Opening a second instance of a tool in Logos
If I have a Louw-Nida tab open in Logos desktop, and want to open another instance of Louw-Nida (instead of having the original window recycle), how do I do that? Someone said it wasn't possible, but that didn't sound right to me.

Simply open it again. Nothing special.

Just adding. You can open a lot of things you're not expecting. I open multiple library windows. I have 4 text comparison panels on my layout (by language). Of course multiple search panels. Oh, and several CitedBy panels.

So that works. Thanks! However, When I right-click on a word in one Bible tab and select "Louw and Nina," it still refreshes the same Louw and Nina tab, even though I have another one open. I grouped them and that didn't make a difference. It always refreshes the same tab.

You can right click on the panel tab and select the Duplicate option.
There are some tools (your specific example seems to be a book, not a tool) that don't support multiple instances, and in that case, the Duplicate option will not be available. Program Settings is an example of such a tool.Andrew Batishko | Logos software developer

Sorry. This is the result of being a long-time Accordance user. In Accordance everything is either a Text (Bible) or a Tool (commentaries, lexicons, basically everything else).

If you have multiple instances of something like a "Louw Nida" panel open, then it's going to switch to and navigate the most recent panel you accessed. However, you can use the panel menu to set "Send hyperlinks here", and then the application will prefer that panel for handling this.

Go to the panel menu of the LN tab you want to refresh and select "send hyperlinks here", then this tab will refresh when you look up LN and leave the others alone. If you want to keep the tab in the position it was, simply duplicate it - the duplicate will not inherit the "send hyperlinks"-setting and stay.
Have joy in the Lord!

One final option. Almost any time you do something to open a panel you can hold down the shift key when you click the button/link. That will force a new panel to be opened in a floating window.

That worked! Thanks NB.Mick and everyone for the super-fast responses!
