Mac - Categories

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 notes, saved passages, and highlights to categories. We suggest managing your categories in the Notes section of the Menu. 

Create a Category

You can create a category while editing a note in the Bible text or through the sidebar. 

While editing a note in the Bible text, follow these steps:

  • Select the Options icon in the upper right corner and select 'Change Category'.
