Create, Organize, and Export Clippings

Print Friendly and PDF

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.

Note: This feature is available to all users.

 

 

Create a Clippings Document

Click the Documents icon Documents icon. Then, click New > Clippings. Give your Clippings Document a descriptive name by typing in the title field.

  2. Logos creates an individual clipping within your Clippings Document from the text you added.

    Click the resource abbreviation at the top left of the card to open the resource to that location in a new panel. 

    Click the Info icon Info icon at the bottom right of the card to bring up the bibliographic info for the source of the clipping.
