Not satisfied with the new toolbar - hard to find Propositional Outlines and Discourse features

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Not sure why Chat sent me to Community - I don't want to talk to users, I want to talk to Logos.

The toolbar has been changed making it harder to find what used to be easy.

There was a 3 dot triangle symbol to get to the Propositional Outline. Now you have to stop, stop thinking about Propositional Outlines, and somehow remember to find and Click on Formatting. Wait, you're not done. Now you also have to find and Click on Reformat. That process is much more interruptive when you are doing Bible study than clicking on 3 dots

I also can't find a simple way to change the magnification.

I also can't find where to go for Parallel Resources

There is not one. Logos has heard the complaints and will provide a solution.

I also can't find…

Since the old toolbar is obviously still there (for non subscribers for example), how about making it optional for subscribers? People might not want to get used to change, especially if they used the old navigation for decades - even if the new navigation is much better.

I have been asking consistently about this and was just recently informed that it is likely in the future (due to the cost of maintaining both) that the Classic Toolbar will be deprecated and the Dynamic will be forced on everyone, including non-subscribers who don't want it….

My personal frustration is that unless there is drastic improvement, I have to deal with inefficient use and/or change my layouts for cost savings, but they want me to subscribe for two years for Feature Parity for a Feature I already own…. If you are going to force this toolbar on me for cost savings, at least don't force me to pay for Feature Parity (at a minimum let Android Users who already own it swap the iOS license for the Android - which I would gladly do)

I have no problem paying for Bible Study Builder and possibly Features that are to come, but I do have a problem with being charged for a Feature I already paid for - if paying for Feature Parity was the consistent model for the past two decades that would be one thing - but iOS users got the Parity included with their purchase… Us Android users…. Pay up, because we have to make our Subscription numbers look good LOL

I am not ready to give up on the new toolbar yet, but I agree. I have literally spent hours hunting for something, propositional outlines being one of the items I was looking for.

Thank you MJ. I couldn't really understand your second suggestion, but this link (https://support.logos.com/hc/en-us/articles/29439681440525-Where-do-I-find-on-the-dynamic-toolbar#Interlinears ) given by Andrew and Graham was super helpful.

Thank you also for showing me how to access the interlinear.

I agree with others about the inefficiency of the dynamic tool bar. At first, I thought it was great but as I started studying I just could not find what I needed and in some cases it was hard to figure out the rational for putting a certain feature under a particular category. I do hope they streamline this in some way that is more helpful.
