Some questions
I am so grateful to all of you who read these posts and try to help people like me!! Thank you!!
1. In the reading view how do you place a bookmark?
2. What is the difference between the factbook and the topic guide?
3. How does Logos connect with presentations at various churches? It often comes up when I am using the Android app on my phone but did not come up on my computer. Why? I do not find my own church listed. Why would that be? How do you follow a presentation an what does Logos do with the presentation, ie what may I expect if I do follow a presentation?
Thank you and God bless!

You should be able to use a keyboard shortcut as outlined at https://wiki.logos.com/Bookmarks#How_do_I_set_a_bookmark.3f (I’m not at my computer so can’t check this at the moment but it should work)

Do the descriptions at https://support.logos.com/hc/en-us/articles/360016146691-Factbook and https://support.logos.com/hc/en-us/articles/360016688791-Topic-Guide help?

You see this feature on mobile apps - not desktop / laptop - which is why you don’t see it on your computer.
It links to the Faithlife Proclaim product which is used to create and project material used in services - songs, reading, slides, videos, announcements etc. It has the ability to set signals - for Bible passages, for events, for sermon slides, etc - and the mobile app will respond to these signals. So with a Bible passage, for example, you would see a prompt at the bottom of the screen showing the passage and clicking on it would take you to it.
If you have the Follow Presentations toggle set in the Presentations section of the app settings you will be prompted when a nearby Proclaim service starts (I think the limit is within 1,000 metres but I’m not sure) and have the option to connect or not. If you don’t want to see these prompts, turn off that toggle.

This feature looks for nearby churches that are using Faithlife Proclaim (https://proclaim.faithlife.com/). If you follow a presentation, your mobile app will show "signals" that have been embedded in the presentation, e.g., Bible references on the current slide, which allows you to follow along in your app.
It's designed for use in church, which is why it's in the mobile app, not the desktop application. (Although we have expanded the definition of "nearby" to allow people to follow live streams at home, instead of needing to be in the church building.)

I think that used to be the limit, but it's been increased so church members can find their church even if they're following a live stream from home.

Thanks Bradley - that’s good to know
