Mac 6.14.8 - Saved Passages

Updated:

Please note that this article is for version 6.14.8 of the Mac app. If you are running MacOS 13 or later, be sure to install the latest update from the Mac App Store and refer to the current Mac Help Articles here.

Saved passages are a useful tool as you study the Bible and come across a verse or phrase you want to save for future reference. Adding a saved passage allows you to save a verse without adding additional marking to the text like you would with a note or highlight. 

Verse or Text Based

There are two ways to create Saved Passages within our app: by selecting a word or phrase (word based) or by tapping on a verse number (verse based). Saved Passages are always associated with the Bible translation they were added in regardless of the method used to create them.

Create a Saved Passage

You can create a saved passage when you're viewing text in your app. Here are the steps to create a saved passage:

  • Click a verse number or select text and secondary click. If you aren't sure how to secondary click, please note that you can alternatively hold the 'control' button and click on the selected text.

Edit or Delete a Saved Passage

Once you have created a saved passage, it can be located in the Study Center's My Stuff tab. To edit a saved passage:

  • Open the Study Center by selecting the icon in the top right of the app.
