Logos is hoping for free proofreading instead of hiring someone. 4.) With the exception of things like cook books or books that are obviously just for entertainment (romance novels), a lot of the reader editions need to be offered as research editions, and offered to Logos users who bought the reader edition for the difference between the reader and research editions. Such pricing would fit with the dynamic pricing model. I also think this pricing should apply even if the reader edition were made from one edition of a book and the research edition made from a subsequent edition (same author) (I recognize that the 2nd edition of a title in a commentary series may not be the same author and essentially same content)

Personally, I think he should have the Collections —> Tagging in the "Tag Your Books" video. But, hey, I'm not the one making the videos … thankfully.

It definitely would've been more intuitive and easier to find, but I'm grateful for these groups and our ability to help each other.

Sean Buck - sorry for the delay; we tried to post a reply and there was an error over the weekend. Bob Allen thanks for the assist! Sean Buck - great question; Josh used this as a weekly workout this week, but sounds like you've got it. Let us know if you need more assistance!

Jim Dean, that is an astonishing collection! Thanks for sharing.

I use an iPhone 16 Pro and it is very similar to the desktop app. If you split the tile, then add your fav interlinear .. linking the 2 tiles together works well ( busy small screen, but well).

Try the web app. Open a bible and click the interlinear icon.
