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.

I found the solution to this. Tap and hold on a word in the app. When the two Windows pop up (Fact Book is first), slide over to the word lookup panel and tap the three dots and select “Prefer word lookup”.0
