Is 'Equivalent Resources' still a thing.

I seem to have some of the resources listed in the Help item, but the equivalence button doesn't show on them.
(My principle interest here is not Bible versions/texts, rather it is the writings of early Christians, eg, Augustine.)

Logos 9.15.0.0005. (w/Verbum hooks.)

    Yes, but equivalent resources only applies to a limited number of resources:

    Books known to have Equivalent Resources

    King James Version 1900 Complete Word Study Bible: KJV The Holy Bible: KJV (AV)
    Logos LXX Lexham Interlinear LXX (Rahlfs)
    AFAT Lexham Hebrew Interlinear BHS SESB 2.0 BHW 4.18 BHS/WIVU
    NA27 NA27 Interlinear USB4 USB4 Interlinear

    I have suggested additional equivalent resources Add equivalent resources | Faithlife without response. For cases such as Augustine, usually creating a collection to use as parallel resources is the way to go as they are not multiple copies of the same text but rather multiple translations/transcriptions of the same base text.

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    Thank you MJ.

    'Fortunately', I have none of these constellations.
    (It would be nice as the apparently rare situation arises, that equivalents' documentation would tell us with which.)

    Thx for the collection comment.

    We've only ever tagged a few resources as "equivalent," namely a handful of Bibles. Equivalent means "exactly the same text", not merely "the same text in a different translation", so I wouldn't expect it to be useful for early Christian writings. For that, the parallel resources menu is likely to be much more useful.
