Support for basic users and reformed statements of faith
As requested on the original post, I am reposting here and unabashedly begging for votes. It is small things such as this that will make Logos appealing to the average church goer. Don't just complain about no entry level Logos ... put your votes on features that appeal to the average user even if you personally will never use them.
Currently when one is doing a serious study of a Bible Passage, the Confessional documents section leads me to references in Confessional Statements such as The Westminster Confession of Faith, the Heidelberg Catechism, Credo of the People of God, The Baptist Faith and Message, etc. However, much of my reading (and I suspect all of many users' reading) is not serious research and does not easily lead them to references in the particular confessional documents of interest to them.
I suggest that visual filters be built where the confessional documents are individually selectable. Bible references in the selected confessional document would be underlined in the Bible text. Mouse over the underline line, the Information Panel, and the Context Menu would show the references that are linked to and provide the link that opens the Confessional document. The reason for the filter rather than simply a label is to make the link passively available to the user - it is present to them if they want to see it - rather than requiring the user to take positive action to see data that is quite sparse. In other words, show me, don't make me ask.
Why? because Bible references that appear in the Confession have importance in my faith and some inherent meaning implied by the Confession.
Please vote at Confessional Bible Study Filter | Faithlife Many Christians have confessional documents so help your fellow Christian even if you don't use them. Also note the usefulness of this feature to new Christians.
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."

In the short term, There are public notebooks that insert note icons for passages referred t in the individual confessions. I hide those notebooks in my desktop Logos as I’m not currently using them but the icons show up in iOS app.
The Visual Filter approach suggested would only work in Desktop, is that’s what is wanted??

It would be a fantastic feature if it were implemented. I would like it very much.

This would be great. I would love to see it activated. I voted and hopefully it will come to be in the software.
