Follow Only for desktop
Please add the Follow Only option for links to the desktop. I use this option all the time on the mobile version. While I use Multiview in my desktop layouts, this is not a sufficient substitute for the Follow Only option—it's complentary (both Multiview and Follow Only are necessary in my opinion). I find myself having to turn off a link for a resource in my layout and then turn the link for the resource back on as a poor person's substitute for Follow Only.

P.S. I would have thought this would already have been a feedback item, but the Search option on the website didn't show me an existing item for this

Option to link books A,B,C,D etc. as lead only or follow only

I’ve been using the follow feature, particularly “follow only” with commentaries, and it’s been helpful. One point of frustration, however, is that highlighting also applies to the follow only. As this seems to be predominantly used for bible and commentary, there are times I want to highlight my bible but not my commentary and vice versa, but I don’t want to have to keep disabling then enabling the follow. It would be helpful to either make it where follow only doesn’t highlight both or give an additional option to not highlight along with what it’s linked to.

@Jesse Freeman To confirm, when you highlight a verse in a Bible without having a commentary linked with "Follow only", that highlight does not get applied to the commentary?

Sorry if I wasn't clear. My thought is that it should not highlight the commentary if you have "Follow Only" selected. That feature seems to be advertised predominantly for a commentary along with a Bible, and it's rare that you want to simultaneously highlight a verse and then the large corresponding commentary section on that passage. It makes more sense to highlight both if it's a full link. But "Follow Only" should give you the option of following without sharing highlights. Thanks!0

@Ali Pope I realized that it’s not the follow feature that shares the highlight. It’s having the Bible and commentary open at the same time either by splitting or in different tabs. If they are both open in the same layout, they share highlights. Not sure if this is a feature or a bug, but it’s frustrating nonetheless. I don’t always want to highlight my commentary and bible the same, but I do want to have them share a screen so that I can read them together. I am using an iPad, but I believe it does the same on mobile.0

I've never set up a link set in my iPad app, so I never knew this was a thing before seeing this. Yes, please bring this to the desktop app!

I can’t believe it’s not butter, I mean I can’t believe it’s not on the desktop.

Because multi-view performs much the same function but in a different manner, I suspect this requires greater user interest than if the feature was entirely missing.

OK if there’s only two things you do today, make this the other one 🤣

I am puzzled by this. Mind you I don't use the mobile app but this should be controlled by whether the note is applied to selection or reference just as it is on the desktop. It shouldn't be tied to the display choices.
