Search modes
Section titled “Search modes”How do I look up a specific verse?
Search → by reference: pick book, chapter, verse.
The passage opens in the reader sheet; copy / add actions depend on context.
How do I search by word or phrase?
Keyword mode: enter one or more words. Results list occurrences (per active translation).
Use more specific terms or switch to reference if you know the verse.
What are Bible themes?
Paths or passage groups offered by Scripvio for thematic study without knowing the exact reference.
Which Bible translation is used?
The displayed translation depends on Scripvio configuration and app / account language. Book names follow the UI locale.
Check settings in your version or updated documentation for translation changes.
Reuse in notes and journal
Section titled “Reuse in notes and journal”Can I copy a passage into my note or journal?
Yes after a successful search: copy or add to note / journal (labels per screen).
Adding a structured verse to a local_… note may require sync first.
Why is “Add to note” greyed out or blocked?
| Cause | Fix |
|---|---|
| Offline | Go online |
| Local note not synced | Wait for sync |
| No note open | Create or open a note draft first |
Can I use search from the note editor?
Often via Bible reference flow in the editor (add verse / passage). Return inserts into the active section.
Structured references offline: limited — see Notes FAQ.
Rights and content
Section titled “Rights and content”Can I quote verses elsewhere (PDF, share)?
PDF export and share follow rules for the Bible text provided by Scripvio’s service. For wide public distribution, check your translation terms.
