How do I make parallel resource views and collections work together?
I know that we can find parallel resources through the left option on the Home tab of the new search bar. I found this post, and it was helpful:
However, there is also the Add Parallel Text. I am wanting to be able to look at a collection and select one book from that to view side-by-side with the open book, whether it be another Bible, or two commentaries side-by-side. When I go to Add Parallel Text and choose a collection, it wants to open every book in that collection, essentially making everything unreadable.
Is there any way to do this? And I really hope this question makes sense. If there is another post on this, please point me in that direction.
Thank you.

Appears that is the only way it works. I tried MyTag:CommentaryTechnical, and got the same result. Being able to select individual resources from such a selection would be a valuable improvement for Logos to implement.

Dave gave the correct analysis of the current capability of Logos. You can't have the commentaries of your collection speread out in Multiview, but you can select them individually in a custom passage guide. apologize if I gave you false hope.

There might be a suggestion already there, but I didn't find one. So, here's my suggestion link for it:

Sorry I misread the question.

No worries. I didn't even see your original response. I hope you have a good weekend.

Currently, the only way to accomplish this is with a custom passage guide.

The more I read your two posts the more I get confused as to what you want. Are you talking parallel resources, search results, or a multi-view panel?

Here are some screenshots. The first one is what I'm starting with.
I want to be able to then, in the right panel with the commentary (this is not how my Bible study panels look) be able to open one parallel viewed commentary. However, when I go to select one of my collections right now, this is what I get:
In the old // menu, you could select a collection and then go through the resources in that collection, selecting just one to open, and instead of having 5+ open, you would have two side-by-side.
I hope this makes sense.

I have a custom passage guide. How do I do this with a custom passage guide?

Okay, I now understand precisely what you mean. I don't recall ever being able to do what you are wanting to do - which probably explains partially why I kept getting confused. I have no idea how common this use case is but, if there is a demand, there's no particular downside. Go for it in garnering votes.

The Commentaries section provides results from all commentaries in a collection, so you can open them one by one "in parallel" (which add further confusion as to whether the OP wanted Multi-view Books "in parallel" or select "Parallel Books" from a collection via the newfangled name of Change Book.

So, how you were able to view commentaries within collections through the old // parallel view is also no longer an option? Even to have it open in a new tab within Logos? It's now only available through a custom passage guide and book prioritization?

As I stated above, you use the newfangled Change Book
You still have to tick the box for "Show in parallel books" in the Collection, else you get "All parallel books".

Yes, but it completely switches the book. I'm looking for a way to bypass using the passage guide and have the new resource open in a different tab.

Then open two tabs with the same base book. Change one tab via parallel books. Leave one the same … Whether you link them via a link set is your choice.
