• Use Default Font: When selected, you can define the default Unicode font for exporting the text.
• Use Default Color: When selected, you can choose the color applied to the default font of exported text.

• URL Style: When selecting Copy Location URL from a Text or a Tool, copies the module, field, and entry as a hyperlink for use in User Notes and User Tools, as well as any application into which a URL can be pasted.
• https://accordancebible/: These are weblinks. They go to the Accordance website, which then redirects to the Accordance application. Because of the https prefix, they are much more supported in other applications than accord:// links. For example, our forums allow "https" links but not "accord" links. Also, since it links to the Accordance website, the https link has a nice failover in case the individual using the link doesn't own Accordance.
• accord://: These are direct links to Accordance. No internet is required, and it's faster and more direct than the https://accordancebible/ option, since it doesn't link to the Accordance website first. However, not all programs or websites support it. Generally, accord:// links are better if used only for personal use (such as pasting into a note on your own iOS device), while https://accordancebible/ links are better for sending to anyone else.
