Below is a list of known issues with Gospel Library for Windows. This new version of the application has been written specifically for Windows 10 and takes advantage of Microsoft's Universal App Platform. Bugs that have been struck out below are bugs that are currently fixed in the code and will be fixed in an upcoming update to the beta.

You can learn more about Gospel Library for Windows 10 [[Gospel_Library_for_Windows_10|here]].

=General Issues=
Users will sometimes experience any of the following error messages because of bad or mismatched content updates: "ArgumentNull_Generic", "There was an error while prefetching annotations.", "Arg_NullReferenceException", and "The link is broken or the content may be unavailable." The developers of Gospel Library for Windows are working with the Church's content team to rework the content catalogs and delivery methods to prevent these issues in the future. For now, removing the affected content, restarting the app, and redownloading the previously unavailable content or complete app reset are the best solutions to these errors.

==Annotations==
*(VSO 856) InvalidCast_Com when making annotations in multiple window scenarios.

==Annotations Editor==
*(VSO 676) Invert cancel/delete/save button locations to match iOS, or use the more Windowsy close button and place save at the bottom below and to the right of Notebooks
*(VSO 829) Notes/journal entries sometimes prompt to save changes when no changes have been made.
*(VSO 877) When attempting to add a link to a journal entries using the + button in the editor, the user is presented with a ArgumentNull_Generic error instead of starting the linking process.

==Bookmarks==
*(VSO 857) Bookmarks in the Bookmarks pane do not work at all after recently installing or resetting the application. The app must be closed and reopened before the bookmarks work.
*(VSO 868) After being updated, bookmarks continue to navigate to their old locations until the app is restarted.

==Media==
*(VSO 788) It's not intuitive to have to select media again to get it to play after it has finished. For example, if I play Psalm 10, then move to Psalm 15, there's nothing that tells the user that, in order to get to Psalm 15's audio, they have to click the Select Audio button. If the audio playback has stopped (the chapter has finished playing or was never started) the app should be switching the audio selection for the user.

==Navigation==
*(VSO 603) Remove the redundant Doctrine and Covenants from Library Contents Entries for sections
*(VSO 804) A blank semantic square appears between M and N in the semantic zoom view of the Topical Guide.

==Performance==
*(VSO 837) App may be unresponsive during downloading. After initial launch, for example, a user cannot close the change log because the app is downloading the "starter" books.

==Printing==
*(VSO 720) Printing currently only supports the base content, and doesn't include any annotations--notes, tags, links, or markings.

==Search==
*(VSO 854) Search results for Church Magazines and General Conference past 2013 appear out of sequence, appearing below other available years instead of being sorted in reverse chronological order with the rest of the results.

==Sheet Music==
*(VSO 879) When transitioning to content in the Hymns or Children's Songbook that does not contain sheet music, like the First Lines and Titles page or hymns without sheet music because of copyright limitations, the sheet music from previous content that does fails to go away.

==Tabs==
*(VSO 808) References locations are not rehighlighted when switched back to in tabs. Open a piece of content, for example, Jacob 4. Open a reference and follow it, like "little"s link to Jarom 1:14 in verse 1. Open a new tab. Now switch back to Jarom. Note that the chapter is scrolled, but the referenced verse is not highlighted.

==Miscellaneous==
*(VSO 814) Ctrl + Mouse Wheel doesn't adjust the text size, but literally zooms on the HTML document.
*(VSO 838) Change log doesn't appear until the user navigates to the home page.
*(VSO 876) The "Change Margins" feature squashes the entire webview, moving the scroll bars to the middle of the visible space and causing the app's home screen to look a bit broken. The feature also only provides options for normal margins and slightly larger margins, instead of a series of various sizes, like very small, small, normal, large, very large.
*(VSO 878) For some users, the "Report Issue to the Developers" button does not function as expected.
*(VSO 880) In all versions of the app, after first run (and in beta/release versions, after large content updates), the downloads counter can sometimes get stuck and fails to update and dismiss itself when downloads complete.

=Mobile-Specific Issues=
*(VSO 845) Section covers remain pressed upon returning to their screen after switching tabs.
*(VSO 846) Pressing "Home" does not take the user to the top of the Home screen (as expected) if the user is already on the Home screen.

Gospel Library for Windows Known Issues

2018-05-20T14:38:37Z

ToManyLetters: Moving page from beta to this one

{{GLWin}}

Below is a list of known issues with Gospel Library for Windows. This new version of the application has been written specifically for Windows 10 and takes advantage of Microsoft's Universal App Platform. Bugs that have been struck out below are bugs that are currently fixed in the code and will be fixed in an upcoming update to the beta.

You can learn more about Gospel Library for Windows 10 [[Gospel_Library_for_Windows_10|here]].

=General Issues=
Users will sometimes experience any of the following error messages because of bad or mismatched content updates: "ArgumentNull_Generic", "There was an error while prefetching annotations.", "Arg_NullReferenceException", and "The link is broken or the content may be unavailable." The developers of Gospel Library for Windows are working with the Church's content team to rework the content catalogs and delivery methods to prevent these issues in the future. For now, removing the affected content, restarting the app, and redownloading the previously unavailable content or complete app reset are the best solutions to these errors.

==Annotations==
*(VSO 856) InvalidCast_Com when making annotations in multiple window scenarios.

==Annotations Editor==
*(VSO 676) Invert cancel/delete/save button locations to match iOS, or use the more Windowsy close button and place save at the bottom below and to the right of Notebooks
*(VSO 829) Notes/journal entries sometimes prompt to save changes when no changes have been made.

==Media==
*(VSO 788) It's not intuitive to have to select media again to get it to play after it has finished. For example, if I play Psalm 10, then move to Psalm 15, there's nothing that tells the user that, in order to get to Psalm 15's audio, they have to click the Select Audio button. If the audio playback has stopped (the chapter has finished playing or was never started) the app should be switching the audio selection for the user.

==Navigation==
*(VSO 603) Remove the redundant Doctrine and Covenants from Library Contents Entries for sections
*(VSO 804) A blank semantic square appears between M and N in the semantic zoom view of the Topical Guide.

==Performance==
*(VSO 837) App may be unresponsive during downloading. After initial launch, for example, a user cannot close the change log because the app is downloading the "starter" books.

==Printing==
*(VSO 720) Printing currently only supports the base content, and doesn't include any annotations--notes, tags, links, or markings.

==Search==
*(VSO 854) Search results for Church Magazines and General Conference past 2013 appear out of sequence, appearing below other available years instead of being sorted in reverse chronological order with the rest of the results.

==Tabs==
*(VSO 808) References locations are not rehighlighted when switched back to in tabs. Open a piece of content, for example, Jacob 4. Open a reference and follow it, like "little"s link to Jarom 1:14 in verse 1. Open a new tab. Now switch back to Jarom. Note that the chapter is scrolled, but the referenced verse is not highlighted.

==Miscellaneous==
*(VSO 814) Ctrl + Mouse Wheel doesn't adjust the text size, but literally zooms on the HTML document.
*(VSO 838) Change log doesn't appear until the user navigates to the home page.
*(VSO 876) The "Change Margins" feature squashes the entire webview, moving the scroll bars to the middle of the visible space and causing the app's home screen to look a bit broken. The feature also only provides options for normal margins and slightly larger margins, instead of a series of various sizes, like very small, small, normal, large, very large.

=Mobile-Specific Issues=
*(VSO 845) Section covers remain pressed upon returning to their screen after switching tabs.
*(VSO 846) Pressing "Home" does not take the user to the top of the Home screen (as expected) if the user is already on the Home screen.

== Gospel Library for Windows 10 ==

Our volunteer team has been hard at work developing a new version of Gospel Library designed for Windows 10, based on feedback from our users. Gospel Library for Windows 10 is available for download via the Microsoft Store for desktops, laptops, tablets, smart phones, and the Xbox One. It is recommended that your device run the Windows 10 Anniversary Update or newer.

[https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/gospel-library/9wzdncrfj2k4 Download Gospel Library for Windows 10 from the Microsoft Store]

== Features New to Gospel Library for Windows 10 ==

'''Tags''' - Gospel Library for Windows now supports tags! You can add a tag by going to the Annotations ribbon, clicking the tag icon, and adding as many tags as you like! You can also add a tag to any note when editing your note, or when you first create your note.

'''Links''' - You can add a link in Gospel Library for Windows by selecting text you'd like to link, then clicking the Link button in the Annotations ribbon. Then, navigate to where you'd like to link, and select it. Chose the "Link to <PLACE>" option in the ribbon. Your link is now created!

'''Role-Based Content''' - Users of the app that need access to calling-specific content, like Handbook 1, are now able to see, open, and use relevant role-based content.

'''Editing Highlights and Underlines''' - It's now possible and easy to edit the color, style, and size of your highlights and underlines. Select text with the highlight you'd like to edit, then press the hint bubble to bring up the context menu. If only one highlight is in the selection, you will see it appear with options in the context menu. If there are more than one, a Multiple Highlights option will appear to allow you to select the marking you want to edit.

'''Download All''' and '''Download Section''' - Windows now allows you to download all of the books in your current language in Gospel Library with only a few clicks instead of a few thousand! To download a section, right click (or long press) on its cover on the home page, then click "Download Section." To use Download All, press the more button (it looks like three dots) on the right side of the Home ribbon and click "Download All".

'''Notebooks''' - Gospel Library for Windows now also allows you to create notebooks, view content in your notebooks, and add annotations to existing notebooks via the new annotations pane!

'''Tabs at the Top''' - The tabs feature has become distinctly more tab-like, allowing you to make use of browser-like tabs to quickly and easily flip between open pages of Gospel Content.

'''Open Reference in New Tab or Window''' - In addition to the very tab-like tabs, you can now also open references to other materials in a new tab or window by right-clicking or pressing and holding on a reference, then choosing "open in new tab" or "open in new window".

'''Multi-Window Support''' - You can now have as many Gospel Library windows open at a time as you need so that you can be more flexible in your studies.

'''Sheet Music''' - The Sheet Music feature has returned, now available in more languages than ever before. This feature is now also available for the first time on phones. ''Note: We are still not yet testing on phones. This will change in the near future.''

'''Immersive Mode''' - With a double tap or double click, you can send the interface away, giving you extra reading space and allowing you to focus on what you're reading.

'''Breadcrumbs''' - The new omnibox in Gospel Library for Windows breadcrumbs your trail for you, allowing you to step back through any part of your library journey instantly. Further, you can use the arrows next to each part of the breadcrumbs to jump into a different part of the library quickly. You can also use the omnibox as a quick search to find whatever book or chapter you're looking for.

'''Custom Themes''' - We now have a host of custom themes at your disposal in the settings menu. In addition to being able to match your system accent color, you can select a color from a list of fifty colors to customize the look of the application.

'''No more confusing radial menu''' - We listened to your complaints about the radial menu, the circle many people dreaded and too few people were able to figure out. In its place are the new ribbons and, now in development, a shiny new context menu to allow you to get marking faster than ever before!

'''New Content Source''' - This new version of Gospel Library for Windows consumes a new source for its content, meaning it will always have the exact same content as the iOS and Android versions of Gospel Library (formerly, we shared content with just Android.) This also means that limitations caused by older content, like not being able to mark bulleted or numbered lists, content in tables, and other miscellaneous content, no longer exist. You can mark it all!

'''Rich Note Formatting''' - Gospel Library for Windows now also includes a new note editor that provides the ability for you to use bold and italics formatting, as well as bulleted and numbered lists in your notes. Further, you can now include extra spaces between paragraphs to your heart's content. That same note editor offers the ability to add tags and include your notes in any notebook or notebooks of your choosing.

'''Journal Entries''' - You can now create a new journal entry from Journals section of the Annotations pane and write your spiritual impressions as they come to you, no matter what you're studying.

'''Printing''' - Basic printing is now available in the application. You can print the content of a chapter or article by pressing the more (...) menu on the right side of the Home ribbon and clicking "Print". At this time, notes, highlights, and other annotations are not printed by the application.

