How do I remove the Faithlife Study Bible from Insights and my desktop application?

The first book on insights is always the Faithlife Study Bible and I do not find any options to have a different study bible be a default selection instead.

How do I remove this FSB from appearing all of the time?

    What study Bible do you have prioritized? Put one or more study Bibles above Faithlife Study Bible (the default) - the process is the same as for Bibles. See https://support.verbum.com/hc/en-us/articles/360059077011-What-are-Top-Bibles-and-how-do-I-change-them#:~:text=Verbum%2C%20%22Top%20-,Bibles&text=select%20Top%20-,Bibles&text=in%20a%20-,Bible&text=your%20top%20-,Bibles&text=your%20Top%20-,Bibles&text=change%20the%20-,Bibles

    That does not work or apply.

    The FSB is not in the list of prioritized books.

    The FSB was removed from the desktop application altogether and I would have to download it again to review its contents.

    Any appearance of the "Insights" column always presents the FSB. The study bible of preference then has to be chosen.

    Many might think this is not an issue but it is an issue that should be addressed by Faithlife.

    As helpful as their material might be, its not everyone's preference.

    Are you saying that you have removed the FSB from your device but it still shows up in the Insights panel?

    If so please post a screenshot showing what you are seeing

    Can you put the FSB into your "hidden" books? I've never put a book into hidden books before, so I have no clue how that works exactly.

    Thanks.

    I did not notice an option to 'Hide' the FSB after I deleted the book from my library.

    After selecting a few passages and selecting 'Insights' my preferred 'Study Bible' now appears.

    I find that I have to select "Synchronization" on the left side of the desktop application.

    Until that is done the last prioritized 'Study Bible' will appear.

    That has been my experience.

    Thank you for your help.

    I still think FL shouldn't be messing around with Bibles. Put in a dont-show option and call it a day. Hello.
