Release notes say "Resources can be hidden via drag and drop from Library."  Can anyone explain to me (in English) what that means?  Bonus bonus for screenshots!  TIA.

    Ok, I figured it out.  Open your program settings and put it in its own window on one side.  Scroll down to the bottom.

    Open your library in its own window on the other side.

    Scroll through your library and look for resources you just don't use.  For me, the Targums and Greek fragments fit the bill (I'm looking at you P115!).  Drag and drop them from the Library on the Hidden Resources box.  Restart.  The "hidden" resources no longer appear in your library.  

    Bug:  Unfortunately, you have to drag and drop these resources one at a time!  When I multi-selected and dragged and dropped, they were not hidden.  :-(  

    The good news is that these resources no longer are searched in your basic search.  Handy!  (None of the Greek fragments, P4, P20, P82, etc., show up in the search list below!)

    Question:  Where else do they no longer show up?

    The "hidden" resources no longer appear in your library.

    This is a useful feature, but needs to be used with caution. The release notes indicate that with the present alpha, there's no way of 'unhiding' the resources once they're hidden. So for now, once they're gone, they're gone ...

    Tested and confirmed, though I'm not losing any sleep over missing Targums.  Still, if I absolutely had to get them back, I think I could simply delete L4 and reinstall from scratch.  Might take a few hours, but everything would be there, right?

    Probably not, as they would be marked as hidden on the Logos servers. You could restore them from the Windows version if you have access to that, or you can wait until that feature is implemented in the Mac version.