'''Highlight Color Sets''' - You can now chose from one of six different sets of highlight colors so that your highlights and underlines appear in a way that is most helpful for you--whether brighter or softer.

'''New, Detailed Help and Tips''' - A brand new help guide has been written for Gospel Library for Windows 10 that offers help on each of the features of the application and offers tips on how to best take advantage of the tools Gospel Library for Windows 10 offers.

'''References Pane''' - An old friend made new again, the references pane and a new lower snap mode for references allow users to skim through a chapter's references with ease. The new references pane also keeps scrolled in sync with you as you read.

'''Interface Languages''' - We've made great progress with translating the app's interface into a host of languages: German, Spanish, Finnish, French, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Swedish, and Chinese. We'll continue to add additional languages as contributions allow.

'''Multimedia Management''' - The app now offers a media manager to help to remove downloaded multimedia to save space on your device. In addition, you can now download entire books worth of audio instead of needing to download all individual chapters.

=== Currently in Development ===

'''Preparation for Content Catalog Changes''' - We're now focused on working with the Church's content team on a new format for the content catalog used by all versions of Gospel Library. This change will dramatically improve app stability, speed, and will also drastically reduce data usage.

=== Gospel Library Beta for Windows 10 ===

We are currently focused on the app as it functions on desktops, laptops, 2-in-1s, tablets, and mobile phones running the Windows 10 Anniversary Update or newer and Xbox Ones running the most recent update. We are not yet testing on Windows Mixed Reality or Surface Hub.

We invite all who are willing to help us test and debug the latest versions of the application to join us by downloading and installing the beta from the Microsoft Store. Keep in mind that this beta is a genuine beta, and has a number of bugs, both known and unknown. Features may be missing, incomplete, or buggy. If you'd prefer a more stable experience, you can download, install, and use the non-beta version of the application via the Microsoft Store [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/gospel-library/9wzdncrfj2k4 here].

[https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/gospel-library-beta/9wzdncrdfdcd Download Gospel Library Beta for Windows 10 from the Microsoft Store]

=== Our Priorities ===

As Gospel Library for Windows is developed entirely by volunteers, we don't give time frames for upcoming or new features. However, we are prioritizing features that are already available in the current non-beta version of Gospel Library, like custom collections, advanced multimedia settings, and sharing.

=== How to Give Feedback ===

We maintain a public list of known issues with the beta that you can review [[Gospel_Library_for_Windows_Beta_Issues|here]]. It is helpful if you review this list before submitting feedback as it will help us cut-down on redundant feedback. Any issues needing further information will have a note encouraging users experiencing these issues to send any additional information they can provide for our developers. If you have a new issue--or aren't sure whether your issue is new or not--send an email to via the link in the application (Settings > About > Send Feedback). For feature requests, please visit [https://ldswin.uservoice.com/ our UserVoice page]. When sending error logs, please describe what you were doing when the error occurred--and be as specific as possible. The more information we have about an error, the easier it will be for us to reproduce the issue so that we can correct the error. Please also know that features in the current non-beta application, like the advanced media settings and the custom collections feature, are planned for this new version of the app as well. These features will be added in as app development progresses.

=== Ways to Help ===

Gospel Library for Windows is developed and supported entirely by volunteers. In addition to your prayers, we are always looking for more hands to make our work lighter. If you can contribute your time as a tester, translator, or, especially, a programmer, please join [https://tech.lds.org/projects?controller=projects&view=project&Projectid=157 our project here on LDS Tech]. We'd love to discuss the project with you in our weekly meetings.

== Answers to Frequently Asked Questions ==

=== 1. When will _____ be available in the new app? ===

As noted above, because Gospel Library for Windows is developed entirely by volunteers, we don't give time frames for upcoming or new features. We are, however, conscious of the fact that Gospel Library for Windows lacks some features that are available on Gospel Library for iOS and Gospel Library for Android and are working diligently to close the feature gap between our app and theirs.

=== 2. Why did you get rid of _____ feature? ===

Chances are, it's not something we're getting rid of, but something that we still need to bring back. Popular features like custom collections, annotations search, and read along are planned to make their return soon. We intend to bring as many features from Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 to Gospel Library for Windows 10 as quickly as we can. Only one feature will not be returning to Gospel Library for Windows 10: the Inspirational Messages feature.

=== 3. Have you abandoned the Windows 8.1 version of the app? ===

Although the legacy Windows 8.1 version of the app will remain available for download for the foreseeable future, we have elected to retire support for the Windows 8.1 application in favor of focusing our limited manpower on the Windows 10 application that runs on Windows 10 laptops, tablets, and desktops, Windows 10 Mobile phones, and the Xbox One. We simply don't have the resources to develop both versions of the app, and Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 relies on an older content source that is no longer supported by the Church's content team. Because Gospel Library for Windows 10 uses the same new content source used by Gospel Library 4 on iOS and Android, we feel our efforts are best spent on it.

=== An Important Note About Our Beta Test ===

We are currently focused on the app as it functions on desktops, laptops, 2-in-1s, and tablets running the Windows 10 Anniversary Update or newer. '''We are not taking any feedback concerning the application on Windows 10 Mobile at this time''' as the app, though available for phone users, is not ready for testing on phones. We are also not yet testing on Xbox One or on Windows Mixed Reality.

The more information we have about an error, the easier it will be for us to reproduce the issue so that we can correct the error. Please also know that features in the current non-beta application, like the advanced media settings and the custom collections feature, are planned for this new version of the app as well. These features will be added in as the beta progresses.

=== An Important Note About Our Beta Test ===

We are currently focused on the app as it functions on desktops, laptops, 2-in-1s, and tablets running the Windows 10 Anniversary Update or newer. '''We are not taking any feedback concerning the application on Windows 10 Mobile at this time''' as the app, though available for phone users, is not ready for testing on phones. We are also not yet testing on Xbox One or on Windows Mixed Reality.

=== Ways to Help ===

Gospel Library for Windows is developed and supported entirely by volunteers. In addition to your prayers, we are always looking for more hands to make our work lighter. If you can contribute your time as a tester, translator, or, especially, a programmer, please join [https://tech.lds.org/projects?controller=projects&view=project&Projectid=157 our project here on LDS Tech]. We'd love to discuss the project with you in our weekly meetings.

== Features New to Gospel Library for Windows 10 ==

'''Tags''' - Gospel Library for Windows now supports tags! You can add a tag by going to the Annotations ribbon, clicking the tag icon, and adding as many tags as you like! You can also add a tag to any note when editing your note, or when you first create your note.

'''Links''' - You can add a link in Gospel Library for Windows by selecting text you'd like to link, then clicking the Link button in the Annotations ribbon. Then, navigate to where you'd like to link, and select it. Chose the "Link to <PLACE>" option in the ribbon. Your link is now created!

'''Role-Based Content''' - Users of the app that need access to calling-specific content, like Handbook 1, are now able to see, open, and use relevant role-based content.

'''Editing Highlights and Underlines''' - It's now possible and easy to edit the color, style, and size of your highlights and underlines. Select text with the highlight you'd like to edit, then press the hint bubble to bring up the context menu. If only one highlight is in the selection, you will see it appear with options in the context menu. If there are more than one, a Multiple Highlights option will appear to allow you to select the marking you want to edit.

'''Download All''' and '''Download Section''' - Windows now allows you to download all of the books in your current language in Gospel Library with only a few clicks instead of a few thousand! To download a section, right click (or long press) on its cover on the home page, then click "Download Section." To use Download All, press the more button (it looks like three dots) on the right side of the Home ribbon and click "Download All".

'''Notebooks''' - Gospel Library for Windows now also allows you to create notebooks, view content in your notebooks, and add annotations to existing notebooks via the new annotations pane!

'''Tabs at the Top''' - The tabs feature has become distinctly more tab-like, allowing you to make use of browser-like tabs to quickly and easily flip between open pages of Gospel Content.

'''Open Reference in New Tab or Window''' - In addition to the very tab-like tabs, you can now also open references to other materials in a new tab or window by right-clicking or pressing and holding on a reference, then choosing "open in new tab" or "open in new window".

'''Multi-Window Support''' - You can now have as many Gospel Library windows open at a time as you need so that you can be more flexible in your studies.

'''Sheet Music''' - The Sheet Music feature has returned, now available in more languages than ever before. This feature is now also available for the first time on phones. ''Note: We are still not yet testing on phones. This will change in the near future.''

'''Immersive Mode''' - With a double tap or double click, you can send the interface away, giving you extra reading space and allowing you to focus on what you're reading.

'''Breadcrumbs''' - The new omnibox in Gospel Library for Windows breadcrumbs your trail for you, allowing you to step back through any part of your library journey instantly. Further, you can use the arrows next to each part of the breadcrumbs to jump into a different part of the library quickly. You can also use the omnibox as a quick search to find whatever book or chapter you're looking for.

'''Custom Themes''' - We now have a host of custom themes at your disposal in the settings menu. In addition to being able to match your system accent color, you can select a color from a list of fifty colors to customize the look of the application.

'''No more confusing radial menu''' - We listened to your complaints about the radial menu, the circle many people dreaded and too few people were able to figure out. In its place are the new ribbons and, now in development, a shiny new context menu to allow you to get marking faster than ever before!

'''New Content Source''' - This new version of Gospel Library for Windows consumes a new source for its content, meaning it will always have the exact same content as the iOS and Android versions of Gospel Library (formerly, we shared content with just Android.) This also means that limitations caused by older content, like not being able to mark bulleted or numbered lists, content in tables, and other miscellaneous content, no longer exist. You can mark it all!

'''Rich Note Formatting''' - Gospel Library for Windows now also includes a new note editor that provides the ability for you to use bold and italics formatting, as well as bulleted and numbered lists in your notes. Further, you can now include extra spaces between paragraphs to your heart's content. That same note editor offers the ability to add tags and include your notes in any notebook or notebooks of your choosing.

'''Journal Entries''' - You can now create a new journal entry from Journals section of the Annotations pane and write your spiritual impressions as they come to you, no matter what you're studying.

'''Printing''' - Basic printing is now available in the application. You can print the content of a chapter or article by pressing the more (...) menu on the right side of the Home ribbon and clicking "Print". At this time, notes, highlights, and other annotations are not printed by the application.

'''Highlight Color Sets''' - You can now chose from one of six different sets of highlight colors so that your highlights and underlines appear in a way that is most helpful for you--whether brighter or softer.

'''New, Detailed Help and Tips''' - A brand new help guide has been written for Gospel Library for Windows 10 that offers help on each of the features of the application and offers tips on how to best take advantage of the tools Gospel Library for Windows 10 offers.

'''References Pane''' - An old friend made new again, the references pane and a new lower snap mode for references allow users to skim through a chapter's references with ease. The new references pane also keeps scrolled in sync with you as you read.

'''Interface Languages''' - We've made great progress with translating the app's interface into a host of languages: German, Spanish, Finnish, French, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Swedish, and Chinese. We'll continue to add additional languages as contributions allow.

'''Multimedia Management''' - The app now offers a media manager to help to remove downloaded multimedia to save space on your device. In addition, you can now download entire books worth of audio instead of needing to download all individual chapters.

=== Currently in Development ===

'''Preparation for Content Catalog Changes''' - We're now focused on working with the Church's content team on a new format for the content catalog used by all versions of Gospel Library. This change will dramatically improve app stability, speed, and will also drastically reduce data usage.

=== Our Priorities ===

As Gospel Library for Windows is developed entirely by volunteers, we don't give time frames for upcoming or new features. However, we are prioritizing features that are already available in the current non-beta version of Gospel Library, like custom collections, advanced multimedia settings, and sharing.

