I don't know about others, but I find myself frequently accessing the source information pane. To do this, each time I have to open the resource panel from the triple-dot drop-down menu. I find this irritating and wish there was a button on the main source panel that I could just click to open the document's information page. Here is where I would put it:

I know there is a keyboard shortcut for this, but I keep forgetting what it is.

By the way, I am using Logos version 8.4.0.0047

    There used to be a button like that in Logos 4 through to Logos 7. It was removed in Logos 8.

    There's a keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+I (Windows) / Cmd+Shift+I (macOS).

    I'd like it back.

    Yes, I'm in favor of UI elements that are more easily discoverable and accessible. It does not seem like there's a shortage of space or undue clutter on that location bar, so I don't know why the button needed to be removed.

    Yes, please bring it back. The "i" button is still on the Library screen.

    I would love to see that whole bar as configurable.

    Everyone works differently, and I am sure people would love to be able to toggle their preferred features/filters on and off without having to go into the menu also. If these could be bound to shortcuts also, even better!
