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 Notes, when I type a full Scripture reference, it automatically turns it into a clickable link. Can you also add the feature to take, for example, v. 10 or vv. 10-15 and turn that into a clickable link? You can key off the book, chapter, and verse the note is attached to. If there are multiple Anchors, take the first…
Would it be possible to change the Bible translation heading from (AMP (2015)) to (AMP 2015)? The extra parantheses in the original heading looks cluttered.
I would like the RefTagger ToolTip to print more words before giving up and "last word…". Some others even resort to a scroll bar allowing the viewing of much more. Does anyone have any suggestions, or know of any place I could get some help? Thanx for your time.
Interesting (really bewildered) that Sermon Manager does not list Pentecost as a holiday. I would think that would be an important date in the church calendar. Sermon Manager does list Black Friday and Tax day as holidays, but I wouldn't really consider them holidays, certainly not something important for the church…
Please add 'Downloaded Books' to the Study Assistant Collection Picker. I have downloaded the best part of my library (most scholarly resources, most reputable publishers, most useful reference works, etc.) and I have the rest in the cloud. I would love to be able to more easily query my downloaded books rather than having…
