Is there an easy way in Logos to see all the resources that have migrated so far in a list form?
You open the library in list form (i.e. Details View - red arrow in screenshot) and select from the facet filter "Added Today" (purple arrow)
Unfortunately it appears that Logos also did an update today, so I am not sure which resources have been directly added from Wordsearch. Is there any other way to determine which books were added from Wordsearch?

Updated existing resources in your library are no issue at all when you use the added filter facet. Things you actively bought in one of the FL shops or PrePubs that came through at the same time as WS resources will show in the Order History in your FL account.
Have joy in the Lord!

Daniel I know exactly how you feel because our ministry situations are very similar. I am continuing to use WordSearch while at the same time trying to learn Logos with limited success. Though I have looked many times, I still cannot figure out how to coordinate selecting a word from my Bible translations with "That's Easy for You to Say" for pronunciations. I have followed a video on moving up the priority and when I select a word it still will not work without me typing in the word to Easy. In WS all you had to do is select a word in the Bible Translation, right click and pick pronounce. Done. I am very frustrated as well Brother.
I have not received any responses to my questions about this.

I see that arrogance that "our way is better" so we will just do away with the features you liked is likely going to prevail, many will adapt others will leave. I am glad I have other choices that will do what I want to do even if I have to use dedicated old software, new is not always better.

Place your questions on using Logos in the Logos 9 desktop app forum to get answers. Most Logos savvy users don't follow the Wordsearch forum -- especially in a long thread that doesn't get bumped when no answer has been given.

There have been indications that some form of the Lesson Builder is likely to be built. Other items I haven't paid much attention since my use of Wordsearch was limited to teaching my Dad to use it a decade or two ago. But if you've spent any time in software development, you will know that how a feature is integrated into an application depends on the basic structure of the application. So the same feature will have a different implementation in Logos than in Wordsearch. What Wordsearch users can do to make sure their needs are met is to add features present in Wordsearch but missing in Logos to the user feedback site Roadmap | Faithlife Feedback then drum up support. Unfortunately, we have no way of knowing which features FL may already have in their development roadmap so one may be drumming up support for something that will be done anyway.
PS. Please read the forum guidelines Forum Guidelines - Faithlife Forums (logos.com) I can't speak for others but in my living room calling others arrogant is not a great way to start out.

Please forgive my frustration as I forgive those that frustrate me. [;)]

2 things from WS:
1) Ability to have a highlighter of my choice scroll along verse by verse as I read thru the Bible.
2) Ability to "click" on a Strong's Numbers reference within the Bible I was reading.
So far, I really miss both features. I'm hoping it is or will be available in Logos.

Don't forget you can push for different/added behavior on FeedBear (faithlife.com) FL has ended up doing what it said it wouldn't in the face of user pressure.

I am not a user of Strongs but when it is displayed as an interlinear you can just click on it. Or if you have the information tool open, you can open Strongs from there.

Welcome [:D]
Logos uses original language Lemma more than Strong's numbering of Greek & Hebrew Lemma's (as original language Lemma can be used in Apostolic Father resources that have Greek Lemma's not numbered by Strong since they did not appear in Biblical text)
Right Click context menu in a Bible with Reverse Interlinear (OR an original language Bible) includes Lemma and Root
Right Click => Lemma has Bible Word Study link, which can show translation rings (can click on a ring segment to show verses).
Right Click => Lemma has Pronounce so can hear Lemma spoken. Homeschool starter bundle included Greek Pronunciations Dataset (Koine)
Bible Word Study includes Root section that shows related original language Lemma's (something missing from Strong's numbering).
Right Click => Root can search Bible to find related word translations: e.g. <Root = lbs/el/χαιρω> (as shown in screen shot bottom left)
Most (if not all) Lexicons in Logos/Verbum have original language Lemma indexing: e.g. Greek Headwords. Some Lexicons also have Strong's number indexing. One option is prioritizing Lexicons so Right Click Lemma lookup has Top Five lexicons of Lemma indexing (without Strong's) while Strong's Number lookup has five more Lexicon choices. Thread => searching strong's numbers has prioritization example from 2011.
Personally like Greek Audio New Testament so can use Read Aloud for Greek New Testament: e.g. Revelation 4:8
Ἅγιος ἅγιος ἅγιος κύριος, ὁ θεός, ὁ παντοκράτωρ, ὁ ἦν καὶ ὁ ὢν καὶ ὁ ἐρχόμενος.
Thread => Status of your Wordsearch Library has a reply showing one click of a Hebrew word updated Information Tool & four linked lexicons => https://community.logos.com/forums/p/193953/1147958.aspx#1147958
Keep Smiling [:)]
