Hello, I have yet to see my tiny little WORDsearch library appear in my Logos account.
Thank you.
How many books? Which ones? Did you purchase them directly from Wordsearch? Have you backed them up to the cloud?
This article, "9 Reasons You Might Not See Your Books Yet—and What to Do About It," might help.
Bruce Arthur: Hello, I have yet to see my tiny little WORDsearch library appear in my Logos account.
There isn't a Wordsearch account with the same email address as your Faithlife account, so no licenses were imported automatically.
I did a quick search of the WS customer database, but couldn't find an account for you. If you can remember the email address you used for Wordsearch, you can contact Faithlife Customer Service and ask for your accounts to be merged.
Bradley,
Hate to bother you. Have noticed that the migration of my WORDsearch books has really slowed down.I still have a lot of books were the LOGOS page says either "In Progress" or "Not Started" Most of my goodbooks have migrated. But a few that I use a lot have not. Namely, the "BE Series" by Warren Wiersbeand "Treasures" by Rod Mattoon. Haven't seen much of anything happening since Thursday or Friday.
Jusst wondered if the LOGOS migration took the weekend off (Just kidding...)

The Be Series is discussed here: https://community.logos.com/forums/t/193950.aspx
Regarding all the other books, we have thousands of titles to convert, and have set a goal of having them done by the end of the year.
Mark Johns: Bradley, Got up this morning and realized that the little round "blue" button at the top right of my LOGOS screen has disappeared. That's the one to the left of the synchonization button. As I recall, that is the one that tells you "Preparing Library" and "xxx resources updated" or "xx data sets updated" I can no longer click on the little blue button to see what resources have updated or migrated over from WORDSearch I restarted LOGOS twice and that button is still not there. Not even sure if the synchronization button is working. Does this mean that something is wrong with my LOGOS? Do I need to reinstall it? Or, is this normal for the buttonto disappear and return? Does this mean that my Books/Volumes from WORDSearch are no longer migrating? Mark
Are you sure that you have internet connection?
Blessings in Christ.
Mark Johns:Or, is this normal for the button to disappear and return?
When we click that button, it shows a range of things - that the library is indexing, resources have been updated, datasets have been updated. We have the option of deleting each area within that dropdown individually - I tend to do that when I have noted the changes. Once all of these indications have been deleted, the button disappears until the next time a resource / dataset is updated.
Mark Johns:Does this mean that something is wrong with my LOGOS? Do I need to reinstall it?
Not at all. And, in general, there are very few situations where reinstalling Logos is required. I wouldn't advise doing so unless it has been explicitly recommended as part of a trouble-shooting process.
Mark Johns:Does this mean that my Books/Volumes from WORDSearch are no longer migrating?
It does mean that since the last time all of the areas in that dropdown menu were cleared, no further resources or datasets have been added or updated. It does not mean that the backend process of migration is no longer happening (I have no insight into that) and, if the migration is still happening that button should reappear again when more resources are downloaded.
Mark
the blue button will disappear if you click the x (upper right corner when blue button is clicked to see the list) after you have it openEd to see what new resources or data sets downloaded. It will reappear when new resources are added to your library.
I have broadband Internet. 100MBps or faster.
Graham,
Thanks to you and the other users I know understand.It's just that since I upgraded to LOGOS from WORDSearchI have been used to seeing that Blue button everytime I was using LOGOS 8.I thought that Button was supposed to be there.
Thanks again.
Question: If that button disappears, what is the best way to seewhat resources have been added? I still have a lot of books that haven't migrated over from WORDSearch.
Thanks Keeeth.
When that button disappeared I thought something was wrong with LOGOS.
Sorry Kenneth, didn't mean to misspell your name....
Hi Mark
Mark Johns:Question: If that button disappears, what is the best way to see what resources have been added? I still have a lot of books that haven't migrated over from WORDSearch.
If you open the Library window and scroll down to the bottom of the filter pane on the left you will see options to only show resources that have been added / updated in the last 1 / 7 / 30 days
Hopefully that will give you what you are looking for.
Thanks Graham.
You are a wealth of information
Wish there was a feature in settings that would allow you to leave the button turned on.
Mark Johns:Wish there was a feature in settings that would allow you to leave the button turned on.
There isn't an option in settings but it should stay visible until you have explicitly deleted all the things it has been advising you about (the exception is messages about preparing library, indexing, etc). Are you not seeing that?
Messages about updated resources will only stick around for a week.
Andrew Batishko (Faithlife):Messages about updated resources will only stick around for a week.
Thanks Andrew - I was unaware of that.
Thanks Andrew. Being a Wordsearch person, I am realizing there is a lot to learn about LOGOS. Does it mean that the books I have in WORDsearch, which havent been converted. When they are finally converted and updated in my LOGOS, the the little blue button will appear again once they migrate?
Yes, it will re-appear. it will also appear if any Logos resources you own get updated. When the Word Search resources have been tagged and updated from ebook to Logos Research editions, you will also see the blue button. It will also show up if it is Preparing Library, indexing, if there are updates that need to be installed or downloaded, etc,
Hope this helps, Carla

The purpose of that particular notification is to show any books that have been downloaded (either because they are new or there has been an updated) in the last week.
