Highlighting box option: Add an option to put a box around a section of text
Add the ability to put a box around a section of text. This would be especially useful if one could also underline key words within the box.
Example: I would like to put a box around the parable of the Good Samaritan but then just underline the one key word Samaritan.30 votesJust not possible with the need to merge annotations across platforms using existing annotation server capabilities.

Live Tile Idea
It would be cool to have the apps main tile flip through the inspirational messages shown on the apps home screen.
25 votesBecause we were asked to discontinue the Inspirational Messages feature, this is no longer a possibility.

Add ability to see Patriarchal Blessings
On lds.org, I now have the ability to see my Patriarchal Blessing.
It would be really nice to be able to see that image in GL. Also, I understand I can request blessings for my ancestors. It would be great to be able to access those too.24 votes -
Add ability to add custom content.
I have various church-related books in various formats, including things like Mormon Doctrine, etc.
While I know they are not officially church doctrine, I would still like to be able to easily access them via the app.14 votesNot possible without backend changes.

Add a unique scripture viewing mode for deeper spiritual understanding
An amazing feature that should seriously be considered is a single scripture viewing mode, where the user is able to see one verse appear at a time, rephrase the verse in their own words, have their input saved, and the verse swiped upwards and a new verse appear. Once the chapter is completed, the user's verse summaries are compiled and accessible anytime the user would like to refresh their memory on what they understood occurred within a completed chapter. This may encourage scripture reading, changing it from a daunting task to a rather fun and insightful experience.

place Seminary and Institute back under one heading. with the last change I have to go to three different places to get all that I need.
place all the seminary and Institute topics/manuals, training resources, devotionals etc... all under one topic instead of making us guess which place you put it. Today they were moved so that I had to go to three different places to get what I needed. that is terribly annoying.

Leave all students institute and seminary manuals in the gospel library including old versions unless there is updated replacement..
I noticed that the D&C student manual was removed from the gospel library. I am a Seminary teacher and I often refer to the student institute manuals because they are a great resource for quotes and further insights that are not included in the teacher's versions of the institute or seminary manuals.

have collections be able to store specific talks or book chapters for quick reference.
Currently, collections can only include entire books. I think it would be great to be able to add specific talks, book chapters and even import .PDFs (example: talks from BYU Speeches) so a collection so I can find them quickly.

Making Line Connections
On my physical scriptures I like to make lines between verses in order to connect ideas. Is it possible to duplicate this function in the app?
8 votesIn the application we try to accomplish the same goal by linking scriptures rather than drawing a line. This allows us to go across all content and not be limited to the same page. You can link items by highlighting the text and making a link or using the new notes screen.

gospel art
I would love to be able to link pictures like from the gospel art kit (as well as others) to specific stories in the scriptures.

We were specifically asked to remove the Inspirational Messages feature and so, with version 4.0.0.0, it has been removed completely from the app and will not be returning.

delete all bookmarks with one click
either by putting a check mark in just several old bookmarks, or with one click to delete all bookmarks. this is just like emails, you can select one or two emails to be deleted or one click and delete all your emails. i had so many bookmarks, so it took so long.... way too long to delete every bookmark i had.
6 votesWe won’t be adding any mass-deletion features into the app. If you find yourself with a large number of bookmarks, you should probably be using the tags feature instead for many of them.

Share and sync Tags or Notebooks with other users
It would be really great to be able to share a Tag or Notebook like one shares a Google Doc -- where edits/additions can be seen by other users, so users could collaboratively study a topic and share their insights together. This would be really helpful in the context of the new "Come, Follow Me" curriculum, which encourages studying with family members and others.
(I realize this would require changes to more than just the Windows app, so if there's a better place to request this feature, just let me know. 🙂)
6 votesAs noted in the suggestion, this requires major backend changes in order to even be possible. As we’re volunteers who work in Gospel Library for Windows in our spare time, we have no power to change the backend to accommodate something like this. It’s highly unlikely that such a feature would be implemented because of the major changes required. Your best bet would be to send feedback through the iOS or Android version of the app.

I would like to be able to do something like a hashtag
I find that it would be great to enable some sort of tag, that enables me to later search scriptures or stories that I personally have marked with certain themes or topics and maybe even being able to specify said tag. For example, I could make a tag like pride and being to search everything under that topic, or be able to search inside that tag the examples I have read, warnings, definitions, etc. Oftentimes I can do some sort of search like in the index, but they will many times not have everything that I have found, such as…
5 votesA feature request identical to this one (“support for Tags”) already exists. Please donate your votes to that request.

At Church our internet almost never works. Allow bookmarks and personalized data to be stored locally so it works without internet.
The Windows 10 Gospel Library App works very poorly when there is no internet connection, which is usually the case at Church. Bookmarks and personalized comments should be stored locally so that the app works well without internet connectivity. When connectivity is restored, updated can then propagate to the server and other devices with the same login.
5 votesThese features already function without a connection and upload updated annotations when they are reconnected. If you are having issues with this, you’re running into a bug and you’ll need to contact user support.
