In Logos, Clippings are the digital equivalent of using index cards for note-taking. Clippings allow you to extract and store excerpts from any resource to use later. Like notes, clippings consist of multiple individual clippings inside a single Clippings Document. However, unlike notes, clippings are optimized for exporting and sharing.
