How do I search for Partially Owned Series?

I see old forum comments on searching for partially owned series, but if there's a way to do this, either on the Logos.com website or in a Library pane in the Windows app, I haven't found it. Looks like such a search feature has come and gone a couple of times. If somebody can point the way to this, I would truly appreciate it, and I'm thinking Faithlife will too by the time I'm done!

    Mark introduced that feature a couple years back. It was in the Logos.com top-left selector for 'All', 'Owned', 'Unowned'. When they updated the software, it left for better pastures.

    The only way I know, now, is to search for a desired commentary, 'Unowned' (Logos.com). Which is not particularly good … brings in the packages, etc. … which one might actually want.

    Thanks! So I wasn't missing anything. Logos is good about notifying me of pending releases in series I own, but it would be nice if there was an easier way to check than series by series as you suggest - which is what I've been doing.

    In Library, you identify unowned (e.g. subscription) books with type:bible-commentary license:temp {Series Any}. Then sort by Series.

    Thank you, but that gives me only books in which I have a temporary license - presumably under my Premium subscription. What I'm looking for is a query that will show (for example) the zillion Anchor Yale Bible books I don't own, given own some but not all. This query gets me a bunch of Barnes Notes and Spurgeon Commentary, two series in which I don't own any permanent licenses. But I'm hoping that a query along the lines of what you suggest will get me there. Thank you for replying!