== Answers to Frequently Asked Questions ==

=== 1. When will _____ be available in the new app? ===

As noted above, because Gospel Library for Windows is developed entirely by volunteers, we don't give time frames for upcoming or new features. We are, however, conscious of the fact that Gospel Library for Windows lacks some features that are available on Gospel Library for iOS and Gospel Library for Android and are working diligently to close the feature gap between our app and theirs.

=== 2. Why did you get rid of _____ feature? ===

Chances are, it's not something we're getting rid of, but something that we still need to bring back. Popular features like custom collections, annotations search, and read along are planned to make their return soon. We intend to bring as many features from Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 to Gospel Library for Windows 10 as quickly as we can. Only one feature will not be returning to Gospel Library for Windows 10: the Inspirational Messages feature.

=== 3. Have you abandoned the Windows 8.1 version of the app? ===

Although the legacy Windows 8.1 version of the app will remain available for download for the foreseeable future, we have elected to retire support for the Windows 8.1 application in favor of focusing our limited manpower on the Windows 10 application that runs on Windows 10 laptops, tablets, and desktops, Windows 10 Mobile phones, and the Xbox One. We simply don't have the resources to develop both versions of the app, and Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 relies on an older content source that is no longer supported by the Church's content team. Because Gospel Library for Windows 10 uses the same new content source used by Gospel Library 4 on iOS and Android, we feel our efforts are best spent on it.

ToManyLetters: Updated for Beta 4.1.41.0

== Gospel Library for Windows 10 Beta ==

Our volunteer team has been hard at work developing a new version of Gospel Library designed for Windows 10, based on feedback from our users. Right now, Gospel Library for Windows 10 is in a public beta stage, and we invite all who are willing to help us test and debug the new application to join us by downloading and installing the beta from the Windows Store. Keep in mind that this beta is a genuine beta, and has a number of bugs, both known and unknown. Features may be missing, incomplete, or buggy.

=== 3. Have you abandoned the Windows 8.1 version of the app? ===

No, but our focus is on Gospel Library for Windows 10. At least for now, the only future updates to Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 will be for critical bug fixes. We simply don't have the resources to develop both versions of the app, and Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 relies on an older content source that will not be around much longer. Because Gospel Library for Windows 10 uses the same new content source used by Gospel Library 4 on iOS and Android, we feel our efforts are best spent on it.

When sending error logs, please describe what you were doing when the error occurred--and be as specific as possible. The more information we have about an error, the easier it will be for us to reproduce the issue so that we can correct the error. Please also know that features in the current non-beta application, like the advanced media settings and the custom collections feature, are planned for this new version of the app as well. These features will be added in as the beta progresses.

=== An Important Note About Our Beta Test ===

We are currently focused on the app as it functions on desktops, laptops, 2-in-1s, and tablets running the Windows 10 Anniversary Update or newer. '''We are not taking any feedback concerning the application on Windows 10 Mobile at this time''' as the app, though available for phone users, is not ready for testing on phones. We are also not yet testing on Xbox One or on Windows Mixed Reality.

=== Ways to Help ===

Gospel Library for Windows is developed and supported entirely by volunteers. In addition to your prayers, we are always looking for more hands to make our work lighter. If you can contribute your time as a tester, translator, or, especially, a programmer, please join [https://tech.lds.org/projects?controller=projects&view=project&Projectid=157 our project here on LDS Tech]. We'd love to discuss the project with you in our weekly meetings.

== Features New to Gospel Library for Windows 10 ==

'''Tags''' - Gospel Library for Windows now supports tags! You can add a tag by going to the Annotations ribbon, clicking the tag icon, and adding as many tags as you like! You can also add a tag to any note when editing your note, or when you first create your note.

'''Links''' - You can add a link in Gospel Library for Windows by selecting text you'd like to link, then clicking the Link button in the Annotations ribbon. Then, navigate to where you'd like to link, and select it. Chose the "Link to <PLACE>" option in the ribbon. Your link is now created!

'''Role-Based Content''' - Users of the app that need access to calling-specific content, like Handbook 1, are now able to see, open, and use relevant role-based content.

'''Editing Highlights and Underlines''' - It's now possible and easy to edit the color, style, and size of your highlights and underlines. Select text with the highlight you'd like to edit, then press the hint bubble to bring up the context menu. If only one highlight is in the selection, you will see it appear with options in the context menu. If there are more than one, a Multiple Highlights option will appear to allow you to select the marking you want to edit.

'''Download All''' and '''Download Section''' - Windows now allows you to download all of the books in your current language in Gospel Library with only a few clicks instead of a few thousand! To download a section, right click (or long press) on its cover on the home page, then click "Download Section." To use Download All, press the more button (it looks like three dots) on the right side of the Home ribbon and click "Download All".

'''Notebooks''' - Gospel Library for Windows now also allows you to create notebooks, view content in your notebooks, and add annotations to existing notebooks via the new annotations pane!

'''Tabs at the Top''' - The tabs feature has become distinctly more tab-like, allowing you to make use of browser-like tabs to quickly and easily flip between open pages of Gospel Content.

'''Open Reference in New Tab or Window''' - In addition to the very tab-like tabs, you can now also open references to other materials in a new tab or window by right-clicking or pressing and holding on a reference, then choosing "open in new tab" or "open in new window".

'''Multi-Window Support''' - You can now have as many Gospel Library windows open at a time as you need so that you can be more flexible in your studies.

'''Sheet Music''' - The Sheet Music feature has returned, now available in more languages than ever before. This feature is now also available for the first time on phones. ''Note: We are still not yet testing on phones. This will change in the near future.''

'''Immersive Mode''' - With a double tap or double click, you can send the interface away, giving you extra reading space and allowing you to focus on what you're reading.

'''Breadcrumbs''' - The new omnibox in Gospel Library for Windows breadcrumbs your trail for you, allowing you to step back through any part of your library journey instantly. Further, you can use the arrows next to each part of the breadcrumbs to jump into a different part of the library quickly. You can also use the omnibox as a quick search to find whatever book or chapter you're looking for.

'''Custom Themes''' - We now have a host of custom themes at your disposal in the settings menu. In addition to being able to match your system accent color, you can select a color from a list of fifty colors to customize the look of the application.

'''No more confusing radial menu''' - We listened to your complaints about the radial menu, the circle many people dreaded and too few people were able to figure out. In its place are the new ribbons and, now in development, a shiny new context menu to allow you to get marking faster than ever before!

'''New Content Source''' - This new version of Gospel Library for Windows consumes a new source for its content, meaning it will always have the exact same content as the iOS and Android versions of Gospel Library (formerly, we shared content with just Android.) This also means that limitations caused by older content, like not being able to mark bulleted or numbered lists, content in tables, and other miscellaneous content, no longer exist. You can mark it all!

'''Rich Note Formatting''' - Gospel Library for Windows now also includes a new note editor that provides the ability for you to use bold and italics formatting, as well as bulleted and numbered lists in your notes. Further, you can now include extra spaces between paragraphs to your heart's content. That same note editor offers the ability to add tags and include your notes in any notebook or notebooks of your choosing.

'''Journal Entries''' - You can now create a new journal entry from Journals section of the Annotations pane and write your spiritual impressions as they come to you, no matter what you're studying.

'''Printing''' - Basic printing is now available in the application. You can print the content of a chapter or article by pressing the more (...) menu on the right side of the Home ribbon and clicking "Print". At this time, notes, highlights, and other annotations are not printed by the application.

'''Highlight Color Sets''' - You can now chose from one of six different sets of highlight colors so that your highlights and underlines appear in a way that is most helpful for you--whether brighter or softer.

'''New, Detailed Help and Tips''' - A brand new help guide has been written for Gospel Library for Windows 10 that offers help on each of the features of the application and offers tips on how to best take advantage of the tools Gospel Library for Windows 10 offers.

'''References Pane''' - An old friend made new again, the references pane and a new lower snap mode for references allow users to skim through a chapter's references with ease. The new references pane also keeps scrolled in sync with you as you read.

=== Currently in Development ===

'''Preparation for Initial Public Release''' - We're now focused on killing as many bugs and issues as we can before we replace the legacy app for all Windows 10 users.

'''Interface Languages''' - We have recently started the process of translating the interface into five key languages for the application: Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, and German. Ideally, we'd like to make the application available in every language currently available in Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 before we leave beta.

=== Our Priorities ===

As Gospel Library for Windows is developed entirely by volunteers, we don't give time frames for upcoming or new features. However, we are prioritizing features that are already available in the current non-beta version of Gospel Library, like custom collections, advanced multimedia settings, and sharing.

== Answers to Frequently Asked Questions ==

=== 1. When will _____ be available in the new app? ===

As noted above, because Gospel Library for Windows is developed entirely by volunteers, we don't give time frames for upcoming or new features. We are, however, conscious of the fact that Gospel Library for Windows lacks some features that are available on Gospel Library for iOS and Gospel Library for Android and are working diligently to close the feature gap between our app and theirs.

=== 2. Why did you get rid of _____ feature? ===

Chances are, it's not something we're getting rid of, but something that we still need to bring back. Popular features like Continuous Play, custom playback speeds, and Read Along are planned to make their return soon. We intend to bring as many features from Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 to Gospel Library for Windows 10 as quickly as we can. Only one feature will not be returning to Gospel Library for Windows 10: the Inspirational Messages feature.

=== 3. Have you abandoned the Windows 8.1 version of the app? ===

No, but our focus is on Gospel Library for Windows 10. At least for now, the only future updates to Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 will be for critical bug fixes. We simply don't have the resources to develop both versions of the app, and Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 relies on an older content source that will not be around much longer. Because Gospel Library for Windows 10 uses the same new content source used by Gospel Library 4 on iOS and Android, we feel our efforts are best spent on it.

'''We are not taking any feedback concerning the application on Windows 10 Mobile at this time''' as the app, though available for phone users, is not ready for testing on phones. We are also not yet testing on Xbox One or on Windows Mixed Reality.

=== Ways to Help ===

Gospel Library for Windows is developed and supported entirely by volunteers. In addition to your prayers, we are always looking for more hands to make our work lighter. If you can contribute your time as a tester, translator, or, especially, a programmer, please join [https://tech.lds.org/projects?controller=projects&view=project&Projectid=157 our project here on LDS Tech]. We'd love to discuss the project with you in our weekly meetings.

== Features New to Gospel Library for Windows 10 ==

'''Tags''' - Gospel Library for Windows now supports tags! You can add a tag by going to the Annotations ribbon, clicking the tag icon, and adding as many tags as you like! You can also add a tag to any note when editing your note, or when you first create your note.

'''Links''' - You can add a link in Gospel Library for Windows by selecting text you'd like to link, then clicking the Link button in the Annotations ribbon. Then, navigate to where you'd like to link, and select it. Chose the "Link to <PLACE>" option in the ribbon. Your link is now created!

'''Role-Based Content''' - Users of the app that need access to calling-specific content, like Handbook 1, are now able to see, open, and use relevant role-based content.

'''Editing Highlights and Underlines''' - It's now possible and easy to edit the color, style, and size of your highlights and underlines. Select text with the highlight you'd like to edit, then press the hint bubble to bring up the context menu. If only one highlight is in the selection, you will see it appear with options in the context menu. If there are more than one, a Multiple Highlights option will appear to allow you to select the marking you want to edit.

'''Download All''' and '''Download Section''' - Windows now allows you to download all of the books in your current language in Gospel Library with only a few clicks instead of a few thousand! To download a section, right click (or long press) on its cover on the home page, then click "Download Section." To use Download All, press the more button (it looks like three dots) on the right side of the Home ribbon and click "Download All".

'''Notebooks''' - Gospel Library for Windows now also allows you to create notebooks, view content in your notebooks, and add annotations to existing notebooks via the new annotations pane!

'''Tabs at the Top''' - The tabs feature has become distinctly more tab-like, allowing you to make use of browser-like tabs to quickly and easily flip between open pages of Gospel Content.

'''Open Reference in New Tab or Window''' - In addition to the very tab-like tabs, you can now also open references to other materials in a new tab or window by right-clicking or pressing and holding on a reference, then choosing "open in new tab" or "open in new window".

