Configuring the Insights Panel [v. 33, beta 4]

The insight panel currently offers the option of configuring a study Bible, a commentary, table of contents and cross-references. I think it's a great idea, but I'd like to make two suggestions for improvement.

(1) For the purpose of the tool, I think it would be better to have the option of viewing at least two study bibles at the same time, as their commentaries are summarized.

(2) There could also be an option to choose other cross-references or concordances. For example: "The Treasury of Scripture Knowledge" is translated as "Concordância Exaustiva do Conhecimento Bíblico".

Users with basic packages are unlikely to have "New Testament Use of the Old Testament" or "Old Testament Quotations and Allusions in the New Testament". Having the possibility to choose other concordances or cross-references would be great, especially for those who have more options in their Logos library.

Another idea just occurred to me. Couldn't the insight have another section to include textual variants? It would be interesting for me to have this option too.

Someone from Logos would need to comment for a definitive response.

But my understanding of the Insights Panel is that it is primarily aimed at those who want quick lookup of information and - particularly - those who may not have the experience of using Logos to create their own layouts with Guides etc. For those who do have that experience, creating layouts with multiple Study Bibles, a textual variant section, etc is probably the way to achieve this additional, customised, information.

Yes, you're right. I do it regularly, especially with study bibles. The idea came to me because the panel is already automatic and I don't have to think and act too much to get the (main, not exhaustive) variant information. This would only serve to make it easier for us to notice the fact and, from there, to go back if we need to delve deeper. In that sense, it would still be an insight for me.
