Reuse in notes and journal

After a Bible search, Scripvio lets you reuse a verse in personal work: draft note, draft journal, or meditation in Tracking. This guide covers each flow and draft / published rules.

Core rule: drafts only

Target	From Research	Published in Library
Draft note (Create)	✅ Add to a note	❌
Published note	❌	New version… then draft
Draft journal	✅ Add to journal	❌
Published journal	❌	New version… on entry

Reminder copy:

• Only drafts can receive verses from search — not notes published in the Library.
• Only drafts can receive verses from search — not entries published in the Library.

Add to a note (draft)

Steps

1. ⋮ → Add to a note.
2. Draft note sheet — Only drafts can receive verses…
3. Tap target note (compact tile: title, event type, date).
4. Verse placement sheet:
   • Choose whether the reference is added to the whole note or to a specific section.
   • Reference: chosen verse
   • Target: Note level or a listed section
5. Add verse.

Note level vs section

Target	Label	Effect
Whole note	Note level	References attached to the note itself, outside section blocks.
Section	Section name	Reference in that block in edit/read

Case	Message
No sections	No sections yet — the verse will be attached at note level.
Loading	Loading sections…
Section error	Sections could not be loaded. You can still add the verse at note level, or retry.

Success and empty lists

Message	Meaning
Verse added	Reference created on note
No draft notes. Create one from the Create tab.	Create → + → Note then retry

→ Bible references · Create a note

Add to journal (draft)

Steps

1. ⋮ → Add to journal.
2. Draft journal entry sheet — drafts-only subtitle.
3. Pick an entry (title, entry date).
4. Add to journal sheet:
   • The verse will be added to this draft entry.
5. Confirm.

Success and empty lists

Message	Meaning
Verse added	Reference linked to entry
No draft journal entries. Create one from the Create tab.	Create → + → Journal entry

Verse appears in journal editor/read per journal reference display.

Log meditation (Tracking)

1. ⋮ → Log meditation.
2. Add a meditation sheet with prefilled Bible reference (book, chapter, verses from result).
3. Fill Reflection (optional), Journal (draft) if needed.
4. Save.

Same post-create flow as Tracking: possible Link this meditation to a journal draft? banner.

Copy without adding

Copy reference puts only the address (e.g. Ephesians 2:8) on the clipboard — not the full verse text.

Confirmation snackbar uses Copy reference label.

Published in Library: what to do?

Need	Path
Add verse to published note	Library → note → New version… → draft → Research → Add to a note
Same for journal	New version… on entry → then Research or journal editor

You cannot skip publication: the verse must attach to the work draft.

→ Published versions

Connection and errors

Operation	Network
Search	Required (except cache)
Add verse to note/journal	Required — failure in snackbar
Pick draft	List per local/API sync

Frequently asked questions

Same verse on two draft notes?
Yes — each Add to a note creates a reference on the chosen note.

Edit verse after add?
From note editor (Bible references) or journal — not from the Research card.

Several verses from one search?
Repeat the action on each useful Results card.

Difference vs editor-added reference?
Same note data; Research is a shortcut from Bible reading.
