2. Click the Visual Filters icon in the resource panel toolbar. Available filters are listed in categories.

Visual Filter Types

• Resource — Highlights features based on data embedded in the resource. This includes basic features such as page numbers, chapters, and verses. Use this visual filter to help best navigate your resource.
• Community Notes — Displays community note icon for notes posted in your Faithlife.com groups. Use this visual filter to engage in meaningful study and conversation in community.
• Media — Displays media icons when media exists for the text. Use this to quickly create meaning slides for a sermon or social media posts.
• Corresponding Notes and Highlights — Displays notes and highlights you’ve made in other resources. Use this filter to display a note or highlight made on the same passage but in a different bible.
• Notes and Highlights — Displays note icons and highlights where they have been added to text. You can use this filter to show those highlights or turn off the highlights without deleting them.
• Passage Lists — Lists your Passage List documents and applies a filter to the Bible listing only the passages from the document, similar to the Inline Search display.
• Reading Plans — Marks the starting and stopping points in your Reading Plans.
• Custom Visual Filters — Highlights text in a resource according to a Visual Filter document you’ve created. Learn more about custom visual filters here.
