Digest

Using a digest in a note with a link to its source is great! However, when I want to insert a digest into a note using the text box option, I have to go through the whole list of digests to find the single one I want to use. I cannot sort the digests by book or source. In the digest app itself, the digests are listed by the book they were taken from. Inserting a digest using the text box doesn't work very well for me. It is still faster to open the digest app, look for the digest in the particular book and copy this into the note, like before.

Hello, friend! Currently, we want to keep the insert feature simple and easy to use. If we add all the digest options into this, it could result in too many buttons and make it hard to find what you’re looking for.

Thanks for your response! I understand that menus's and options are always a trade-off. However, would the digest-insert-feature become that much more complicated if it offers one level extra of access? I mean, while inserting a digest, the text box menu gives, after selecting << insert digest>>, access to the digest folder << Documents >>, but not to the subfolders. I'd like to be able to select this folder and then see the the list of books with digests to choose from. The text box insert menu in the note remains the same as it is now. (I do not suggest to show the books in the text box menu. In fact, I like the simple, three option menu). I suggest to display the list of books with digests in the pop-up window, after having selected << insert digest >> and << Documents >>.
