1. In guides....when a hyperlink appears include the option to include the section, definition or article in-line. This would allow a single seamless research document. As things stand when you hit a link in the passage or exegetical guide you open the resources, from which you presumably cut/paste notes into the notes section of the guide....why not just pull it in in the first place.
2 In concordance....columns for additional resources....I'm getting ready to preach from John so I have a concordance document set up to analyze statistics just in John.... What if??? I could add a column for Matthew, Or the synoptics, or 1 John. The Concordance tool because of how it addresses and compiles data is the first step to better integrated data analysis and visualization.
Parallel alignment of the Greek words (not just pericopes) in Aland's Synopsis of the Four Gospels. Some years ago (Logos 4? Logos 5?) it was possible to set Burton's Harmony of the Synoptic Gospels to Greek to disclose the varying word, clause, and sentence orders within parallel pericopes. An English example is Throckmorton's Gospel Parallels which appears to be no longer available.
Steve Maling:Parallel alignment of the Greek words (not just pericopes) in Aland's Synopsis of the Four Gospels.
Yes!
The utility of the print edition is considerably greater than the Logos digital edition due to the alignment between Greek (and English) words.
Nick: This has probably already been requested by now... but the ability to import Sermons from .docx files in order to have them searchable under "my content."

Not sure, if you know that you can already import sermons as personal books. See this page for details: https://wiki.logos.com/Sermon_and_Illustration_Support (and this one for more general information about personal books: https://wiki.logos.com/personal_books in case you need it).
Although I have MW11, CED, and COED prioritized, often MW10 pops up when a word is double clicked, although that word is in MW11. This needs fixed.
Option for a keyboard keystroke to start OR pause [Ctrl / Cmd+R] when reading aloud is enabled. Normally space bar = page-down. When reading aloud, space bar could (should) be enabled to be used for pause/restart, as in VLC player. This would be very handy.
Also while reading aloud there is a much-too-long-pause between chapters when on iPhone HotSpot. Sometimes I must hit pause then play more than twice to restart after chapter pause.
This reiterates the need to have ESV, for example, to be downloaded to device [I have plenty of room] to prevent such long pauses and use up limited data plan. [DLO = DownLoadOnce].
Logos Phrasebook
Right click on a word and an option is “Look up.” But when two words together are highlighted “Look up” is not an option: e.g. rex socius [A History of the New Testament Times...]. This is another example of words or phrases in Logos resources that should be defined within a Logos dictionary or Phrasebook without requiring “outside assistance.” Words not found in any Logos dictionary or encyclopedia should be included in this Phrasebook. (what's in Logos should be defined within Logos).
My apologies: My comment about a Logos Phrasebook was premature. Right click on two words, then in pop-up window: Search: then scroll down to "all resources" or "everything." This will find more info although some is in Latin or Greek, etc.

For Logos to be more useful would be for phrases like this to be found in a Logos Phrasebook. I have spent a few futile minutes with no success to find a definition on the web or in Logos. Any and all words or phrases in Logos should be defined therein. Undefined words and phrases leaves the understanding incomplete - unacceptable for what we spend on Logos.

I would like a program option for ALL RESOURCE SETTINGS to be LAYOUT SPECIFIC.
This may well have already been requested (perhaps by me ), but by the very nature of what a layout is and the purpose it serves, it seems only logical to me that resource settings should be layout specific--or ...at least have an option to work that way in program settings.
WHY? Here are just a couple of reasons.
I wish Visual copy for Personal book.
Blessings in Christ.

Wow , thank you Alabama. And thank you Faithlife. I did n't know that.
Justin Gatlin: The fuzzy Bible search is lousy. The response to a lot of early feedback was defensive and mostly just repeated that what we really wanted from the function was not possible with the way it was built. I am sorry you wasted time and money building it in a way that is not compatible with basic user requests, but that does not change the need to look at those requests and go back to the drawing board.
Justin: thanks for the frank feedback. I'd love to hear your ideas about where fuzzy Bible search falls short: can you elaborate? (feel free to start a new Forum thread on this topic if appropriate)
Andrew116: Further on the theme of 'don't give us new features, make the program better to use'... Frequently I look things up in topic guide and factbook and find no results, or very limited results, even though dictionaries in my library do have entries on exactly that topic. For example, yesterday I looked up the Council of Nicea. It returned 2 journal articles (great!) and nothing else. It should have found at least some of the following: (but it didn't) https://ref.ly/logosres/lxglsstheo?hw=Council+of+Nicaea https://ref.ly/logosres/thsltncmpnnchth?hw=Council+of+Nicaea https://ref.ly/logosres/cathdictaddisarn?hw=Nicene+Councils https://ref.ly/logosres/isbe?ref=VolumePage.V+1%2c+p+663&off=4169 So 1 thing on my wishlist is that Factbook better helps me find the things I already have. As I said before, it doesn't sound as good in marketing language as '10,000 new features'... but when people find the software really helpful, they will tell their friends / peers... it will sell.

Andrew: thanks for these examples. For the first case, I believe we haven't yet done the processing to integrate this resource into Factbook: I've asked that we queue it for processing. The second and third are data bugs: we haven't captured the spelling difference of Nicea vs Nicaea, or the naming difference of Nicene Councils (we also have separate pages for First Council of Nicaea and Second Council of Nicaea: these should at least be linked to the others). We'll get these fixed.
The last one isn't found because it's a subsection of an article about Christology: i don't see us solving that problem anytime soon. However, for these kinds of historical events, you can find the event on the timeline, and a right-click will give you a list of all mentions of the date that we've been able to identify as related. That's not a great answer, and not the same as pointing to reference content on that subject. But it may be helpful in some cases.
We want Factbook to be a great first stop for researching topics in Logos, so please pass along other cases where Factbook is falling short, or other suggestions for how to improve it.
David Betts: - PLEASE Correct the Before and After:Biblical Sites that shows the Temple being built in place of the Dome of the Rock. The true location of the Temple was at the City of David, approximately ½ kilometer NEAR the Gihon Springs. PLEASE do some honest research. This is WW3 material as shown!

David, we're looking into this.
David Betts: - A “Global Back Button / key-combo.” For example, I click a link from m.Ed video to go to another resource, and then another, then lose my way back.

Does Tools/History do what you want? (i know it's not a button)
For me, the single most important wish is to improve usability, especially when it comes to searches. If we could get Google-like searches in Logos, this would be amazing.
Harry Hahne: Steve Maling:Parallel alignment of the Greek words (not just pericopes) in Aland's Synopsis of the Four Gospels. Yes! The utility of the print edition is considerably greater than the Logos digital edition due to the alignment between Greek (and English) words.
This is different than your request, but the Parallel Gospel Reader interactive can highlight matching words (dynamically). It only supports English texts at present: but you can select Aland's Synopsis (in English) at the top, hover over a word in one column, and the matching words in the other columns are highlighted.
You can also link this panel to another panel (like Aland's Greek synopsis): that won't show highlights, but it will at least scroll to the right position.
Word-level alignment of the Gospels is on our internal wishlist as well.
