Option to disable Factbook

Dear Logos,
I have been using the app for years, and one of my favorite features is being able to tap and hold a word and the lexical helps window pops up. Now when I do that, the Factbook also pops up. However, the Factbook pops up first. I know that Logos’s new Factbook seems to be the greatest thing since sliced bread and y’all are really pushing this feature hard—in Logos 9 desktop app and everywhere else. To me, it seems to be a tool for those who don’t want to do real research themselves. I am sure it has its benefits.
Is there a way that the App users can either 1) turn this feature off completely or 2) have this pop up as a secondary window instead of a primary? When I am looking up a word, I don’t want an encyclopedia article that has been curated for me. I just want the lexicon of choice to give me some definitions and allow me to jump to a word study.
Also, this time, when I looked up “booty” in the OT, I got an article for “John Booty” rather than a lexical definition. Not very helpful at all, if you ask me.
I am sure many users love the new Factbook feature. But other users (me included) spend more time turning this feature OFF (because it defaults to being ON with every resource I open in the desktop app). There needs to be a universal switch for this feature, both in the iOS app and the Desktop app.
Thank you.
