A label groups saved entries by your own topic, such as “Prayer” or “For discussion”. Assign one label to different bookmarks, notes and highlights, then find them through a filter.

A label’s colour distinguishes topics in lists. It does not colour Bible text or replace a highlight.

Create a label

  1. Open Saved.
  2. If filters are hidden, tap the filter icon at the top right.
  3. Choose Manage labels below the tabs.
  4. Tap Add Label.
  5. Enter a name, choose a colour and tap Save.
Enter a topic name and choose a colour. This example creates the label Study.

Assign a label

Edit a bookmark, note or highlight. Tap Add Label, choose the topic and save the entry. Repeat for other entries you want to group.

Return to Saved, open filters and select the label. If the list is empty, check the tab: notes and highlights have separate lists.

Delete a label

Find the name in Manage labels and choose deletion. Read the confirmation, especially if entries already use the label. Deleting a label does not delete the notes or bookmarks themselves.

Restore a deleted label

  1. Enable Show deleted in label management.
  2. Find the deleted name.
  3. Tap Restore label for that entry.
Show deleted reveals the removed Study label. The restore action is on its right.
