!! Saving a Guide

* *Logos 7 and earlier*

 You can add text to a guide within the Title box, Description box, and Notes boxes. You can use the *Add* menu to include additional sections,  reposition sections via drag and drop, or delete sections via the *X* in their header.

 Whenever you do that Logos will /save/ the guide for future use, with the exact word or scripture reference that you entered. So if you were to type in the Title box, or make Notes then Logos will save the guide.

 When you enter a new word or scripture, though, the guide will revert to its /template/ settings; the changes are temporary and you can only make them permanent by [[Customizing >> # Customizing a Guide ]] the guide.

 Saved guides can be found in the *Guides* menu on the right hand side. Just click on one to open it. *Note* that this doesn't happen with *Logos 4*, so it is advised that you drag your guide into a *Favorites* folder before closing the guide. Then it can be opened from Favorites in the future.

 Saved guides can be found in the *Guides* menu on the right hand side. Just click on one to open it.

 

* *Logos 8 and later*

 You can use the Add menu to include additional sections, reposition sections via drag and drop, or delete sections via the X in their header.

 These settings are saved for /subsequent use/ of the guide. Guide instances with specific settings are *not* saved. If you want to revert to the standard guide settings, right click and select *Reset to default*.

!! Customizing a Guide

 If you often don't use certain sections, or you aren't satisfied with the default *Settings* in a section, then you should consider creating a /Custom Guide/. Conversely, if you frequently *Add* sections or reposition sections, it is likely that you need a /Custom Guide/. Once you have created a custom guide it is shown under the *Guides* drop down menu. And if you prefix the name with "My" e.g. _My Passage Guide_, Logos recognizes the name and uses it from the Home Page when you enter a word o (…)

 You can create as many custom guides as you please.

 Logos provides a /template editor/ which makes it easy to create or edit a custom guide:

 {{$ media:GuidesTemplateEditor.jpg }} \\

 The editor allows for word-based and scripture-based guides, and will restrict the available sections accordingly. The Passage Guide and Exegetical Guide could share the same sections, but it is not so with Bible Word Study. And the template also allows for Topics and Preaching Themes (both word-based datatypes).  \\

 

 Wiki's are available if you want a step-by-step approach to [[Customizing the Passage and Exegetical Guides]] and [[Customizing the Bible Word Study Guide]]. \\

* *Logos 8 and later*

Although the standard Guides can be customised without restriction, it is still possible to create a /Custom Guide/. In the Guides menu, click *New* at the bottom, then *Make a new Guide*. The editor is similar to that described above, but the guide is saved under *Custom Guides*. If you right-click that guide and select *Edit*, you can create another custom guide!

Custom guides may appear in the right-click Context menu.
