Very soon, there'll be a number of new features in 4.0b. Here's how to use them.
Prayer List Document
Create a Prayer List document to remind you to pray for a specific item on a scheduled day.
- Click on File | New | Prayer List.
- Click in the “Untitled Prayer List” text box to type a unique title.
- Click into the Prayer name box to type a name for your prayer.
- Enter specific information in the Notes... box.
- Select Pray for this item every day and choose a schedule to pray:
- Click on every to change how many days to pray (i.e., every ‘1’ day, every ‘2’ days, etc.).
- Click on day to change the frequency per week, month, or year; or you can choose a starting and ending date.
- Choose day of the week options if applicable.
- Enter a comment in the Answer... box when the prayer has been fulfilled. This will change its status to Answered.
Reading Plan Options
If you are behind, you can right-click on a day and select Adjust plan from here, which pushes everything back so that you start reading on that day.
Importing Libronix DLS Documents
Logos 4 allows certain types of your Libronix DLS 3 documents to be imported. The currently supported documents are:
- Favorites
- Highlighting (was called Visual Markup)
- Notes document
- Prayer List document
To import all supported Libronix DLS 3 documents into Logos 4, enter Import All into the Command Box.
An Importing status message will appear in the upper-right corner of the main window. You can cancel the import by right-clicking this message and selecting Cancel.
Important Information
It is highly recommended that you prepare your LDLS3 notes for importing first; instructions for doing this are available online.
Imported content “remembers” that it was imported. You can run Import All again (to bring in new documents) without creating duplicates of the items you’ve already imported.
Any changes to imported content in Logos 4 will clear the link between Logos 4 and LDLS3. Once an item is edited, running Import All again will re-import the original LDLS3 document; you will see the original item from LDLS3 duplicated with the edited item in Logos 4.
To remove imported items, enter Import delete All into the command box. This will remove the imported documents from Logos 4 only; it will not change LDLS3.
You can import one type of document at a time by specifying its name in the command box, e.g., Import Favorites or Import Notes.

Please note: I didn't write this. It's just an extract from the Logos help file. I put it on the forum only because I know many of you forum readers don't read help files on principle!
