Suggestion: Add Explore and Cited By to Passage Guide

I noticed that the information in "Cited By" is exactly the same as what you get when you add a collection to the Passage Guide. Also, Explore has a lot of the same content as Passage Guide with one exception- When you hover over the commentaries in Explore you get a little preview of the information within (useful) but when you do the same for the commentary section in Passge Guide you just get the info for the commentary itself (not so uselful).

My suggestion: Add the Explore elements to the Passage guide and then make the collection tabs have the same options for tweaking as the cited by tool. Also fix the commentary section so you get a preview of the information you are looking for. Logos is looking to streamline and simplify things (although as a power user I am missing a lot of features I used to love in L3) and combining these three elements into one all inclusive passage guide would certainly simplify things (no more wondering which guide to use).

As a work around have you considered creating a layout that includes a custom passage guide that searches resource information not incorporated in the explorer tool. You could also have the "cited by tool" linked to your custom passage guide and explorer tool.

Thanks for the suggestion but I don't use the cited by tool since I can get the same functionality in collections in the passage guide and therefore can save screen realestate. As for the explore tool I just don't use it since the biggest thing I would use it for is to hover over the commentaries to see a preview. The other elements in one form or another are already in the passage guide. This is why I say it makes sense to incorporate all of these into the passage guide as extra enhancements so there is only one guide to take up space in the end.
