Hi,
I bought the ESV Study Bible (Bible and Notes), and as I open the book, it only shows the notes and the articles. I don't know how to find the Bible texts. Could you please share with me how to do it?

You set both the ESV and the ESVSB in the same "Set", Set A for example.
Then put the bible in one pane and the ESVSB in the other. They should track each other from then on. That is, if you look up John 3.16 in ESV, the ESVSB will automatically scroll to its entry on John 3.16 too.
Clear as mud?
Thanks for your prompt reply. Yes, I know how to use ESVSB in conjunction with another resource. But it doesn't explain what extra benefit I get by buying Bible plus notes if the Bible cannot be accessed within the ESVSB product in its full version. I have a hard copy of ESVSB, and I wonder if I can see the intertextual notes in the digital version.

@Qian Cenyang the SB is another resource. They are separate. You have to set the Bible up in one pane and the SB in another, and then (as @Genghis says) set them to follow or link them.
They are separate for practical reasons. A lot of users have bought the ESV. It wouldn't make sense to sell them another copy of the ESV just to get the SB notes. So those are sold as a separate resource.
I think the tricky thing is rather Logos does sell the note with the Bible, and this supposedly complete product works the same as the note-only product, that is the Bible+notes shows nothing different from notes-only. I'll let it be.
The reason Logos separates the Bible text and the notes is so we don't have to buy the same Bible multiple times - once for each study Bible. They could extend their dynamic text feature so that the text and notes were reunited within Logos if their contracts permitted it. I don't know if they do. AFAIK it has not been enough of an issue for anyone to make an official suggestion that the Bible text and notes be reunited. You can certainly make the suggestion.
Thank you Smith.

Hello, About 20 years ago, I purchased the MacArthur NT Commentary set from E4. Even though they no longer exist, I had been using the commentary in Logos for years. However, as of about a month ago, I can no longer access some of the commentaries in the set. I still have the CD's, and I tried reinstallilng them, but some…
I just watched a recorded webinar on using Collections. It was a good webinar, and it made me want to start creating and using collections. Unfortunately, I have no idea what I would do with a collection. The webinar demonstrated how a collection could be searched. That is not something I would find useful. What else can…
On the desktop app, I cannot figure out how to have the text scroll smoothly. I have an iPad running iPadOS 16.7.10 (nearly four years old) and it can scroll through the text smoothly, whether it's a Bible or a resource. But on the desktop app, the text skips several lines and it seems to be designed that way. Here's a…

I want to check back and see what I actually paid for in the 2025 researcher library. Now that page does not even exist! How do I know that you actually give me what I paid for? How do I even know what was included? Please, someone from Logos get the page back up for our reference!
