While we cannot speak for others, the lack of an export feature has been a major barrier to our adoption of the Gospel Library application as the main tool for our gospel study, especially of the scriptures.

Many consider their collection of personal notes a treasure of gospel study discoveries and personal insights. The ability to independently export or download, backup, print, read, edit, and use their own personal cross-referenced library of notes, as an independent document, would be an incredible addition to the Gospel Library application on all platforms.

Such features addressing versatility and security, common to so many other applications, would allow all loyal Gospel Library users to become fully invested in using a secure suite of applications.

Hello,

2 Suggestions for a future update to windows version regarding the copy and paste options with references:

1. I would love to have your team consider adding an alternative view to references when copying. You could add it under the settings section—under behavior, then under ‘Default Copy Behavior Settings’—add a new field that allows the copied reference to appear at the top of the pasted area rather than always at the bottom. Here is an example:

31 And of tenets thou shalt not talk, but thou shalt declare repentance and faith on the Savior, and remission of sins by baptism, and by fire, yea, even the Holy Ghost.

Doctrine and Covenants 19:31

VS.

1. Another ‘copying the reference’ method that would be useful involves a shortened reference to be copied. You could add it under the settings section—under behavior, then under ‘Default Copy Behavior Settings’—add a new field that allows for a Shortened reference to appear. Here is an example:

31 And of tenets thou shalt not talk, but thou shalt declare repentance and faith on the Savior, and remission of sins by baptism, and by fire, yea, even the Holy Ghost.

Doctrine and Covenants 19:31

OR

Doctrine and Covenants 19:31

31 And of tenets thou shalt not talk, but thou shalt declare repentance and faith on the Savior, and remission of sins by baptism, and by fire, yea, even the Holy Ghost.

Application: Why do I feel this would be useful for me and many others? When I prepare for a talk or lesson, a lot of the times I create my own word document and use the copy and paste feature from the Gospel library app. Changing the settings for how the reference is to be viewed would be very helpful, not only for preference and styles, but also to save me a lot of time reformatting my talk/lesson on my own word document. It allows users to customize their studies to their own personal liking plus save time in the process.

I hope you will consider adding these 2 features to a future update.

I started using Gospel Library years ago, when tags all defaulted to lower case, and you couldn't have a comma in a tag name. Those features have evolved, and I now have a bunch of duplicate tags, like "agency" and "Agency" or "Jesus Christ; Creator"/"Jesus Christ, Creator." I also have some tags that I gave a different name and realized they were the same, like "Welding Link" and "Sealing Chain."

As far as I can tell, there is no way to select two tags and merge them. I would love to have this feature so that I can clean up some of my tags.
