Notes allow you to capture thoughts, sermon insights, study questions, and other observations while reading the Bible or a book. You can create notes linked to a verse/passage or selected text, or create standalone notes that aren't associated with a Bible or book.
Types of Notes
There are two ways to create notes while reading:
- Verse-Based Notes: These notes are linked to a verse and appear across all downloaded Bible translations.
- Word-Based Notes: These notes are linked to selected text and remain associated with the specific Bible or book where they were created.