'''Multi-Window Support''' - You can now have as many Gospel Library windows open at a time as you need so that you can be more flexible in your studies.

'''Sheet Music''' - The Sheet Music feature has returned, now available in more languages than ever before. This feature is now also available for the first time on phones. ''Note: We are still not yet testing on phones. This will change in the near future.''

'''Immersive Mode''' - With a double tap or double click, you can send the interface away, giving you extra reading space and allowing you to focus on what you're reading.

'''Breadcrumbs''' - The new omnibox in Gospel Library for Windows breadcrumbs your trail for you, allowing you to step back through any part of your library journey instantly. Further, you can use the arrows next to each part of the breadcrumbs to jump into a different part of the library quickly. You can also use the omnibox as a quick search to find whatever book or chapter you're looking for.

'''Custom Themes''' - We now have a host of custom themes at your disposal in the settings menu. In addition to being able to match your system accent color, you can select a color from a list of fifty colors to customize the look of the application.

'''No more confusing radial menu''' - We listened to your complaints about the radial menu, the circle many people dreaded and too few people were able to figure out. In its place are the new ribbons and, now in development, a shiny new context menu to allow you to get marking faster than ever before!

'''New Content Source''' - This new version of Gospel Library for Windows consumes a new source for its content, meaning it will always have the exact same content as the iOS and Android versions of Gospel Library (formerly, we shared content with just Android.) This also means that limitations caused by older content, like not being able to mark bulleted or numbered lists, content in tables, and other miscellaneous content, no longer exist. You can mark it all!

'''Rich Note Formatting''' - Gospel Library for Windows now also includes a new note editor that provides the ability for you to use bold and italics formatting, as well as bulleted and numbered lists in your notes. Further, you can now include extra spaces between paragraphs to your heart's content. That same note editor offers the ability to add tags and include your notes in any notebook or notebooks of your choosing.

'''Journal Entries''' - You can now create a new journal entry from Journals section of the Annotations pane and write your spiritual impressions as they come to you, no matter what you're studying.

'''Printing''' - Basic printing is now available in the application. You can print the content of a chapter or article by pressing the more (...) menu on the right side of the Home ribbon and clicking "Print". At this time, notes, highlights, and other annotations are not printed by the application.

'''Highlight Color Sets''' - You can now chose from one of six different sets of highlight colors so that your highlights and underlines appear in a way that is most helpful for you--whether brighter or softer.

'''New, Detailed Help and Tips''' - A brand new help guide has been written for Gospel Library for Windows 10 that offers help on each of the features of the application and offers tips on how to best take advantage of the tools Gospel Library for Windows 10 offers.

=== Currently in Development ===

'''Preparation for Initial Public Release''' - We're now focused on killing as many bugs and issues as we can before we replace the legacy app for all Windows 10 users.

''References Pane'' - An old friend made new again, the references pane and a new lower snap mode for references will allow users to skim through a chapter's references with ease. The new references pane will also scroll with you to keep in sync with you as you read.

'''Interface Languages''' - We have recently started the process of translating the interface into five key languages for the application: Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, and German. Ideally, we'd like to make the application available in every language currently available in Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 before we leave beta.

=== Our Priorities ===

As Gospel Library for Windows is developed entirely by volunteers, we don't give time frames for upcoming or new features. However, we are prioritizing features that are already available in the current non-beta version of Gospel Library, like the ability to change app language, resuming where you left off, and advanced multimedia settings.

== Answers to Frequently Asked Questions ==

=== 1. When will _____ be available in the new app? ===

As noted above, because Gospel Library for Windows is developed entirely by volunteers, we don't give time frames for upcoming or new features. We are, however, conscious of the fact that Gospel Library for Windows lacks some features that are available on Gospel Library for iOS and Gospel Library for Android and are working diligently to close the feature gap between our app and theirs.

=== 2. Why did you get rid of _____ feature? ===

Chances are, it's not something we're getting rid of, but something that we still need to bring back. Popular features like the references pane and media settings like Continuous Play, custom playback speeds, and Read Along are planned to make their return soon. We intend to bring as many features from Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 to Gospel Library for Windows 10 as quickly as we can. Only one feature will not be returning to Gospel Library for Windows 10: the Inspirational Messages feature.

=== 3. Have you abandoned the Windows 8.1 version of the app? ===

No, but our focus is on Gospel Library for Windows 10. At least for now, the only future updates to Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 will be for critical bug fixes. We simply don't have the resources to develop both versions of the app, and Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 relies on an older content source that may not be around much longer. Because Gospel Library for Windows 10 uses the same new content source used by Gospel Library 4 on iOS and Android, we feel our efforts are best spent on it.

== Gospel Library for Windows 10 Beta ==

Our volunteer team has been hard at work developing a new version of Gospel Library designed for Windows 10, based on feedback from our users. Right now, Gospel Library for Windows 10 is in a public beta stage, and we invite all who are willing to help us test and debug the new application to join us by downloading and installing the beta from the Windows Store. Keep in mind that this beta is a genuine beta, and has a number of bugs, both known and unknown. Features may be missing, incomplete, or buggy. If you'd prefer a more stable experience, you can download, install, and use the non-beta version of the application via the Windows Store [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/gospel-library/9wzdncrfj2k4 here].

[https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/gospel-library-beta/9wzdncrdfdcd Download Gospel Library Beta from the Windows Store]

=== How to Give Feedback ===

We maintain a public list of known issues with the beta that you can review [[Gospel_Library_for_Windows_Beta_Issues|here]]. It is helpful if you review this list before submitting feedback as it will help us cut-down on redundant feedback. Any issues needing further information will have a note encouraging users experiencing these issues to send any additional information they can provide for our developers. If you have a new issue--or aren't sure whether your issue is new or not--send an email to via the link in the application (Settings > About > Send Feedback). For feature requests, please visit [https://ldswin.uservoice.com/ our UserVoice page]. When sending error logs, please describe what you were doing when the error occurred--and be as specific as possible. The more information we have about an error, the easier it will be for us to reproduce the issue so that we can correct the error. Please also know that features in the current non-beta application, like the references pane and advanced media settings, are planned for this new version of the app as well. These features will be added in as the beta progresses.

'''Links''' - You can add a link in Gospel Library for Windows by selecting text you'd like to link, then clicking the Link button in the Annotations ribbon. Then, navigate to where you'd like to link, and select it. Chose the "Link to <PLACE>" option in the ribbon. Your link is now created!

'''Role-Based Content''' - Users of the app that need access to calling-specific content, like Handbook 1, are now able to see, open, and use relevant role-based content.

'''Editing Highlights and Underlines''' - It's now possible and easy to edit the color, style, and size of your highlights and underlines. Select text with the highlight you'd like to edit, then press the hint bubble to bring up the context menu. If only one highlight is in the selection, you will see it appear with options in the context menu. If there are more than one, a Multiple Highlights option will appear to allow you to select the marking you want to edit.

'''Download All''' and '''Download Section''' - Windows now allows you to download all of the books in your current language in Gospel Library with only a few clicks instead of a few thousand! To download a section, right click (or long press) on its cover on the home page, then click "Download Section." To use Download All, press the more button (it looks like three dots) on the right side of the Home ribbon and click "Download All".

'''Notebooks''' - Gospel Library for Windows now also allows you to create notebooks, view content in your notebooks, and add annotations to existing notebooks via the new annotations pane!

'''Tabs at the Top''' - The tabs feature has become distinctly more tab-like, allowing you to make use of browser-like tabs to quickly and easily flip between open pages of Gospel Content.

'''Open Reference in New Tab or Window''' - In addition to the very tab-like tabs, you can now also open references to other materials in a new tab or window.

'''Multi-Window Support''' - You can now have as many Gospel Library windows open at a time as you need so that you can be more flexible in your studies.

'''Sheet Music''' - The Sheet Music feature has returned, now available in more languages than ever before. This feature is now also available for the first time on phones.

'''Immersive Mode''' - With a double tap or double click, you can send the interface away, giving you extra reading space and allowing you to focus on what you're reading.

'''Breadcrumbs''' - The new omnibox in Gospel Library for Windows breadcrumbs your trail for you, allowing you to step back through any part of your library journey instantly. Further, you can use the arrows next to each part of the breadcrumbs to jump into a different part of the library quickly. You can also use the omnibox as a quick search to find whatever book or chapter you're looking for.

'''Custom Themes''' - We now have a host of custom themes at your disposal in the settings menu. In addition to being able to match your system accent color, you can select a color from a list of fifty colors to customize the look of the application.

'''No more confusing radial menu''' - We listened to your complaints about the radial menu, the circle many people dreaded and too few people were able to figure out. In its place are the new ribbons and, now in development, a shiny new context menu to allow you to get marking faster than ever before!

'''New Content Source''' - This new version of Gospel Library for Windows consumes a new source for its content, meaning it will always have the exact same content as the iOS and Android versions of Gospel Library (formerly, we shared content with just Android.) This also means that limitations caused by older content, like not being able to mark bulleted or numbered lists, content in tables, and other miscellaneous content, no longer exist. You can mark it all!

'''Rich Note Formatting''' - Gospel Library for Windows now also includes a new note editor that provides the ability for you to use bold and italics formatting, as well as bulleted and numbered lists in your notes. Further, you can now include extra spaces between paragraphs to your heart's content. That same note editor offers the ability to add tags and include your notes in any notebook or notebooks of your choosing.

'''Journal Entries''' - You can now create a new journal entry from Journals section of the Annotations pane and write your spiritual impressions as they come to you, no matter what you're studying.

'''Printing''' - Basic printing is now available in the application. You can print the content of a chapter or article by pressing the more (...) menu on the right side of the Home ribbon and clicking "Print". At this time, notes, highlights, and other annotations are not printed by the application.

'''Highlight Color Sets''' - You can now chose from one of six different sets of highlight colors so that your highlights and underlines appear in a way that is most helpful for you--whether brighter or softer.

'''New, Detailed Help and Tips''' - A brand new help guide has been written for Gospel Library for Windows 10 that offers help on each of the features of the application and offers tips on how to best take advantage of the tools Gospel Library for Windows 10 offers.

=== Currently in Development ===

'''Preparation for Initial Public Release''' - We're now focused on killing as many bugs and issues as we can before we replace the legacy app for all Windows 10 users.

'''Interface Languages''' - We have recently started the process of translating the interface into five key languages for the application: Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, and German. Ideally, we'd like to make the application available in every language currently available in Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 before we leave beta.

=== Our Priorities ===

As Gospel Library for Windows is developed entirely by volunteers, we don't give time frames for upcoming or new features. However, we are prioritizing features that are already available in the current non-beta version of Gospel Library, like the ability to change app language, resuming where you left off, and advanced multimedia settings.

== Answers to Frequently Asked Questions ==

=== 1. When will _____ be available in the new app? ===

As noted above, because Gospel Library for Windows is developed entirely by volunteers, we don't give time frames for upcoming or new features. We are, however, conscious of the fact that Gospel Library for Windows lacks some features that are available on Gospel Library for iOS and Gospel Library for Android and are working diligently to close the feature gap between our app and theirs.

=== 2. Why did you get rid of _____ feature? ===

Chances are, it's not something we're getting rid of, but something that we still need to bring back. Popular features like the references pane and media settings like Continuous Play, custom playback speeds, and Read Along are planned to make their return soon. We intend to bring as many features from Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 to Gospel Library for Windows 10 as quickly as we can. Only one feature will not be returning to Gospel Library for Windows 10: the Inspirational Messages feature.

=== 3. Have you abandoned the Windows 8.1 version of the app? ===

No, but our focus is on Gospel Library for Windows 10. At least for now, the only future updates to Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 will be for critical bug fixes. We simply don't have the resources to develop both versions of the app, and Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 relies on an older content source that may not be around much longer. Because Gospel Library for Windows 10 uses the same new content source used by Gospel Library 4 on iOS and Android, we feel our efforts are best spent on it.

