TIP of the day: What prioritization does and doesn't do for the Book of Concord, for example
Since the previous tip brought up the issue of prioritization, this is a bit more on the subject of what it does and doesn't do.
1. When one enters the Open command in the Command box, a list of potential matching entries is generated. These are based on a "best match" routine and are not affected by prioritization.
2. When one opens the Context Menu and selects reference, the list of the top five resources is affected by prioritization. This is the Faithlife default prioritization.
3. When one does a Search for instances of the text, the result order is controlled by the options "Ranked", "By Resource" (alphabetic) and "By Count". The Search is not affected by prioritization. However the Search does provide a list of potential resources to prioritize for this data type.
4. When you Search on references to the data type, you get a list of resources referencing the text. References are outside the prioritization scheme.
5. When one opens the Parallel resources list, the list is in priority order. This is the default prioritization.
6. Items appear in Parallel Resources if they share an index or you have included them in a collection which you have marked as "Show in parallel resources". This particular resource should not appear, according to Bradley an error in metadata caused it to appear here. A case for a fix has been made. When you encounter puzzles like this, ask on the forums. Getting it corrected helps all the owners of the resource.
8. The Collections Section of the Passage Guide's sequence is controlled by an option within the section - "Articles" (alphabetic), "Ranked", "By Resource" (alphabetic), or "By Count". This is not affected by Prioritization.
9. When one hovers over a reference to the item, a popup window previews the text. This is taken from the highest priority item indexed by the data type. Therefore, this is affected by prioritization. What is shown here is the default priority.
7. Here is my prioritization of the top seven resources with Milestones for the Book of Concord. Any remaining resources will revert to the default priority sequence following those specified by me.
10. Now the Context Menu reflects my priorities rather than the defaults shown above.
11. Now the Parallel Resources are listed in my priorities rather than the default.
12. Now the preview popup for the reference reflects my priorities.
13. And now Bradley and Mark can correct any misunderstandings that I have spread in this post ... and perhaps indicate where else the priorities are considered.

Advanced prioritization can change pop-up text in a Church Dogmatics resource to a specific Book of Concord:

Is there a reason to prioritize books outside of the categories of Bibles, dictionaries, commentaries, and grammars that would be helpful in Logos 6?

It depends on your library and interests. For example, I would expect most Lutherans to prioritize The Book of Concord, most Reformed to prioritize Calvin's Institutes ... anything that has a data type, is broadly referenced and that you own multiple versions of is a serious candidate for prioritization.
