What are Saved Passages?
Saved Passages let you quickly bookmark a verse or passage you want to return to later — without adding any visual markings like notes or highlights. They're a simple, clean way to keep track of meaningful Scripture as you study.
Verse-Based vs. Word-Based Saved Passages
There are two ways to create a saved passage in the app:
- Word-Based: Select a specific word or phrase to save.
- Verse-Based: Select a verse number to save the entire verse.
Note: Saved passages are always tied to the Bible translation in which they were created. Unlike notes and highlights, they do not appear across multiple translations.
Create a Saved Passage
You can create a saved passage when you're viewing text in your app. As mentioned above, saved passages can be tied either to a verse or a word or phrase. Here are the steps to create a saved passage:
- Tap a verse number or select text and then select 'Save' in the pop-up menu.
- In the Save Passage popup that appears, you can tap 'Tags' or 'Change Category' to assign any desired tags or categories to the saved passage. You can also tap in the text field to give the saved passage a different title than the text that is pre-populated. When you're finished, tap 'Done' to create the saved passage.
Edit a Saved Passage
Once you have created a saved passage, you can find it in the Menu under Saved Passages.
- Tap the Menu icon in the upper right corner.
- Tap 'Saved Passages'.
- Locate the individual saved passage you want to edit and tap the 'i' icon next to it.
Here you can change the title ('label'), assign the saved passage to a category, and add or edit the tags. There are two different ways to make these changes.
Option 1:
The first option is to open the Settings for the Saved Passage. Tap the Settings icon in the upper right corner.

Option 2:
The second option is to select the field you wish to edit.
- Tap in the top box to delete and re-enter the title.
- Tap the category to assign the saved passage to a category.
