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.

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."

Study Assistent / Author of the Gospel of Mark

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?

Ref.ly links in Microsoft Office on Windows

AI search and collections

Results of a smart Bible search won't save to a passage list

Ordering of Formatting Markers in the text

Isn't is time to provide definitions for the book types
I know … the request to know what the categories actual mean/are intended to mean has aged gracefully like a good cheese … but it is time for Logos quit stalling.

Why is there a discover section? A case study ...
I rarely use Logos topics or preaching themes as they often merge different concepts or narrow/broaden the topics I wish to consider.
