1. For this example, I have selected Eagle Owl as the Factbook entry as it illustrates some confusing behavior.

2. Hover/mouse over either the wheel or the word (in original language only) will bring up a simple translation wheel and spark chart popup. I found no way to force the popup to remain open. Note that the counts on the popup do not match the counts in Factbook. As we will see later this is because the Factbook is based on the LEB  tagging for the sense while the popup is based on the lemma in NRSV - my preferred Bible. Corrected per Bradley - still out is if tagging ever disagrees with LEB.

3. Click/shift+click/drag-and-drop on the original language word will open the Bible Word Study/My Bible Word Study Guide for the word. The pronunciation phonetical spelling is inert. Click on the speaker icon to hear the pronunciation.

4. Right click on the word brings up the right click menu.

5. Note the discrepancy in count mentioned earlier - tagging for Factbook entry sense vs. preferred Bible lemma.

6. On the spark chart, mouse over provided the book name and count. The length of the line reflects a normalized frequency and the color the bible section.

7. Clicking on the spark chart toggles the display of the verses.

8. I may have missed it but I found no direct link between the Bible Sense Lexicon and Factbook so I went through the Bible Word Study Guide. Note the BSL used the count of 3 from my highest priority Bible not the 2 of the LEB given in the Factbook.

9. Here is the LEB translation wheel showing the source of the discrepancy.

10. The Reference shows the expected behavior of preview on hover.

11. The reference may be drag-and-dropped to a Passage List or Bibliography document.

12. The standard open behavior on click/shift-click/drag-and-drop applies to the reference.

13. Right click brings up the context menu as is standard.

14. The highlighted text in the verse itself behaves as the reference does - a preview on hover.

15. opening the resource

16. drag-and-drop

17. right click

18. F7 open text comparison panel
