However, the example at the link you referenced seems to have its state changes inside a LOGBOOK property drawer. My state changes are not inside a drawer. See excerpt below. To change the state, say from TODO to READING, I use C-c C-t and then can choose one of my pre-specified states. Should I put my state changes in a LOGBOOK drawer? If so, how does that work? ** DONE Responsible Men :fiction:BUlibrary: - State "DONE" from "READING" [2018-11-18 Sun 23:17] - State "READING" from "TODO" [2018-11-04 Sun 23:17] :PROPERTIES: :AUTHORLNAME: Schwarzschild :AUTHORFNAME: Edward :ISBN: 156512409X :END: Thanks. --Chris Ryan Michael Welle wrote: > Hello, > > "Christopher W.
