How to use the Study Set?

I would like to learn how to use the Gospel Library study set on both my iPhone and the church website, where can I find documentation?

Study sets are currently a website-only feature – they won't sync with the Gospel Library app (though I think there are plans to add them to the Gospel Library app in the future). Unfortunately, I don't think there's any documentation currently, either.

Can you tell me how to use them? Right now I am on the Default study set, is there a way to make a new one? How do I switch between two or more?

I'm also curious how to use the study sets. I can add a study set but I don't know what I can do with them or how to add content to a study set. What are they? How do they work?

I, too, have the same question. How do I add bookmarked articles, quotes, notes, etc. to the Study Set that I have named?

Okay, I think I figured out that a study set is the equivalent of having a new set of scriptures with no annotations. So, by switching to a new study set you get a fresh set of scriptures with no markings, notes, links, etc. Then when you want to go back to your old notes, you can switch to your default study set. You can use this for in depth topic study throughout the scriptures, or for working on a single lesson. Is there an article explaining this information? Because it wasn't quite intuitive to use but I think I figured it out.

I, too, am trying to figure out how to implement Study Set for use in my religion class. I saw somewhere it said to use it for like teaching a lesson, or for a class, like Im doing. So I pulled up an article or conference talk from the Gospel Library, hovered over the icon that has a pencil over 3 pages-like, then it says Study Set. When I click on that, I have the menu to add a study set, so I did. I started creating new notes and they went into that study set. Great!

However, when I was finished, I don't know where to pull up everything solely from that study set. This is where I am and I found this site to find out.

When I go to Library>Notes, ALL my notes are listed, and they simply show which study set they are from when I click on any. I guess I want to know more of how to use it; otherwise, I can just create a new notebook and put all those notes there. There has to be some really cool way to use study sets better than just notebooks or they wouldn't have put that as an option. Hmmm.

Alice,

Thanks for posting the steps to create a new Study Set!

The difference I see between using Notebooks and a Study Set is that with Notebooks all of your markings etc remain, and with a new Study Set you start with a fresh set of scriptures with no markings, links etc.

It looks like a help document about study sets was recently put online:
https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/tools/help/understanding-study-sets?lang=eng

Samuel: Thanks for the link, this has helped clarify a lot of things for me.

I have experimented and been able to switch study sets and see the difference in that my notes/highlights in the content area are there in one study set and the same notes are gone in another and can switch back and forth like that. And while it is ok that all the Notebooks are still grouped together - not matter what study set you are in, I am still trying to figure a way to group them by study set. Wouldn't it be nice to have a study set for 2022 Come Follow Me, with Notebooks for Young Women, Sunday School, Personal Study, Group Study, etc, just for that study set show up? I suppose if you name those Notebooks right, you could have those you want just for 2022 Come Follow Me grouped together in your Notebooks list. I don't have anything specific in mind but I'm just thinking while I type.

Thanks again!

You're welcome!

I haven't used study sets yet in Gospel Library Online, but I agree that it would make sense if notebooks were assigned to study sets so they could be turned on and off with the rest of the annotations in the study set. You could send it as a feature request using the link at the bottom of the Church website!

I don't know how to use the notebook online feature very well. I do know how to create a notebook and have sub-notes on the main subject. i.e. "Declarations on the birth of Christ", would be my main topic. I don't know how to use tags or add them and if I want to recover a main topic so I can add a scripture to it I am unable to do it. Is their a "how to" publication on the procedures to use notebooks?

I can create a study set, however, it will not let me use the toolbar ie highlight anything or use any of the tools. What am I doing wrong?

I cannot see a study set icon. Can anyone tell me where I will find it. I'm online on my laptop and I am in the Gospel Library but is still cannot see a study set icon.

I would love this to be polished and released for mobile apps. I’d love to start a topical study with a new set of digital scriptures, or collaborate, sharing a set of scriptures with a group. Sharing a digitally marked set of scriptures with a friend would be an amazing missionary tool.

Just discovered study sets. I’m surprised this hasn’t been added to the app yet. I imagine many use the app primarily. It’s “trying” to eventually see most verses marked already when the-studying a book or talk. Some of the tagging and marking functions on the app are a bit clunky on the phone if using a browser in order to use study sets.

This would be a great feature in the app. Too bad it isn’t available.

QQ: it's now been 3-4 years - is it safe to say that the app will never have this function ?