ToManyLetters: /* Features New to Gospel Library for Windows 10 */

== Gospel Library for Windows 10 Beta ==

Our volunteer team has been hard at work developing a new version of Gospel Library designed for Windows 10, based on feedback from our users. Right now, Gospel Library for Windows 10 is in a public beta stage, and we invite all who are willing to help us test and debug the new application to join us by downloading and installing the beta from the Windows Store. Keep in mind that this beta is a genuine beta, and has a number of bugs, both known and unknown. Features may be missing, incomplete, or buggy. If you'd prefer a more stable experience, you can download, install, and use the non-beta version of the application via the Windows Store [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/gospel-library/9wzdncrfj2k4 here].

[https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/gospel-library-beta/9wzdncrdfdcd Download Gospel Library Beta from the Windows Store]

=== How to Give Feedback ===

We maintain a public list of known issues with the beta that you can review [[Gospel_Library_for_Windows_Beta_Issues|here]]. It is helpful if you review this list before submitting feedback as it will help us cut-down on redundant feedback. Any issues needing further information will have a note encouraging users experiencing these issues to send any additional information they can provide for our developers. If you have a new issue--or aren't sure whether your issue is new or not--send an email to via the link in the application (Settings > About > Send Feedback). For feature requests, please visit [https://ldswin.uservoice.com/ our UserVoice page]. When sending error logs, please describe what you were doing when the error occurred--and be as specific as possible. The more information we have about an error, the easier it will be for us to reproduce the issue so that we can correct the error. Please also know that features in the current non-beta application, like the references pane and advanced media settings, are planned for this new version of the app as well. These features will be added in as the beta progresses.

=== An Important Note About Our Beta Test ===

We are currently focused on the app as it functions on desktops, laptops, 2-in-1s, and tablets running the Windows 10 Anniversary Update or newer. '''We are not taking any feedback concerning the application on Windows 10 Mobile at this time''' as the app, though available for phone users, is not ready for testing on phones. We are also not yet testing on Xbox One or on Windows Mixed Reality.

=== Ways to Help ===

Gospel Library for Windows is developed and supported entirely by volunteers. In addition to your prayers, we are always looking for more hands to make our work lighter. If you can contribute your time as a tester, translator, or, especially, a programmer, please join [https://tech.lds.org/projects?controller=projects&view=project&Projectid=157 our project here on LDS Tech]. We'd love to discuss the project with you in our weekly meetings.

'''Immersive Mode''' - With a double tap or double click, you can send the interface away, giving you extra reading space and allowing you to focus on what you're reading.

'''Breadcrumbs''' - The new omnibox in Gospel Library for Windows breadcrumbs your trail for you, allowing you to step back through any part of your library journey instantly. Further, you can use the arrows next to each part of the breadcrumbs to jump into a different part of the library quickly. You can also use the omnibox as a quick search to find whatever book or chapter you're looking for.

'''Custom Themes''' - We now have a host of custom themes at your disposal in the settings menu. In addition to being able to match your system accent color, you can select a color from a list of fifty colors to customize the look of the application.

'''No more confusing radial menu''' - We listened to your complaints about the radial menu, the circle many people dreaded and too few people were able to figure out. In its place are the new ribbons and, now in development, a shiny new context menu to allow you to get marking faster than ever before!

'''New Content Source''' - This new version of Gospel Library for Windows consumes a new source for its content, meaning it will always have the exact same content as the iOS and Android versions of Gospel Library (formerly, we shared content with just Android.) This also means that limitations caused by older content, like not being able to mark bulleted or numbered lists, content in tables, and other miscellaneous content, no longer exist. You can mark it all!

'''Rich Note Formatting''' - Gospel Library for Windows now also includes a new note editor that provides the ability for you to use bold and italics formatting, as well as bulleted and numbered lists in your notes. Further, you can now include extra spaces between paragraphs to your heart's content. That same note editor offers the ability to add tags and include your notes in any notebook or notebooks of your choosing.

'''Journal Entries''' - You can now create a new journal entry from Journals section of the Annotations pane and write your spiritual impressions as they come to you, no matter what you're studying.

'''Printing''' - Basic printing is now available in the application. You can print the content of a chapter or article by pressing the more (...) menu on the right side of the Home ribbon and clicking "Print". At this time, notes, highlights, and other annotations are not printed by the application.

'''Highlight Color Sets''' - You can now chose from one of six different sets of highlight colors so that your highlights and underlines appear in a way that is most helpful for you--whether brighter or softer.

'''New, Detailed Help and Tips''' - A brand new help guide has been written for Gospel Library for Windows 10 that offers help on each of the features of the application and offers tips on how to best take advantage of the tools Gospel Library for Windows 10 offers.

=== Currently in Development ===

'''Preparation for Initial Public Release''' - We're now focused on killing as many bugs and issues as we can before we replace the legacy app for all Windows 10 users.

'''Interface Languages''' - We have recently started the process of translating the interface into five key languages for the application: Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, and German. Ideally, we'd like to make the application available in every language currently available in Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 before we leave beta.

=== Our Priorities ===

As Gospel Library for Windows is developed entirely by volunteers, we don't give time frames for upcoming or new features. However, we are prioritizing features that are already available in the current non-beta version of Gospel Library, like the ability to change app language, resuming where you left off, and advanced multimedia settings.

== Answers to Frequently Asked Questions ==

=== 1. When will _____ be available in the new app? ===

As noted above, because Gospel Library for Windows is developed entirely by volunteers, we don't give time frames for upcoming or new features. We are, however, conscious of the fact that Gospel Library for Windows lacks some features that are available on Gospel Library for iOS and Gospel Library for Android and are working diligently to close the feature gap between our app and theirs.

=== 2. Why did you get rid of _____ feature? ===

Chances are, it's not something we're getting rid of, but something that we still need to bring back. Popular features like the references pane and media settings like Continuous Play, custom playback speeds, and Read Along are planned to make their return soon. We intend to bring as many features from Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 to Gospel Library for Windows 10 as quickly as we can. Only one feature will not be returning to Gospel Library for Windows 10: the Inspirational Messages feature.

=== 3. Have you abandoned the Windows 8.1 version of the app? ===

No, but our focus is on Gospel Library for Windows 10. At least for now, the only future updates to Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 will be for critical bug fixes. We simply don't have the resources to develop both versions of the app, and Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 relies on an older content source that may not be around much longer. Because Gospel Library for Windows 10 uses the same new content source used by Gospel Library 4 on iOS and Android, we feel our efforts are best spent on it.

== Gospel Library for Windows 10 Beta ==

Our volunteer team has been hard at work developing a new version of Gospel Library designed for Windows 10, based on feedback from our users. Right now, Gospel Library for Windows 10 is in a public beta stage, and we invite all who are willing to help us test and debug the new application to join us by downloading and installing the beta from the Windows Store. Keep in mind that this beta is a genuine beta, and has a number of bugs, both known and unknown. Features may be missing, incomplete, or buggy. If you'd prefer a more stable experience, you can download, install, and use the non-beta version of the application via the Windows Store [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/gospel-library/9wzdncrfj2k4 here].

[https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/gospel-library-beta/9wzdncrdfdcd Download Gospel Library Beta from the Windows Store]

=== How to Give Feedback ===

We maintain a public list of known issues with the beta that you can review [[Gospel_Library_for_Windows_Beta_Issues|here]]. It is helpful if you review this list before submitting feedback as it will help us cut-down on redundant feedback. Any issues needing further information will have a note encouraging users experiencing these issues to send any additional information they can provide for our developers. If you have a new issue--or aren't sure whether your issue is new or not--send an email to via the link in the application (Settings > About > Send Feedback). For feature requests, please visit [https://ldswin.uservoice.com/ our UserVoice page]. When sending error logs, please describe what you were doing when the error occurred--and be as specific as possible. The more information we have about an error, the easier it will be for us to reproduce the issue so that we can correct the error. Please also know that features in the current non-beta application, like the sheet music and advanced media settings, are planned for this new version of the app as well. These features will be added in as the beta progresses.

=== An Important Note About Our Beta Test ===

We are currently focused on the app as it functions on desktops, laptops, 2-in-1s, and tablets running the Windows 10 Anniversary Update or newer. '''We are not taking any feedback concerning the application on Windows 10 Mobile at this time''' as the app, though available for phone users, is not ready for testing on phones. We are also not yet testing on XBOX One or on Windows Holographic.

=== Ways to Help ===

Gospel Library for Windows is developed and supported entirely by volunteers. In addition to your prayers, we are always looking for more hands to make our work lighter. If you can contribute your time as a tester, translator, or, especially, a programmer, please join [https://tech.lds.org/projects?controller=projects&view=project&Projectid=157 our project here on LDS Tech]. We'd love to discuss the project with you in our weekly meetings.

However, we are prioritizing features that are already available in the current non-beta version of Gospel Library, like the help guide and interface languages as well as critical new features, like access to role-based content, like Handbook 1.

== Answers to Frequently Asked Questions ==

=== 1. When will _____ be available in the new app? ===

As noted above, because Gospel Library for Windows is developed entirely by volunteers, we don't give time frames for upcoming or new features. We are, however, conscious of the fact that Gospel Library for Windows lacks some features that are available on Gospel Library for iOS and Gospel Library for Android and are working diligently to close the feature gap between our app and theirs.

=== 2. Why did you get rid of _____ feature? ===

Chances are, it's not something we're getting rid of, but something that we still need to bring back. Popular features like sheet music and media settings like Continuous Play, custom playback speeds, and Read Along are planned to make their return soon. We intend to bring as many features from Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 to Gospel Library for Windows 10 as quickly as we can. Only one feature will not be returning to Gospel Library for Windows 10: the Inspirational Messages feature.

=== 3. Have you abandoned the Windows 8.1 version of the app? ===

No, but our focus is on Gospel Library for Windows 10. At least for now, the only future updates to Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 will be for critical bug fixes. We simply don't have the resources to develop both versions of the app, and Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 relies on an older content source that may not be around much longer. Because Gospel Library for Windows 10 uses the same new content source used by Gospel Library 4 on iOS and Android, we feel our efforts are best spent on it.

ToManyLetters: /* Features New to Gospel Library for Windows 10 */

== Gospel Library for Windows 10 Beta ==

Our volunteer team has been hard at work developing a new version of Gospel Library designed for Windows 10, based on feedback from our users. Right now, Gospel Library for Windows 10 is in a public beta stage, and we invite all who are willing to help us test and debug the new application to join us by downloading and installing the beta from the Windows Store. Keep in mind that this beta is a genuine beta, and has a number of bugs, both known and unknown. Features may be missing, incomplete, or buggy. If you'd prefer a more stable experience, you can download, install, and use the non-beta version of the application via the Windows Store [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/gospel-library/9wzdncrfj2k4 here].

[https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/gospel-library-beta/9wzdncrdfdcd Download Gospel Library Beta from the Windows Store]

=== How to Give Feedback ===

We maintain a public list of known issues with the beta that you can review [[Gospel_Library_for_Windows_Beta_Issues|here]]. It is helpful if you review this list before submitting feedback as it will help us cut-down on redundant feedback. Any issues needing further information will have a note encouraging users experiencing these issues to send any additional information they can provide for our developers. If you have a new issue--or aren't sure whether your issue is new or not--send an email to via the link in the application (Settings > About > Send Feedback). For feature requests, please visit [https://ldswin.uservoice.com/ our UserVoice page]. When sending error logs, please describe what you were doing when the error occurred--and be as specific as possible. The more information we have about an error, the easier it will be for us to reproduce the issue so that we can correct the error. Please also know that features in the current non-beta application, like the sheet music and tabs features, are planned for this new version of the app as well. These features will be added in as the beta progresses.

=== An Important Note About Our Beta Test ===

We are currently focused on the app as it functions on desktops, laptops, 2-in-1s, and tablets running the Windows 10 Anniversary Update or newer. '''We are not taking any feedback concerning the application on Windows 10 Mobile at this time''' as the app, though available for phone users, is not ready for testing on phones. We are also not yet testing on XBOX One or on Windows Holographic.

