Today, a gentleman was struggling with gestures; I wished to learn more about gestures, so I brought up the new Logos Help resource to try it out (I was pretty excited).  But then excitement turned to surprise.  I'll admit a bit of snarkification, but it really appears 'lazy'.  Compare the two Help resources below.  One is from Logos. The other is from amateur-lady (the lady barely can do a PB for goodness sakes).  I won't say which image is which. 

1. Note which one indicates which version of the software it applies to.

2. Note which has an organized TOC, that maps to the help text.

3. Note which has a text box for the user to type in subjects.

    Inline search works in Logos Help resource:

    Noticed Logos Help resource was last updated on 31 Oct 2014.  Perhaps Help could have a Table of Contents?

    It does although it displays at the top as it is designed to be read in a narrow column. The Help resource is designed to be read in a standard resource panel size and hence has the TOC available on the left. And, after all, we had asked Faithlife if they wanted us to make help into a PB as a temporary measure or have them do it ... so if they give us what we ask for as a temporary measure and ...
