Study Map: a private knowledge graph of your JW Library notes
Study Map turns your JW Library notes into an interactive web, linking them by shared scriptures, shared tags and similar wording — so you can see the themes running through your study.
Years of notes hold connections you've never seen: the same scripture cited across a dozen entries, a theme you keep returning to, ideas that echo each other in different publications. Study Map draws those links as an interactive graph, so the shape of your own study becomes visible.
Step by step
Open the Study Stats page and load a backup
Go to jwsync.org/highlights.html and load your .jwlibrary file. Study Map reads it in your browser.
Open Study Map
Launch the map to see your notes as connected points, linked by shared scriptures, shared tags and similar wording.
Explore the connections
Switch between Topics and Notes views, hover to spotlight a note's links, drag things around, and use the strength slider to show only the closest connections. Full-screen mode gives you room to roam.
Build and save study chains
Draw your own manual “study chains” between related notes to capture a line of reasoning, and export the map as a PNG image to keep or share.
What the map reveals
Clusters show the themes you study most; a scripture linked to many notes shows a verse you keep coming back to; an isolated note might be a thread worth developing. It's a way to study your study — and to prepare talks by following the connections you've already made.
Frequently asked questions
- Do I need a lot of notes for the map to be useful?
- A modest library already shows connections; the richer your notes, the more the map reveals. Very small libraries will show a hint to add more notes first.
- Is the map private?
- Entirely. It's built in your browser from your backup and never uploaded; even the PNG export is generated on your device.
