INTERMITTENT BUG: Unable to Add Factbook tag
I wished to add a Factbook tag to Charles, R. H., ed. The Book of Jubilees or The Little Genesis: Translation. Translated by R. H. Charles. London: Adam and Charles Black, 1902. Specifically, to Emzara in Jub 4:33. Unfortunately, the popup for adding Factbook tags simply flashes on the screen without offering an…

Comments on new Bible Study document
Questions for Hebrews 6:13-20 Q's from LessonMaker came from a Hidden resource, but they related to the ESV pericope for the passage. Q's from "Hebrews: How Jesus speaks into everything" had to be extracted from Lessons 7 and 8. * Lessons 1, 2 and 6 were not relevant, but how were Lessons 3 thru 5 successfully omitted?. *…

Inline Search field picker is intermittently being truncated
Sometimes when trying to select a search field, the picker is truncated (this is using 37.0 beta 3 on Windows 11) It doesn't happen all of the time - but more than 50% of the time and I haven't been able to identify any particular sequence that causes it to happen.

I Had No Idea!
I'm not sure what is happening here. Logos uses the series name for the title here. Unless my copy was mislabeled by myself or otherwise, it is misleading.

When using the Sermon Assistant - should generated questions inserted into a sermon document be auto
I've just been experimenting with the sermon assistant in Questions mode. It generated some good questions and I was able to insert them into the text of my sermon. I was surprised to see it wasn't automatically tagged as a question when inserted. Is this something that is intended or could be added? Thanks, Graham

ATTN: Mark re:sermon assistant tools OR tell me why the Sermon Builder doesn't meet your needs
My concern is that there has been no broadening of the type of sermon/homily supported since the ineffective complaints to the sermon workflows in L7 (Frs. Damian and Devin were involved). I was reminded of that fact by a Lutheran's support for moving the sermon assistant outside the sermon builder. The primary failures of…

Power lookup/open reference book change?
I don't know if I missed a change notice or accidentally changed a setting or if I am just doing such different tasks. But often when I click on a reference the Power Lookup panel pops up rather than the resource the reference is in. What am I doing/is the app doing?

Bible Study in Revelations 3
Rev 3:9-11 generated a question from "Hope in Hard Times" (LLS:53.10.80): Jesus’ common address “to the angel of the church of This was not expanded when selected.

BUG: Data error/inconsistency for Biblical event (a.k.a. I hate Logos)

BUG: Bible search analysis view unusable
Because Bible commentaries are not fully tagged and because packages mix languages (for me it was a German commentary), it is no longer satisfactory to search for Joshua and assume you will get all relevant books. Rather, one need to search for Joshua OR Jeshua OR Josué OR Jeschua ... depending upon the languages in your…

2 Suggestions to improve Bible Study Builder
* Because we can't control the order of the books from which the questions come, please DO NOT expand the first entry.

Comment: Bible Study for the Beatitudes
I entered Mt 5 and was presented with a number of pericopes that include Luke 6.

BUG? Is it intentional that the F1 method of accessing the Help Center does its own rebel thing?

Checking whether "Preaching Theme" information should appear in the Context menu
The Factbook entry for God's Love shows that this theme is present in 1 John 2:3-11, but right-clicking a word in verse 5 doesn't show that preaching theme in the context menu. It does appear if I right-click a word in a verse that is tagged as one of the Key Passages Is this how it is intended to work and, if so, was this…

Thoughts on Logos Pro so far...

Among the features I find…

Question noise in BSB
There is a large volume of unusable questions in the questions drawn from Bible study booklets. Some of these can be programmatically corrected or dropped as useless out of context. For my example I chose a passage that spans parts of 3 chapters - the same span shown in the resource on the right: * "This paragraph" has no…

Indexing tools issue
I routinely use the "rebuild index" tool as I am always wanting to make sure, well, the indexing is accurate. Generally, rebuild index, should delete and rebuild all your resource indexes.

Factbook, Biblical Passages and Outline Biblical Events - and linking to the Biblical Event Navigato
With the Factbook article for John 3, the outline tab in the Biblical Events section links to the Life of Jesus in the Biblical Event Navigator.

Simple AI tweak to make the Bible Study Builder tower over competitors
At the moment, there is nothing that sets the BSB apart from any of the myriad of books from which it draws. It produces lessons that are same old-same old.
