I am using the Sermon Builder but the Sermon Assistant icon does not appear anywhere in the dialog box. How can I activate the Sermon Assistant?
Do you have a Logos Pro or higher subsciption?
And which platform are you running Logos on?
Hi Graham - I have the Logos Pro subscription and am using Windows 11.
If you have access to it….
I cannot find what was in the Logos 10 Full Feature Sets…were sermon builder and manager included in those? Also, if he's got a subscription that gets him sermon builder, then he should have manager, as well.
Hi Jonathan and Graham - I do have access to Sermon manager and opened it and selected the sermon I am working on today. The Sermon manager then opened that sermon in the Sermon Builder but the problem remains that the icon for the Sermon Assistant does not appear. By the way, I have had access to the Sermon Assistant in the past and was able to receive several suggested outlines for sermons I was building. However, now that feature seems to be gone with no icon to open it.
Oh wait . . . I just double checked to see what Logos I am running and it says "Logos Premium." I was running Logos Pro but something must have happened. Let me try and solve the problem and get back to Pro. That must be the problem.
That would explain it - Premium or higher is required for this.
I just looked at my order history and see that I ordered Logos Pro on 12/18 but then on 1/9/2025 I ordered Logos Premium. I thought that I was ordering the two year subscription for Logos Pro, but somehow I got Premium instead. Now I need to figure out how to correct this. Here's a screen shot of the mess:
Also, if he's got a subscription that gets him sermon builder, then he should have manager, as well.
@Jonathan Bradley - Rich isn't asking about the sermon manager but for the sermon assistant feature within the sermon builder.
Also check to see if you have a legacy package of Silver or above.

I recommend contacting Customer Services. They should be able to advise on this.
@Donovan R. Palmer
Silver or higher will give you the sermon builder - including preaching mode - but won't provide access to the sermon assistant features. That requires a Premium or higher subscription
Oh yeah… missed that. Thanks.
I am grateful to each of you for jumping in and helping. I fixed the problem with my subscription and am back on Pro. Now I do have the Sermon Assistant. All is well. Thank you again.
Wow…brain fart on my end.
I had a brain fart and read sermon assistant as manager.
Yeah, sometimes the terminology in Logos gets muddled in my mind. The problem is, it is not the only knowledge management information tool I use, and ALL of them are bringing in AI, making changes in their offerings (including subscriptions), and evolving their ability to interconnect.
The spell check function still does not work in my Sermon documents. I am running Logos Pro 45.1.2. It seems like it has been fixed for others, why is it still not working for me? Thank-you.
I'm working on a Bible translation. It's stored in USFM format (Paratext). What's the simplest way to get that into Logos as a personal book? As far as I can see, Logos only accepts .docx files.
Typically as I read and reread a passage and take notes , the notes are in disarray. Is there a way to rearrange the notes in an order that will reflect the order that I want to present them to my class? Thanks, Tom
I just downloaded a bunch of translations in different languages. However, for 90% of them, it is basically impossible to know what I own since the language is listed so oddly. Really all the Bibles were like this, but as an example, the NT in the language "Borna" is categorized by Logos as the language "bwo" on the…
I have an Windows 10, i7-6700 @ 3.4Ghz with 32 GB RAM, and Logos installed on an SSD (ver 45.1.2). I have 250 Mbps download and 36 Mbps upload internet performance. Yet I'm having significant Logos latency. Sometimes the app just hangs. I notice it when I'm typing in Sermon Editor and the words are noticeably slower than…
