I have a question about footnotes and such

I am in the learning process of textual variants and I have The Greek New Testament, Fourth Revised Edition (with Morphology) in my library.

I also have a paper version of the book which contains footnotes and the variants within each verse.

But in Logos, none of the footnotes are showing at all! I have the Greek, but no other information. I'm wondering if I am missing something? Am I not dealing with the same book and am just totally confused?

Any help here would be appreciated. Thanks!

Not all the Greek texts in Logos show textual variants. The following do (though not all with the same detail). Obviously, depending on your package, you may not have all these resources:

The Greek New Testament, Fourth Revised Edition (With Apparatus)
Nestle-Aland Novum Testamentum Graece Editio XXVII
The New Testament in the Original Greek: Byzantine Textform 2005

You may also have some resources that are just the textual apparatus (search for 'apparatus' in your library). They include:

Nestle-Aland NTG Apparatus Criticus
Novum Testamentum Graece: Apparatus Criticus

Looks like this string is a couple of years old. I too am researching variants, and after listening to James White carry on about his NA27 text having footnotes showing "all"of the variants. I'm curious with the release of L5 and all the updates to resources, if there are better resources available that show all the variants for each verse?

I don't know about better but since 2010 there are:

NA28 with Apparatus
SBLGNT (incl Apparatus)

Can filter library for:

Subject:Textual,Type:Apparatus,Title:Apparatus

No apparatus shows all the variants - and nor should it. If one 8th century scribe made a typo which no-one else followed, there's no reason to note that. The fullest NT apparatus is Tischendorf's (in Gold and above), but as that's old, it's missing the more recent manuscripts. The best Apparatus is therefore Nestle-Aland's (which is almost certainly what White was referring to). It's included in this: https://www.logos.com/product/21066/german-bible-society-bundle-student-edition
