Greek word used figuratively
How can I find when a Greek word is used figuratively? I am looking at πρόβατον in John 21. "Lamb" is indicated by ἀρνίον, whereas πρόβατον indicates "sheep".

This is a case where the Help file gets you headed in the right direction. Read Westbury, Joshua R., Jeremy Thompson, Jimmy Parks, and Kristopher A. Lyle, eds. Lexham Figurative Language of the Bible Glossary. Bellingham, WA: Faithlife, 2016. and use the Context Menu (right click menu).

Look for a label "Figurative" in the Context menu. Labels have a distinctive 'bullet' shaped icon
