L/V 10 Tip of the Day #75 Home page Excerpts
Another tip of the day (TOTD) series for Logos/Verbum 10. They will be short and often drawn from forum posts. Feel free to ask questions and/or suggest forum posts you'd like to see included. Adding comments about the behavior on mobile and web apps would be appreciated by your fellow forumites. A search for "L/V 10 Tip of the Day site:community.logos.com" on Google should bring the tips up as should this Reading List within the application.
This tip is inspired by yesterday's post L/V 10 Tip of the Day #74 Facilitate Serendipitous Discovery - Logos Forums and rumination upon the restoration of the excerpts option by Daniel Di Bartolo in A Suggestion for 8.1 Homepage - Logos Forums

Because your Logos library contains thousands of resources, its easy to miss out on great content. We’ve created a database of passages from your library, so every time you go to your Logos homepage you see excerpts from great books you might otherwise have missed. Because we’ve taken the time to create this dataset, you can rest assured that you will get the most out of your Logos library.
The dataset lacks documentation. From this I gather that most users using this feature aren't clambering to know the selection criteria for the card data nor the update frequency.
