Vault
Your private library of reusable stories and teaching concepts, plus the Sermon Atlas and scripture passages.
Your vault is your private library — the stories, illustrations, quotes, and teaching concepts you save once and reuse across sermons for years. Save a story the first time you tell it, tag it, and it's there for every future sermon.
Your vault is private to you. No one else in your organization — including owners — can see a story or concept unless you explicitly share it.

What's in your vault
The vault holds two kinds of items:
- Stories — reusable illustrations: a personal anecdote, an illustration, a joke, a quote, a statistic, a piece of history, or a testimony.
- Teaching concepts — reusable ideas and teaching points, including the raw note you first captured them from.
Add a story or concept
Tag it — its kind, the themes it touches, and any passages it connects to — so you can find it later.
You can also create a vault item without leaving the canvas — the slash menu's vault submenu lets you quick-create a story or concept while you're writing. See the canvas.
Find and reuse items
Search and filter your vault by kind, theme, or passage. To use an item in a sermon, insert it as a block on the canvas — the block links back to the vault item, so edits stay consistent everywhere you've used it.
Share an item
Sharing is per-item and deliberate. When you share a story or concept with someone, they get access to that item — never your whole vault.
