How can I see the history of resolved notes?

Question

As we discuss the appropriateness of certain terms, and sometimes term changes in notes, we would like to keep the history of these discussions accessible to the consultant. Is there a way of doing that, and if yes, how can it be done?

Answer 1

Consider using the new feature Biblical Terms discussion notes. The stay with the term and not individual verses. Below is a description from Paratext Help:

In Paratext 8.0 (and later), there are two types of notes that can be inserted for a Biblical Term:

          A Biblical Term rendering discussion note
          A Biblical Term rendering description
        
        A Biblical Term can only have one of each kind of note.
        It is not possible to see the presence of either kind of note in the project text.
        Biblical Term rendering discussion note (referred to below as "rendering discussion note")
        A rendering discussion note is the entire history leading to a decision regarding the rendering of a Biblical Term. It is designed for transient or ongoing issues.
        The purpose of a rendering discussion note is to record:
        
          Suggestions for the rendering of a Biblical Term.
          Uncertainty for areas where there is not certainty.
          A need for a decision regarding a single term to cover multiple senses, or for multiple terms to cover a single term.
          The fact that a specific Biblical Term needs more consideration with regard to its renderings.
          Why the existing rendering was chosen.
        
        A color-filled icon at the far left of the Biblical Terms tool, or at the far left of the Biblical Terms Renderings window, indicates the presence of a rendering discussion note.
        You can limit the Biblical Terms Renderings you see to those that have an unread or unresolved rendering discussion note. How do I see Biblical Term notes in my project?
        In the Biblical Terms tool or the Biblical Terms Renderings window, a hollow icon indicates that there has never been a rendering discussion note created for this term. A gray icon with a green tick mark indicates that a rendering discussion note was previously created for this term, but the discussion has been marked as resolved.
        It is possible to resolve rendering discussion notes. Once a note is resolved, users can view the discussion, but are not expected to add to it. If you unresolve a note for a term, the new discussion gets appended.
        The verse reference for the rendering discussion note will be the first occurrence of the term according to the Biblical Terms filter settings at the time the note was inserted.
        The rendering discussion note displays a summary of the Biblical Term, but does not display verse text.
         In Paratext 8.0 (and later), a check for Biblical Terms which have unresolved Rendering Discussion Notes can be included in a stage of project progress. How do I include a check in a stage of project progress?

anon532188,

I’m not sure if this is what you are asking, but all notes are kept
forever. When notes are resolved they can still be seeing by changing the
filter to show resolved notes or all notes. It is very useful to tag notes

• while using different icons can be helpful it is also very useful to use
  tags (#tags are good) inside of notes. This allows you to use the filters
  to look for notes with a particular hashtag.

With notes in the Biblical Terms tool that anon044949 mentioned you can also view
the resolved notes by “sorting” by the question mark at the top of the
column. This will put all of the resolved notes at the top or the bottom.

As an aside - because someone else was trying to do this. Using hashtags in
manual history points (Project > Mark Point in History) can be very useful
when trying to locate certain history points.
