Will Logos Be Updating Their "How To" Resources for the Latest Logos Version?

In the past there were useful webinars to help a novice like myself learn the basics about using Logos. But I don't see where those resources have been updated to reflect the new versions (in my case Logos Premium) that include "AI" features and additional tools. I use Logos on a Mac and on my iPad Pro. Are updated training/how-to resources available? If so, where do I find them?
My personal needs are for basic, personal, in-depth Bible Study. I also use Logos for my devotionals and for a deeper look from a passage used in one of our weekly messages at church. I have the Logos Premium license.
Thanks!

I am including three links that contain updated videos and instructions that I hope will prove useful to you. They are not specific to Logos Premium, however.

I followed your Mobile App link, which led to another set of mobile links which led to:

I started a similar thread on this yesterday. Hopefully there will be some official response. On the subscription page it does very very very clearly state that there are training videos for each of the three tiers, but near as any of us can tell those don't exist.
You may have to look elsewhere.
The other day I signed up for a 1 month subscription to LearnLogos (not official by any means). I got a coupon for a free training of my choosing. He also has a Merry Christmas coupon code that's good for 1 free course (2 if you are a subscriber). The training courses seem to be 40-70 minutes long - far more in depth than the 3 minute ones above.
Some of them are freely available on their Youtube (and others have the first 20 minutes or so available).
I have watched two so far, and have been very pleased. From what I understand he actually made training videos as a Logos employee for much earlier versions.
I do not understand at all why Logos does not make videos like these available for people - if people knew how to use their software more efficiently then they are far more likely to buy more stuff and tell others. But it seems that most of it Logos wants to hide all the training behind a paywall and have you pay an additional subscription to MP Seminars.
The current "Webinars" are a mess. They are already recorded, but you can't just watch them. You have to register for them, and many of them are only offered weeks away. And it just seems that this is all so that they can try to put you on the hook to buy more stuff while they got you.
Most of the "on demand" Webinars don't exist. And by the thing in the right corner, you'd think there's 78 (or 81) of them, but no, if you click on that, it will only show 12 with no option to view more.
And for the majority of them, if you click on them, they are no longer available.
And if you select one of the upcoming one, some of them are for nearly a month out. And these are already pre-recorded videos!
Overall I have been extremely disappointed with the training (or, rather, the lack thereof) Logos provides. It really seems like they are just shooting themselves in the foot.
Just recently I have become more interested in studying the Dead Sea Scrolls, for example. There is a course on it, but that doesn't show you at all how to study it in Logos, it more is just a history of them (still interesting by the way). And Logos has several Dead Sea Scroll databases. But there's no training on how to use them. I e-mailed the guy at LearnLogos and he sent me a free 10 minute video he made a while ago on how to do it. That was awesome. I'm still on the fence of whether or not I want to buy the Dead Sea Scroll database - but I can tell you for sure that without seeing his video I certainly would not because I wouldn't know how to make use of it.

If you click on View more, scroll a bit, and click on the down-facing arrow, you'll see more videos.

Biblia Plus?? First time I'm seeing this one. But is it still available? Doesn't look so. Logos seems to have more 'hidden' stuff than you can shake a stick at.
