Find Favorites Within a Specific Book
To find favorites within a specific book, open the book and open its Sidebar . Then in the menu, navigate to the Favorites tab

Quick Links
Quick links are quick-access temporary favorites that can be called up with a keystroke. You can have up to nine quick links at a time.
Quick links are stored in the Quick Links folder which is a sub-folder under the Application folder at the top of the Favorites panel. The Quick Links folder contains nine quick link placeholders.
Set a Quick Link
There are four ways to set a quick link:
-
Click Set link on an available quick link to set the active resource at its current location.
-
Drag the resource tab to an available quick link number.
Note: You can also set a quick link to a Favorite by dragging one of your favorites to a quick link location.
-
Press the corresponding shortcut keys to set it [Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Cmd+Option+Shift (Mac) while pressing the number of the quick link you want to set].
For example: To set Luke 15:1 as a quick link (we'll use link 3), open a Bible to this location (if you have not already done so). Click Set link on quick link location 3 or drag the tab to Set link 3 or press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+3 (Windows) or Cmd+Option+Shift+3 (Mac).
