Study Plans Feature in the Gospel Library App
You can use the Study Plans feature in the Gospel Library app to set up a schedule and reminders for reading the Book of Mormon. This feature works whether you want to study the scriptures, conference talks, or other content in the Gospel Library. The Study Plans feature automatically calculates how much you need to read each day to meet your goal by the date you set. And if you miss a day or two, don’t worry. The study plan can be recalculated so you can still accomplish your goal. And you can create multiple study plans and each one helps you easily continue from where you left off.
Two new study plans have been created in the Home section of the Gospel Library app to help with your study of the Book of Mormon this year.
- Book of Mormon Using Come, Follow Me. Track your progress throughout 2024 as Church members study the Book of Mormon together using Come, Follow Me.
- Book of Mormon Seminary Readings. The plan contains the required Book of Mormon seminary readings for 2024.
Once you have created a plan, you can click the bell to turn on notification reminders to help you stay on track.
How to Create a Study Plan
Here are general instructions to set up a study plan. (Step-by-step instructions for Android and Apple iOS devices appear below.)
To create a study plan, open the Gospel Library app, select Study Plans from the Library menu, then select the content you wish to study. You then have the option of setting a schedule and adding a reminder.
- Select content. Choose from any of the hundreds of pieces of content in the Gospel Library app.
- Set a schedule. Setting a schedule will help you see how much to read to finish on time. Simply select “daily,” or click on the specific days you wish to study, add beginning and end dates, and indicate whether you want to allow chapters to be split.
- Add a reminder. Adding a reminder can help you stay on task. Just select the time you want to receive an on-screen reminder to study.
When you’re finished selecting options, your newly created study plan appears. When you click on the plan, each chapter, article, or section appears next to a check box, making it easy for you to track your progress.