=== Ways to Help ===

Gospel Library for Windows is developed and supported entirely by volunteers. In addition to your prayers, we are always looking for more hands to make our work lighter. If you can contribute your time as a tester, translator, or, especially, a programmer, please join [https://tech.lds.org/projects?controller=projects&view=project&Projectid=157 our project here on LDS Tech]. We'd love to discuss the project with you in our weekly meetings.

== Features New to Gospel Library for Windows 10 ==

'''Tags''' - Gospel Library for Windows now supports tags! You can add a tag by going to the Annotations ribbon, clicking the tag icon, and adding as many tags as you like! You can also add a tag to any note when editing your note, or when you first create your note.

'''Links''' - You can add a link in Gospel Library for Windows by selecting text you'd like to link, then clicking the Link button in the Annotations ribbon. Then, navigate to where you'd like to link, and select it. Chose the "Link to <PLACE>" option in the ribbon. Your link is now created!

'''Editing Highlights and Underlines''' - It's now possible and easy to edit the color, style, and size of your highlights and underlines. Select text with the highlight you'd like to edit, then press the hint bubble to bring up the context menu. If only one highlight is in the selection, you will see it appear with options in the context menu. If there are more than one, a Multiple Highlights option will appear to allow you to select the marking you want to edit.

'''Download All''' and '''Download Section''' - Windows now allows you to download all of the books in your current language in Gospel Library with only a few clicks instead of a few thousand! To download a section, right click (or long press) on its cover on the home page, then click "Download Section." To use Download All, press the more button (it looks like three dots) on the right side of the Home ribbon and click "Download All".

'''Notebooks''' - Gospel Library for Windows now also allows you to create notebooks, view content in your notebooks, and add annotations to existing notebooks via the new annotations pane!

'''Tabs at the Top''' - The tabs feature has become distinctly more tab-like, allowing you to make use of browser-like tabs to quickly and easily flip between open pages of Gospel Content.

'''Multi-Window Support''' - You can now have as many Gospel Library windows open at a time as you need so that you can be more flexible in your studies.

'''Immersive Mode''' - With a double tap or double click, you can send the interface away, giving you extra reading space and allowing you to focus on what you're reading.

'''Breadcrumbs''' - The new omnibox in Gospel Library for Windows breadcrumbs your trail for you, allowing you to step back through any part of your library journey instantly. Further, you can use the arrows next to each part of the breadcrumbs to jump into a different part of the library quickly. You can also use the omnibox as a quick search to find whatever book or chapter you're looking for.

'''Custom Themes''' - We now have a host of custom themes at your disposal in the settings menu. In addition to being able to match your system accent color, you can select a color from a list of fifty colors to customize the look of the application.

'''No more confusing radial menu''' - We listened to your complaints about the radial menu, the circle many people dreaded and too few people were able to figure out. In its place are the new ribbons and, now in development, a shiny new context menu to allow you to get marking faster than ever before!

'''New Content Source''' - This new version of Gospel Library for Windows consumes a new source for its content, meaning it will always have the exact same content as the iOS and Android versions of Gospel Library (formerly, we shared content with just Android.) This also means that limitations caused by older content, like not being able to mark bulleted or numbered lists, content in tables, and other miscellaneous content, no longer exist. You can mark it all!

'''Rich Note Formatting''' - Gospel Library for Windows now also includes a new note editor that provides the ability for you to use bold and italics formatting, as well as bulleted and numbered lists in your notes. Further, you can now include extra spaces between paragraphs to your heart's content. That same note editor offers the ability to add tags and include your notes in any notebook or notebooks of your choosing.

'''Journal Entries''' - You can now create a new journal entry from Journals section of the Annotations pane and write your spiritual impressions as they come to you, no matter what you're studying.

'''Printing''' - Basic printing is now available in the application. You can print the content of a chapter or article by pressing the more (...) menu on the right side of the Home ribbon and clicking "Print". At this time, notes, highlights, and other annotations are not printed by the application.

'''Highlight Color Sets''' - You can now chose from one of six different sets of highlight colors so that your highlights and underlines appear in a way that is most helpful for you--whether brighter or softer.

=== Currently in Development ===

'''Role-Based Content''' - Work has begun to make it possible for users of the app that need access to calling-specific content, like Handbook 1, to be able to do so.

'''Help Guide''' - A brand new help guide is being written and prepared for Gospel Library for Windows 10 that offers help on each of the features of the application and offers tips on how to best take advantage of the tools Gospel Library for Windows 10 offers.

'''Interface Languages''' - We have recently started the process of translating the interface into five key languages for the application: Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, and German. Ideally, we'd like to make the application available in every language currently available in Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 before we leave beta.

Only one feature will not be returning to Gospel Library for Windows 10: the Inspirational Messages feature.

=== 3. Have you abandoned the Windows 8.1 version of the app? ===

No, but our focus is on Gospel Library for Windows 10. At least for now, the only future updates to Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 will be for critical bug fixes. We simply don't have the resources to develop both versions of the app, and Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 relies on an older content source that may not be around much longer.

For feature requests, please visit [https://ldswin.uservoice.com/ our UserVoice page]. When sending error logs, please describe what you were doing when the error occurred--and be as specific as possible. The more information we have about an error, the easier it will be for us to reproduce the issue so that we can correct the error. Please also know that features in the current non-beta application, like the sheet music and tabs features, are planned for this new version of the app as well. These features will be added in as the beta progresses.

=== An Important Note About Our Beta Test ===

We are currently focused on the app as it functions on desktops, laptops, 2-in-1s, and tablets running the Windows 10 Anniversary Update or newer. '''We are not taking any feedback concerning the application on Windows 10 Mobile at this time''' as the app, though available for phone users, is not ready for testing on phones. We are also not yet testing on XBOX One or on Windows Holographic.

=== Ways to Help ===

Gospel Library for Windows is developed and supported entirely by volunteers. In addition to your prayers, we are always looking for more hands to make our work lighter. If you can contribute your time as a tester, translator, or, especially, a programmer, please join [https://tech.lds.org/projects?controller=projects&view=project&Projectid=157 our project here on LDS Tech]. We'd love to discuss the project with you in our weekly meetings.

== Features New to Gospel Library for Windows 10 ==

'''Tags''' - Gospel Library for Windows now supports tags! You can add a tag by going to the Annotations ribbon, clicking the tag icon, and adding as many tags as you like! You can also add a tag to any note when editing your note, or when you first create your note.

'''Links''' - You can add a link in Gospel Library for Windows by selecting text you'd like to link, then clicking the Link button in the Annotations ribbon. Then, navigate to where you'd like to link, and select it. Chose the "Link to <PLACE>" option in the ribbon. Your link is now created!

'''Editing Highlights and Underlines''' - It's now possible and easy to edit the color, style, and size of your highlights and underlines. Select text with the highlight you'd like to edit, then press the hint bubble to bring up the context menu. If only one highlight is in the selection, you will see it appear with options in the context menu. If there are more than one, a Multiple Highlights option will appear to allow you to select the marking you want to edit.

'''Download All''' and '''Download Section''' - Windows now allows you to download all of the books in your current language in Gospel Library with only a few clicks instead of a few thousand! To download a section, right click (or long press) on its cover on the home page, then click "Download Section." To use Download All, press the more button (it looks like three dots) on the right side of the Home ribbon and click "Download All".

'''Notebooks''' - Gospel Library for Windows now also allows you to create notebooks, view content in your notebooks, and add annotations to existing notebooks via the new annotations pane!

'''Tabs at the Top''' - The tabs feature has become distinctly more tab-like, allowing you to make use of browser-like tabs to quickly and easily flip between open pages of Gospel Content.

'''Multi-Window Support''' - You can now have as many Gospel Library windows open at a time as you need, so that you can be more flexible in your studies.

'''Breadcrumbs''' - The new omnibox in Gospel Library for Windows breadcrumbs your trail for you, allowing you to step back through any part of your library journey instantly. Further, you can use the arrows next to each part of the breadcrumbs to jump into a different part of the library quickly. You can also use the omnibox as a quick search to find whatever book or chapter you're looking for.

'''Custom Themes''' - We now have a host of custom themes at your disposal in the settings menu. In addition to being able to match your system accent color, you can select a color from a list of fifty colors to customize the look of the application.

'''No more confusing radial menu''' - We listened to your complaints about the radial menu, the circle many people dreaded and too few people were able to figure out. In its place are the new ribbons and, now in development, a shiny new context menu to allow you to get marking faster than ever before!

'''New Content Source''' - This new version of Gospel Library for Windows consumes a new source for its content, meaning it will always have the exact same content as the iOS and Android versions of Gospel Library (formerly, we shared content with just Android.) This also means that limitations caused by older content, like not being able to mark bulleted or numbered lists, content in tables, and other miscellaneous content, no longer exist. You can mark it all!

'''Rich Note Formatting''' - Gospel Library for Windows now also includes a new note editor that provides the ability for you to use bold and italics formatting, as well as bulleted and numbered lists in your notes. Further, you can now include extra spaces between paragraphs to your heart's content. That same note editor offers the ability to add tags and include your notes in any notebook or notebooks of your choosing.

'''Journal Entries''' - You can now create a new journal entry from Journals section of the Annotations pane and write your spiritual impressions as they come to you, no matter what you're studying.

'''Printing''' - Basic printing is now available in the application. You can print the content of a chapter or article by pressing the more (...) menu on the right side of the Home ribbon and clicking "Print". At this time, notes, highlights, and other annotations are not printed by the application.

'''Highlight Color Sets''' - You can now chose from one of six different sets of highlight colors so that your highlights and underlines appear in a way that is most helpful for you--whether brighter or softer.

=== Currently in Development ===

'''Role-Based Content''' - Work has begun to make it possible for users of the app that need access to calling-specific content, like Handbook 1, to be able to do so.

'''Help Guide''' - A brand new help guide is being written and prepared for Gospel Library for Windows 10 that offers help on each of the features of the application and offers tips on how to best take advantage of the tools Gospel Library for Windows 10 offers.

'''Interface Languages''' - We have recently started the process of translating the interface into five key languages for the application: Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, and German. Ideally, we'd like to make the application available in every language currently available in Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 before we leave beta.

=== Our Priorities ===

As Gospel Library for Windows is developed entirely by volunteers, we don't give time frames for upcoming or new features. However, we are prioritizing features that are already available in the current non-beta version of Gospel Library, like tabs, the help guide, and interface languages as well as critical new features, like access to calling-specific content, like Handbook 1.

== Answers to Frequently Asked Questions ==

=== 1. When will _____ be available in the new app? ===

As noted above, because Gospel Library for Windows is developed entirely by volunteers, we don't give time frames for upcoming or new features. We are, however, conscious of the fact that Gospel Library for Windows lacks some features that are available on Gospel Library for iOS and Gospel Library for Android and are working diligently to close the feature gap between our app and theirs.

=== 2. Why did you get rid of _____ feature? ===

Chances are, it's not something we're getting rid of, but something that we still need to bring back. Popular features like tabs, sheet music, and media settings like Continuous Play, custom playback speeds, and Read Along are planned to make their return soon. We intend to bring as many features from Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 to Gospel Library for Windows 10 as quickly as we can. Only one feature will not be returning to Gospel Library for Windows 10: the Inspirational Messages feature.

=== 3. Have you abandoned the Windows 8.1 version of the app? ===

No, but our focus is on Gospel Library for Windows 10. At least for now, the only future updates to Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 will be for critical bug fixes. We simply don't have the resources to develop both versions of the app, and Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 relies on an older content source that may not be around much longer. Because Gospel Library for Windows 10 uses the same new content source used by Gospel Library 4 on iOS and Android, we feel our efforts are best spent on it.

