Sharing Notebooks to Collaborate in Logos Bible Software

Now that I keep telling people to get Logos Bible Software, I now have a few friends who use it. I've been wondering if there was a way to share specific notes with coleaders or friends so that I could stop using a Google Document of the text and scrolling through comments on the side.

Good news! Collaborating on a notebook is easy, and once you set it up, it updates in real time, with all members being able to add and change notes simultaneously. 

I plan on using notebook collaborations to study the Bible with friends, to prepare with my Small Group Co-leader, and to ask and answer questions. It's like having a discussion about the text without being in the same room.

If you are wanting to share a notebook, you'll first need to create a group in Faithlife. Use your Logos login credentials, and then follow the instructions here. 

Note: I would recommend creating subgroups if you might have more than one group you plan on collaborating with. I have subgroups with different friends so that I can just share each notebook with exactly who I need to.

TO SHARE A NOTEBOOK: If you are already in a group or subgroup or have created one, sharing a notebook is easy. 

1. Open up Logos
2. Click on the folder you want to share
3. Click the three vertical dots on the right side of the notebook name. 
4. Click "Share" 
5. Click "Group" 
6. Select the group or subgroup from the drop down menu. 

TO CONNECT TO A NOTEBOOK: Check your email. 

1. From the email you received, accept the invitation to join the group. 
2. Go to the group or subgroup in Faithlife. 
3. On the left side, scroll down and click "Bible Study"
4. Click "Logos Documents"
5. On the correct folder, click the "Actions" dropdown
6. "Connect"

You may have to restart your program, but you should now have access to the shared Notebook.
