What text is used in the reverse interlinear?

Hi all. I have a question that I have not been able to find an answer too.

Without any setup or changing anything, when I have the ESV Bible up in Logos and enable the reverse interlinear, what original language text is used for this? Is it a Critical Text source?

If I were using the KJV, would switch to the Majority text?

Thanks for your help!

The reverse interlinears represent the text the editors believe underpinned the original translation. For the NKJV and KJV that will be very close to the Majority Text. For other translations it will be much closer to Nestle-Aland. But all translations treat text-critical issues slightly differently, and therefore all the reverse interlinears diverge from those base texts at points.

Here's the closest we have to official documentation on this point: https://community.logos.com/forums/p/5553/86821.aspx#86821 (although it's a little out of date now).

That answer is very out-of-date. Some more recent answers:

Most NTs are aligned with SBLGNT. The OT is aligned with LHB.
