Missing mouse over response on system caption buttons
On the window title line, the minimize and close buttons have a mouse-over caption. However, I can't get the restore/maximize icon to show anything on mouse-over. Yes, this is a matter of consistency not function.

Will there be an option to just use our own books in the Factbook Questions to Ask section?

Study Assistant question and feature requests
What is the difference between the Smart Search and the Study Assistant, other than that the Study Assistant allows followup questions? The Smart Assistant often returns terrible results, because it picks low quality resources. I can get a better answer by doing a Smart Search on a Collection with resources of a particular…

Suggestion: Indicate if the current version is a Release Candidate
When I look at About Logos to determine my Logos version, it currently says it is version 46 with the exact version is 46.0.312. There is no way that I can know from this that my version is actually still a beta version. Since it does not say RC1 (Release Candidate 1), it looks like version 46 has been publicly released.…

Bug: Update causes resource history to be lost
When I updated to Logos 46.0 Beta 3, the history of my resources was lost. If I right click on the back arrow, I can no longer select from previous locations in a particular resource. However, if I open the History panel, I can see that Logos retains the history of locations in various resources. But I cannot change the…

Incorrect action/documentation on ALT+space bar
The OS system standard for ALT+space is/was that it opens the system menu. It now opens a Copilot session. I don't know when the change was made but it is not reflected in Keyboard Shortcuts – Verbum Support or the Help documents.

Evangelicalism does not parallel other titles
If it is Congregational, shouldn't it be Evangelical? This comes across as inconsistent (read "sloppy") which is not good for first impressions.

Study Assistant AI credit usage
I really appreciate the new study assistant as far as the AI features in are concerned. I think this is a great advancement and the right direction.

FEEDBACK WANTED: New Resource Toolbar on Desktop
The new resource toolbar has made it to the desktop app and is now available for beta testing in version 36 Beta 3! As we all know, the desktop app has a world of functionality inside it.

Missing obvious denominational tags
Nothing says more "we build great features - we don't care if they actually work" than missing obvious features e.g. study bibles with their denominational designation in their title. Please continue the work of getting all books that appear in the Commentaries tagged with their denominations. The unmarked denomination…

Incorrect book title
I assure you that I have NO books in my library titled "one volume" nor with a standard abbreviation of "one volume". This is the silliest, most unhelpful bit of non-information that I have seen in Verbum. If, for some odd reason, you think this is highly relevant to someone, please show the actual title with an OV…

Checking a detail regarding the focus indicator in Study Assistant
46.0 beta 3 adds a focus indicator to the Study Assistant - from the release notes: "Using the keyboard for navigation within the study assistant is now easier thanks to the new focus indicator." When I use the tab key to move between different footnote indicators, I get a popup on each footnote which is nice. But the…

This is with Logos 64.0 beta 3 on Windows 11 If I enter apostles creed in the Topic Guide I get a match as expected But if I use the same string in the Factbook, I don't get a match (And if I use apostles' creed or use the search option to find all possible matches, I still don't find anything) Is this expected or is there…

Study Assistent / Author of the Gospel of Mark
I asked the new Study Assistent at Desktop for the Author of the Gospel of Mark (query in German). The answer given in English is: "uncertain". To the same question in English the Web App Smart Assistent responds "John Mark". As already mentioned earlier (see here), Factbook used to identify "John Mark" as the author of…

How to search for text?
Note turning match all forms on/off has no effect on the results - either because I am scanning German texts or because of a bug. A text search for "Ru 1" OR "Ru 2" was run because there is a personal book I downloaded that failed to link these in a German personal book. I deliberately am using a text search rather than a…

Why the new blank screens all the time?
Verbum/Mac 46.0 beta 1. Often now, I see one or two blank screens displayed, with a big plus in the middle. They are then replaced by the panels to come up. For example, when I click on a layout, or briefly when I close a single window, I see this: And then if for example I have one panel up now, I'll see this permanently:…

BUG - Reading Plan - not showing the start and finish bars

I've got a couple reading plans going and it's not there anymore for them. I've tried closing the books and…

Suggestion: Add the Logos Subscription Tier Name on the Logos Icon on the Main Toolbar
In addition to having the Logos subscription tier name in About Logos and on the Splash Screen, it might be neat if you could add it on the Logos Icon on the main toolbar.

Ref.ly links in Microsoft Office on Windows
Beginning in v39 Beta 2, we added support to Logos to open ref.ly links directly without opening a browser tab.

Unfortunately, a…

Can I share a custom highlight menu with other Logos users?
Can I share a custom highlight menu for color coding the Bible with other Logos users so they don't have to recreate it? If not can I create a "community free account" that several users can access to get a custom highlight menu? I don't think I can put the custom highlight menu into a document or filter. I am primarily…

AI search and collections
I am excited about the potential of the AI search, in my use of it so far in the beta I find it is much more intuitive and has been a big quality of life improvement for people like me who are trying to get to a lot of material in a short period of time. A suggestion I have is that it seems to do best when given a narrower…

Results of a smart Bible search won't save to a passage list
I'm unable to save the results of my smart Bible search to a passage list. The passage list document opens, with the search text as the title, but with no verses. Is this a bug, or a missing capability? (Verbum 40.0 Beta 1 | 40.0.281)
