I am watching the DVD on the Jonah study and I really like how his homepage looks. Particularly on the left he has a panel which is headed: Quickstart for Logos 7. I would love to copy this but not sure if this feature is available on Logos 8.
The Logos 7 homepage layouts can not be reproduced in Logos 8.
I believe the Quickstart for Logos 7 feature you reference just linked to the Logos 7 quickstart resource. Logos 8 has it's own quickstart resource, which you probably already have access to. Check in your library for "QuickStart for Logos 8". You could drag that to your shortcut bar if you wanted quick access to it.
... Quickstart for Logos 7. I would love to copy this but not sure if this feature is available on Logos 8.
Layouts menu in Logos 8 includes QuickStart
Hovering mouse on a QuickStart Layout causes a drop down circle to appear:
One idea is opening a QuickStart Layout, customize it, followed by Replacing QuickStart Layout (for future use).

Thank you so much for both of the replies. Although I have had Logos 4 for many years, I never really used it to it's full capacity. I recently purchased an upgrade to Logos 8 and decided to try and understand some of the features better. The problem is that all the teaching videos and bible studies on video use a different version to the one I have so I'm finding it extremely slow trying to figure out how to do what he did on mine (if that makes sense)
I particularly liked the home screen the man who does the Jonah videos had. He had a narrow panel on the left of the screen which was headed Quickstart Logos 7 and underneath he had many of the feature which are on the dashboard, such as Prayer Lists, Courses, Reading Plans and under each heading there was a list of all his active prayers, courses and reading plans. The rest of the screen was similar to a newspaper in the sense that it had all different panels which were obviously custom chosen. Similar to the "Explore" section on my homepage but his wasn't related to buying more items they were interesting video clips, his recent reading lists. I love how it's all arranged and would just like to know how to replicate it. I'm beginning to think I should have purchased Logos 7 instead of 8.
I have figured out how to do the study screen which you have so kindly explained above, it's the page you get when you click on the little house that I would like to customise.

There are a lot of training videos available at https://support.logos.com/hc/en-us/sections/360001775112-Videos-and-Tutorials most of which were produced for Logos 8.

Sorry - I realise I didn't comment on this.
Yes, there was quite a redesign of the homepage for Logos 8 and a lot of people expressed similar concerns as you have.
Have you looked at using the Dashboard section of the homepage?
