Mac - Categories

Updated:

Categories and subcategories are tools for organizing your annotations. You can use them to sort your annotations by date, place, type of study, or any other method you choose. Annotations can only be tied to one category.  

You can add annotations (notes, saved passages, and highlights) to categories. We suggest managing your categories in the Notes section of the Study Center. 

Create a Category

You can create a category while editing a note in the Bible text or through the 'My Stuff' section of the Study Center. 

While editing a note, follow these steps:

  • Select the dropdown next to 'Note Category'.

Delete a Category

You can delete a category through the Menu. Please note that if you delete a category that has annotations in it, those annotations will also be deleted. You may need to move the annotations from the category before you can delete the category.  

  • Open the Study Center by clicking the icon in the upper right corner of the app.