== Gospel Library for Windows 10 Beta ==

Our volunteer team has been hard at work developing a new version of Gospel Library designed for Windows 10, based on feedback from our users. Right now, Gospel Library for Windows 10 is in a public beta stage, and we invite all who are willing to help us test and debug the new application to join us by downloading and installing the beta from the Windows Store. Keep in mind that this beta is a genuine beta, and has a number of bugs, both known and unknown. Features may be missing, incomplete, or buggy.

'''No more confusing radial menu''' - We listened to your complaints about the radial menu, the circle many people dreaded and too few people were able to figure out. In its place are the new ribbons and, now in development, a shiny new context menu to allow you to get marking faster than ever before!

'''New Content Source''' - This new version of Gospel Library for Windows consumes a new source for its content, meaning it will always have the exact same content as the iOS and Android versions of Gospel Library (formerly, we shared content with just Android.) This also means that limitations caused by older content, like not being able to mark bulleted or numbered lists, content in tables, and other miscellaneous content, no longer exist. You can mark it all!

'''Rich Note Formatting''' - Gospel Library for Windows now also includes a new note editor that provides the ability for you to use bold and italics formatting, as well as bulleted and numbered lists in your notes. Further, you can now include extra spaces between paragraphs to your heart's content. That same note editor offers the ability to add tags and include your notes in any notebook or notebooks of your choosing.

'''Journal Entries''' - You can now create a new journal entry from Journals section of the Annotations pane and write your spiritual impressions as they come to you, no matter what you're studying.

'''Printing''' - Basic printing is now available in the application. You can print the content of a chapter or article by pressing the more (...) menu on the right side of the Home ribbon and clicking "Print". At this time, notes, highlights, and other annotations are not printed by the application.

'''Highlight Color Sets''' - You can now chose from one of six different sets of highlight colors so that your highlights and underlines appear in a way that is most helpful for you--whether brighter or softer.

=== Currently in Development ===

'''Context Menu''' - Our replacement for the old radial menu made its debut in the application with the release of beta 3.0.27.0. While the feature is still incomplete, you can glimpse its potential and mark faster with the new 'recent markings' feature at the top of the context menu.

'''Tabs''' - The tabs feature has made its return to the app as of the 3.1.0.0 update. We have some new and exciting things coming for tabs in the near future.

'''Multi-Window Support''' - In addition to tabs, work has been started on the ability to have multiple Gospel Library windows open at a time, allowing you more flexibility in your studies.

'''Role-Based Content''' - Work has begun to make it possible for users of the app that need access to calling-specific content, like Handbook 1, to be able to do so.

'''Help Guide''' - A brand new help guide is being written and prepared for Gospel Library for Windows 10 that offers help on each of the features of the application and offers tips on how to best take advantage of the tools Gospel Library for Windows 10 offers.

'''Interface Languages''' - We have recently started the process of translating the interface into five key languages for the application: Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, and German. Ideally, we'd like to make the application available in every language currently available in Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 before we leave beta.

=== Our Priorities ===

As Gospel Library for Windows is developed entirely by volunteers, we don't give time frames for upcoming or new features. However, we are prioritizing features that are already available in the current non-beta version of Gospel Library, like tabs, the help guide, and interface languages as well as critical new features, like access to calling-specific content, like Handbook 1.

== Answers to Frequently Asked Questions ==

=== 1. When will _____ be available in the new app? ===

As noted above, because Gospel Library for Windows is developed entirely by volunteers, we don't give time frames for upcoming or new features. We are, however, conscious of the fact that Gospel Library for Windows lacks some features that are available on Gospel Library for iOS and Gospel Library for Android and are working diligently to close the feature gap between our app and theirs.

=== 2. Why did you get rid of _____ feature? ===

Chances are, it's not something we're getting rid of, but something that we still need to bring back. Popular features like tabs, sheet music, and media settings like Continuous Play, custom playback speeds, and Read Along are planned to make their return soon. We intend to bring as many features from Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 to Gospel Library for Windows 10 as quickly as we can. Only one feature will not be returning to Gospel Library for Windows 10: the Inspirational Messages feature.

=== 3. Have you abandoned the Windows 8.1 version of the app? ===

No, but our focus is on Gospel Library for Windows 10. At least for now, the only future updates to Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 will be for critical bug fixes. We simply don't have the resources to develop both versions of the app, and Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 relies on an older content source that may not be around much longer. Because Gospel Library for Windows 10 uses the same new content source used by Gospel Library 4 on iOS and Android, we feel our efforts are best spent on it.

ToManyLetters: New feature in development - Multi-Window Support

== Gospel Library for Windows 10 Beta ==

Our volunteer team has been hard at work developing a new version of Gospel Library designed for Windows 10, based on feedback from our users. Right now, Gospel Library for Windows 10 is in a public beta stage, and we invite all who are willing to help us test and debug the new application to join us by downloading and installing the beta from the Windows Store. Keep in mind that this beta is a genuine beta, and has a number of bugs, both known and unknown. Features may be missing, incomplete, or buggy. If you'd prefer a more stable experience, you can download, install, and use the non-beta version of the application via the Windows Store [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/gospel-library/9wzdncrfj2k4 here].

[https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/gospel-library-beta/9wzdncrdfdcd Download Gospel Library Beta from the Windows Store]

=== How to Give Feedback ===

We maintain a public list of known issues with the beta that you can review [[Gospel_Library_for_Windows_Beta_Issues|here]]. It is helpful if you review this list before submitting feedback as it will help us cut-down on redundant feedback. Any issues needing further information will have a note encouraging users experiencing these issues to send any additional information they can provide for our developers. If you have a new issue--or aren't sure whether your issue is new or not--send an email to via the link in the application (Settings > About > Send Feedback). For feature requests, please visit [https://ldswin.uservoice.com/ our UserVoice page]. When sending error logs, please describe what you were doing when the error occurred--and be as specific as possible. The more information we have about an error, the easier it will be for us to reproduce the issue so that we can correct the error. Please also know that features in the current non-beta application, like the sheet music and tabs features, are planned for this new version of the app as well. These features will be added in as the beta progresses.

=== An Important Note About Our Beta Test ===

We are currently focused on the app as it functions on desktops, laptops, 2-in-1s, and tablets running the Windows 10 Anniversary Update or newer. '''We are not taking any feedback concerning the application on Windows 10 Mobile at this time''' as the app, though available for phone users, is not ready for testing on phones. We are also not yet testing on XBOX One or on Windows Holographic.

=== Ways to Help ===

Gospel Library for Windows is developed and supported entirely by volunteers. In addition to your prayers, we are always looking for more hands to make our work lighter. If you can contribute your time as a tester, translator, or, especially, a programmer, please join [https://tech.lds.org/projects?controller=projects&view=project&Projectid=157 our project here on LDS Tech]. We'd love to discuss the project with you in our weekly meetings.

As Gospel Library for Windows is developed entirely by volunteers, we don't give time frames for upcoming or new features. However, we are prioritizing features that are already available in the current non-beta version of Gospel Library, like tabs, the help guide, and interface languages as well as critical new features, like access to calling-specific content, like Handbook 1.

== Answers to Frequently Asked Questions ==

=== 1. When will _____ be available in the new app? ===

As noted above, because Gospel Library for Windows is developed entirely by volunteers, we don't give time frames for upcoming or new features. We are, however, conscious of the fact that Gospel Library for Windows lacks some features that are available on Gospel Library for iOS and Gospel Library for Android and are working diligently to close the feature gap between our app and theirs.

=== 2. Why did you get rid of _____ feature? ===

Chances are, it's not something we're getting rid of, but something that we still need to bring back. Popular features like tabs, sheet music, and media settings like Continuous Play, custom playback speeds, and Read Along are planned to make their return soon. We intend to bring as many features from Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 to Gospel Library for Windows 10 as quickly as we can. Only one feature will not be returning to Gospel Library for Windows 10: the Inspirational Messages feature.

=== 3. Have you abandoned the Windows 8.1 version of the app? ===

No, but our focus is on Gospel Library for Windows 10. At least for now, the only future updates to Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 will be for critical bug fixes. We simply don't have the resources to develop both versions of the app, and Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 relies on an older content source that may not be around much longer. Because Gospel Library for Windows 10 uses the same new content source used by Gospel Library 4 on iOS and Android, we feel our efforts are best spent on it.

== Gospel Library for Windows 10 Beta ==

Our volunteer team has been hard at work developing a new version of Gospel Library designed for Windows 10, based on feedback from our users. Right now, Gospel Library for Windows 10 is in a public beta stage, and we invite all who are willing to help us test and debug the new application to join us by downloading and installing the beta from the Windows Store. Keep in mind that this beta is a genuine beta, and has a number of bugs, both known and unknown. Features may be missing, incomplete, or buggy. If you'd prefer a more stable experience, you can download, install, and use the non-beta version of the application via the Windows Store [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/gospel-library/9wzdncrfj2k4 here].

[https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/gospel-library-beta/9wzdncrdfdcd Download Gospel Library Beta from the Windows Store]

=== How to Give Feedback ===

We maintain a public list of known issues with the beta that you can review [[Gospel_Library_for_Windows_Beta_Issues|here]]. It is helpful if you review this list before submitting feedback as it will help us cut-down on redundant feedback. Any issues needing further information will have a note encouraging users experiencing these issues to send any additional information they can provide for our developers. If you have a new issue--or aren't sure whether your issue is new or not--send an email to via the link in the application (Settings > About > Send Feedback). For feature requests, please visit [https://ldswin.uservoice.com/ our UserVoice page]. When sending error logs, please describe what you were doing when the error occurred--and be as specific as possible. The more information we have about an error, the easier it will be for us to reproduce the issue so that we can correct the error. Please also know that features in the current non-beta application, like the sheet music and tabs features, are planned for this new version of the app as well. These features will be added in as the beta progresses.

=== An Important Note About Our Beta Test ===

We are currently focused on the app as it functions on desktops, laptops, 2-in-1s, and tablets running the Windows 10 Anniversary Update or newer. '''We are not taking any feedback concerning the application on Windows 10 Mobile at this time''' as the app, though available for phone users, is not ready for testing on phones. We are also not yet testing on XBOX One or on Windows Holographic.

=== Ways to Help ===

Gospel Library for Windows is developed and supported entirely by volunteers. In addition to your prayers, we are always looking for more hands to make our work lighter. If you can contribute your time as a tester, translator, or, especially, a programmer, please join [https://tech.lds.org/projects?controller=projects&view=project&Projectid=157 our project here on LDS Tech]. We'd love to discuss the project with you in our weekly meetings.

== Features New to Gospel Library for Windows 10 ==

'''Tags''' - Gospel Library for Windows now supports tags! You can add a tag by going to the Annotations ribbon, clicking the tag icon, and adding as many tags as you like! You can also add a tag to any note when editing your note, or when you first create your note.

'''Links''' - You can add a link in Gospel Library for Windows by selecting text you'd like to link, then clicking the Link button in the Annotations ribbon. Then, navigate to where you'd like to link, and select it. Chose the "Link to <PLACE>" option in the ribbon. Your link is now created!

'''Editing Highlights and Underlines''' - It's now possible and easy to edit the color, style, and size of your highlights and underlines. Select text with the highlight you'd like to edit, then press the hint bubble to bring up the context menu. If only one highlight is in the selection, you will see it appear with options in the context menu. If there are more than one, a Multiple Highlights option will appear to allow you to select the marking you want to edit.

'''Download All''' and '''Download Section''' - Windows now allows you to download all of the books in your current language in Gospel Library with only a few clicks instead of a few thousand! To download a section, right click (or long press) on its cover on the home page, then click "Download Section." To use Download All, press the more button (it looks like three dots) on the right side of the Home ribbon and click "Download All".

'''Notebooks''' - Gospel Library for Windows now also allows you to create notebooks, view content in your notebooks, and add annotations to existing notebooks via the new annotations pane!

