I own resources in English and German e.g. by Irenaeus, but they appear under differnt names. Is it possible to merge these?
You need to explain what you mean by "merge". e.g. you can relate them by putting them in the same Series or by tagging them.

I would like Logos to decide for one version of an author's name, e.g. "Irenaeus Lugdunensis (140-202)", and assign it to each and all works by this author, so that only this one version shows up in my library containing all of the author's works (see green arrow in the screenshot below taken from an university OPAC).
Other versions of the name could be carried in other data fields (see red arrow in the screenshot below).
Citavi, a third party library program, allows the user to merge names by himself:
I would prefer the first solution (done by Logos), but I would be also happy with the second one (done by the user).

I think a better solution was visible in the older Factbook format and in the handling of Bible book names - the recognition of synonyms via a reference table. Using a fixed name doesn't work well across alphabets and writing systems, Think Asian market.
I like MJ's solution better - and actually Logos uses a unique numerical identifier per author (as can be seen from shop searches) and thus would be able to facilitate that easily.

Sorry, I don't understand. What are you pointing out with "that"?
the merging of different author names under one ID. It would be easy if the ID is a (meaningless and already existing) number and all spellings and variants of the name are just attributes of that ID.
In the two resources: MHQ (The Meaning of the Holy Qur'an, Abdullah Yusuf Ali) and The Quran with Christian Commentary (Gordon Nickel), when adding an anchor, I don't see Reference as an option and Active Reference isn't available on mobile. The Reference field seems to recognize: 1. canonical holy bible references 2.…
Editing or writing a sermon can be done on an iPad, desk top, or laptop. Why not add the same functions to the mobile phone? So often I have an idea for a sermon I am currently working on and would like to immediately enter the idea into the developing sermon using my mobile phone, however, this feature is not possible.…
I’ve been using the mobile app for years, and the addition of the floating insights button is making it really hard to continue. When I’m reading a passage on my iPhone, my eyes are constantly drawn down to it. And please correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think it added any functionality? I am conditioned to get to the…
I use the Bible Study tool regularly. Please add that the inserted Bible passages also include the verse references as an option.
I add all metadata such as date, Bible text, etc. to my Bible studies. Why can't I find them in the homily manager? (Or is it named sermon manager in english?)
