Studies — save your research

A study is a living document you build while you read: the words and phrases you're investigating, the passages you've gathered (with your comments), and — just as important — the passages you've already looked at and set aside. Studies are saved to your account, so a chain of research begun on one device picks up exactly where it left off on another.

Getting started

• Create an account with the sign in button (top right) → Register with your invite code. Registration is invite-only; ask whoever runs this instance for the code.
• Create a study in the Studies tab of the left sidebar (+ new study, type a title, press Enter). The ✎ on each study edits its title and description; the description takes light markdown (**bold**, *italic*, lists, links).
• Open a study by clicking it — it pins as a card at the top of the right-hand panel and stays there while you read. Click it again in the list (or the card's ✕) to set it down.

Anchors — what the study is built on

Anchors are the searches your study revolves around. With a study open, a + study button appears in three places:

• on any word card — saves that Greek or Hebrew word;
• on the phrase tray — saves your current word selection as a phrase (corpus and gap setting included);
• on an English search's results header — saves the search itself.

Saved anchors appear as chips on the pinned card. Click a chip any time to re-run its search — results are always live, never stale copies. The × on a chip removes it.

Collecting references

• With a study open, every occurrence hit, phrase hit, and search result grows two buttons on hover: + study adds the verse to your study; ✕ seen marks it reviewed, not relevant. Both are toggles — click again to undo.
• Seen verses stay dimmed in every list, in every session. That's the point: when ἀρχή has 222 LXX occurrences, you work through them once and never wonder “did I already check this one?”
• Added verses show a ✓ group-name chip — click it to attach a comment (markdown, saved with the reference).
• Groups — the into selector on the pinned card chooses where new references land; + new group… creates one. Groups are how you give a study structure (see the analogy example below).
• Manual entry — type any reference (Col 1:18) into the pinned card's box. The + study button on the trail-drawer bar captures the passage you're currently inspecting there.

Triage mode

The triage button on the pinned card turns the current hit list into a work queue: a progress bar, the buttons always visible, and a yellow cursor on the next undecided verse. Decide with the keyboard — A adds, S marks seen — and the cursor advances. Progress is just your marks, so you can stop mid-list and resume days later.

Worked example: a narrative analogy

Suppose you're tracing how David-and-Bathsheba retells Eden. Make a study with two groups, Eden and Bathsheba. Select רָאָה (saw) + לָקַח (took) in Genesis 3:6, save the phrase as an anchor, and search the Hebrew OT at scene width. Capture Genesis 3:6 into Eden and 2 Samuel 11:2–4 into Bathsheba, commenting each with the parallel you see; mark the hits that are mere coincidences of vocabulary as seen. Add more anchors as the pattern grows (חָמַד coveted, טוֹב good/beautiful…) — the study accumulates the whole argument, group by group.

The study page

⤢ on the pinned card opens the study as a full document: description and comments rendered, the English text quoted under every reference, anchors, groups, and the set-aside list. Everything is editable in place — click a comment to edit it, ✎ renames a group, ↑↓ reorder references, ✕ removes one. Reference links jump back into the reader.

Sharing & export

• Share — create share link on the study page makes a read-only link anyone can open, no account needed. Your other studies stay private. revoke link kills it instantly.
• Export — export markdown downloads the whole study as a clean .md file (title, description, anchors, grouped references with verse text and comments) — pasteable anywhere, and a fine per-study backup.

Your data

• Studies live on the server, private to your account, and survive app updates.
• The account dialog (click your name, top right) has download studies backup — a snapshot of everything.
• Archive (in a study's ✎ editor) tucks finished studies out of the list without deleting them; the show archived toggle brings them back. Delete is permanent and asks first.