'''Breadcrumbs''' - The new omnibox in Gospel Library for Windows breadcrumbs your trail for you, allowing you to step back through any part of your library journey instantly. Further, you can use the arrows next to each part of the breadcrumbs to jump into a different part of the library quickly. You can also use the omnibox as a quick search to find whatever book or chapter you're looking for.

'''Custom Themes''' - We now have a host of custom themes at your disposal in the settings menu. In addition to being able to match your system accent color, you can select a color from a list of fifty colors to customize the look of the application.

'''No more confusing radial menu''' - We listened to your complaints about the radial menu, the circle many people dreaded and too few people were able to figure out. In its place are the new ribbons and, now in development, a shiny new context menu to allow you to get marking faster than ever before!

'''New Content Source''' - This new version of Gospel Library for Windows consumes a new source for its content, meaning it will always have the exact same content as the iOS and Android versions of Gospel Library (formerly, we shared content with just Android.) This also means that limitations caused by older content, like not being able to mark bulleted or numbered lists, content in tables, and other miscellaneous content, no longer exist. You can mark it all!

'''Rich Note Formatting''' - Gospel Library for Windows now also includes a new note editor that provides the ability for you to use bold and italics formatting, as well as bulleted and numbered lists in your notes. Further, you can now include extra spaces between paragraphs to your heart's content. That same note editor offers the ability to add tags and include your notes in any notebook or notebooks of your choosing.

'''Journal Entries''' - You can now create a new journal entry from Journals section of the Annotations pane and write your spiritual impressions as they come to you, no matter what you're studying.

'''Printing''' - Basic printing is now available in the application. You can print the content of a chapter or article by pressing the more (...) menu on the right side of the Home ribbon and clicking "Print". At this time, notes, highlights, and other annotations are not printed by the application.

'''Highlight Color Sets''' - You can now chose from one of six different sets of highlight colors so that your highlights and underlines appear in a way that is most helpful for you--whether brighter or softer.

=== Currently in Development ===

'''Context Menu''' - Our replacement for the old radial menu made its debut in the application with the release of beta 3.0.27.0. While the feature is still incomplete, you can glimpse its potential and mark faster with the new 'recent markings' feature at the top of the context menu.

'''Tabs''' - A popular feature in Gospel Library for Windows 8.1, we're working quickly to bring the feature back for this new version of Gospel Library.

'''Role-Based Content''' - Work has begun to make it possible for users of the app that need access to calling-specific content, like Handbook 1, to be able to do so.

'''Help Guide''' - A brand new help guide is being written and prepared for Gospel Library for Windows 10 that offers help on each of the features of the application and offers tips on how to best take advantage of the tools Gospel Library for Windows 10 offers.

'''Interface Languages''' - We have recently started the process of translating the interface into five key languages for the application: Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, and German. Ideally, we'd like to make the application available in every language currently available in Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 before we leave beta.

Retrofitting the old app with the ability to handle the new content source is not feasible.

It is helpful if you review this list before submitting feedback as it will help us cut-down on redundant feedback. Any issues needing further information will have a note encouraging users experiencing these issues to send any additional information they can provide for our developers. If you have a new issue--or aren't sure whether your issue is new or not--send an email to via the link in the application (Settings > About > Send Feedback). For feature requests, please visit [https://ldswin.uservoice.com/ our UserVoice page]. When sending error logs, please describe what you were doing when the error occurred--and be as specific as possible. The more information we have about an error, the easier it will be for us to reproduce the issue so that we can correct the error. Please also know that features in the current non-beta application, like the sheet music and tabs features, are planned for this new version of the app as well. These features will be added in as the beta progresses.

=== An Important Note About Our Beta Test ===

We are currently focused on the app as it functions on desktops, laptops, 2-in-1s, and tablets running the Windows 10 Anniversary Update or newer. '''We are not taking any feedback concerning the application on Windows 10 Mobile at this time''' as the app, though available for phone users, is not ready for testing on phones. We are also not yet testing on XBOX One or on Windows Holographic.

=== Ways to Help ===

Gospel Library for Windows is developed and supported entirely by volunteers. In addition to your prayers, we are always looking for more hands to make our work lighter. If you can contribute your time as a tester, translator, or, especially, a programmer, please join [https://tech.lds.org/projects?controller=projects&view=project&Projectid=157 our project here on LDS Tech]. We'd love to discuss the project with you in our weekly meetings.

== Features New to Gospel Library for Windows 10 ==

'''Tags''' - Gospel Library for Windows now supports tags! You can add a tag by going to the Annotations ribbon, clicking the tag icon, and adding as many tags as you like! You can also add a tag to any note when editing your note, or when you first create your note.

'''Links''' - You can add a link in Gospel Library for Windows by selecting text you'd like to link, then clicking the Link button in the Annotations ribbon. Then, navigate to where you'd like to link, and select it. Chose the "Link to <PLACE>" option in the ribbon. Your link is now created!

'''Editing Highlights and Underlines''' - It's now possible and easy to edit the color, style, and size of your highlights and underlines. Select text with the highlight you'd like to edit, then press the hint bubble to bring up the context menu. If only one highlight is in the selection, you will see it appear with options in the context menu. If there are more than one, a Multiple Highlights option will appear to allow you to select the marking you want to edit.

'''Download All''' and '''Download Section''' - Windows now allows you to download all of the books in your current language in Gospel Library with only a few clicks instead of a few thousand! To download a section, right click (or long press) on its cover on the home page, then click "Download Section." To use Download All, press the more button (it looks like three dots) on the right side of the Home ribbon and click "Download All".

'''Notebooks''' - Gospel Library for Windows now also allows you to create notebooks, view content in your notebooks, and add annotations to existing notebooks via the new annotations pane!

'''Breadcrumbs''' - The new omnibox in Gospel Library for Windows breadcrumbs your trail for you, allowing you to step back through any part of your library journey instantly. Further, you can use the arrows next to each part of the breadcrumbs to jump into a different part of the library quickly. You can also use the omnibox as a quick search to find whatever book or chapter you're looking for.

'''Custom Themes''' - We now have a host of custom themes at your disposal in the settings menu. In addition to being able to match your system accent color, you can select a color from a list of fifty colors to customize the look of the application.

'''No more confusing radial menu''' - We listened to your complaints about the radial menu, the circle many people dreaded and too few people were able to figure out. In its place are the new ribbons and, now in development, a shiny new context menu to allow you to get marking faster than ever before!

'''New Content Source''' - This new version of Gospel Library for Windows consumes a new source for its content, meaning it will always have the exact same content as the iOS and Android versions of Gospel Library (formerly, we shared content with just Android.) This also means that limitations caused by older content, like not being able to mark bulleted or numbered lists, content in tables, and other miscellaneous content, no longer exist. You can mark it all!

'''Rich Note Formatting''' - Gospel Library for Windows now also includes a new note editor that provides the ability for you to use bold and italics formatting, as well as bulleted and numbered lists in your notes. Further, you can now include extra spaces between paragraphs to your heart's content. That same note editor offers the ability to add tags and include your notes in any notebook or notebooks of your choosing.

'''Journal Entries''' - You can now create a new journal entry from Journals section of the Annotations pane and write your spiritual impressions as they come to you, no matter what you're studying.

'''Printing''' - Basic printing is now available in the application. You can print the content of a chapter or article by pressing the more (...) menu on the right side of the Home ribbon and clicking "Print". At this time, notes, highlights, and other annotations are not printed by the application.

=== Currently in Development ===

'''Context Menu''' - Our replacement for the old radial menu made its debut in the application with the release of beta 3.0.27.0. While the feature is still incomplete, you can glimpse its potential and mark faster with the new 'recent markings' feature at the top of the context menu.

'''Tabs''' - A popular feature in Gospel Library for Windows 8.1, we're working quickly to bring the feature back for this new version of Gospel Library.

'''Calling-Restricted Content''' - Work has begun to make it possible for users of the app that need access to calling-restricted content, like Handbook 1, to do so.

'''Help Guide''' - A brand new help guide is being written and prepared for Gospel Library for Windows 10 that offers help on each of the features of the application and offers tips on how to best take advantage of the tools Gospel Library for Windows 10 offers.

'''Interface Languages''' - We have recently started the process of translating the interface into five key languages for the application: Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, and German. Ideally, we'd like to make the application available in every language currently available in Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 before we leave beta.

=== Our Priorities ===

As Gospel Library for Windows is developed entirely by volunteers, we don't give time frames for upcoming or new features. However, we are prioritizing features that are already available in the current non-beta version of Gospel Library, like tabs, the help guide, and interface languages as well as critical new features, like access to calling-specific content, like Handbook 1.

== Answers to Frequently Asked Questions ==

=== 1. When will _____ be available in the new app? ===

As noted above, because Gospel Library for Windows is developed entirely by volunteers, we don't give time frames for upcoming or new features. We are, however, conscious of the fact that Gospel Library for Windows lacks some features that are available on Gospel Library for iOS and Gospel Library for Android and are working diligently to close the feature gap between our app and theirs.

=== 2. Why did you get rid of _____ feature? ===

Chances are, it's not something we're getting rid of, but something that we still need to bring back. Popular features like tabs, sheet music, and media settings like Continuous Play, custom playback speeds, and Read Along are planned to make their return soon. We intend to bring as many features from Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 to Gospel Library for Windows 10 as quickly as we can. Only one feature will not be returning to Gospel Library for Windows 10: the Inspirational Messages feature.

=== 3. Have you abandoned the Windows 8.1 version of the app? ===

No, but our focus is on Gospel Library for Windows 10. At least for now, the only future updates to Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 will be for critical bug fixes. We simply don't have the resources to develop both versions of the app, and Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 relies on an older content source that may not be around much longer. Because Gospel Library for Windows 10 uses the same new content source used by Gospel Library 4 on iOS and Android, we feel our efforts are best spent on it. Retrofitting the old app with the ability to handle the new content source is not feasible.

'''Journal Entries''' - You can now create a new journal entry from Journals section of the Annotations pane and write your spiritual impressions as they come to you, no matter what you're studying.

=== Currently in Development ===

'''Context Menu''' - Our replacement for the old radial menu made its debut in the application with the release of beta 3.0.27.0. While the feature is still incomplete, you can glimpse its potential and mark faster with the new 'recent markings' feature at the top of the context menu.

'''Tabs''' - A popular feature in Gospel Library for Windows 8.1, we're working quickly to bring the feature back for this new version of Gospel Library.

'''Interface Languages''' - We have recently started the process of translating the interface into five key languages for the application: Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, and German. Ideally, we'd like to make the application available in every language currently available in Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 before we leave beta.

=== Our Priorities ===

As Gospel Library for Windows is developed entirely by volunteers, we don't give time frames for upcoming or new features. However, we are prioritizing features that are already available in the current non-beta version of Gospel Library, like tabs, the help guide, and interface languages as well as critical new features, like access to calling-specific content, like Handbook 1.

== Answers to Frequently Asked Questions ==

=== 1. When will _____ be available in the new app? ===

As noted above, because Gospel Library for Windows is developed entirely by volunteers, we don't give time frames for upcoming or new features. We are, however, conscious of the fact that Gospel Library for Windows lacks some features that are available on Gospel Library for iOS and Gospel Library for Android and are working diligently to close the feature gap between our app and theirs.

=== 2. Why did you get rid of _____ feature? ===

Chances are, it's not something we're getting rid of, but something that we still need to bring back. Popular features like tabs, sheet music, and media settings like Continuous Play, custom playback speeds, and Read Along are planned to make their return soon. We intend to bring as many features from Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 to Gospel Library for Windows 10 as quickly as we can.

=== 3. Have you abandoned the Windows 8.1 version of the app? ===

No, but our focus is on Gospel Library for Windows 10. At least for now, the only future updates to Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 will be for critical bug fixes. We simply don't have the resources to develop both versions of the app, and Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 relies on an older content source that may not be around much longer. Because Gospel Library for Windows 10 uses the same new content source used by Gospel Library 4 on iOS and Android, we feel our efforts are best spent on it. Retrofitting the old app with the ability to handle the new content source is not feasible.
