It just occurred to me, If I own a book in my library, and that same book goes through an update, i.e. 2nd edition, does my logos book get updated or do I need to purchase the newest edition?
In general, we would need to purchase the updated edition as it is considered to be a separate resource.
I think there are cases where there have been updates to Bibles and these have been automatically applied.
It depends on the publisher. Most of the books I have purchased over the years that later came out when 2nd, 3rd, editions, etc., especially where there was a major ISBN number change, I had to re-buy the new versions. The publisher treats the Logos editions the name as print editions.
Occasionally you may find a publisher who releases a minor update/refresh to a book and pushes out the updates free of charge in the Logos editions. I've had that happen with a few of my Logos books.
One area where you may generally receive a free upgrade is eBook editions to Logos-tagged editions of the same book. There are books I bought under Vyrso/Faithlife eBooks/Logos eBooks that later upgraded the same title to Logos-tagged editions, and most of those I received a free upgrade to. This especially happened to a lot of my books during the Wordsearch transition.
Thanks a bunch for the reply! Now I know what to watch for.
Thanks for the clarification on this !! appreciate it.

On the desktop app, I find that when I get a panel filling half of a window (now with a "+" on the other side), it is difficult to get rid of that blank area.

Quick question: where does the Lexham English Bible actually place Romans 16:25–27? I don’t see it in the main text (not at the end of ch. 14 or 16, and not even in brackets). Is it only in the textual notes/apparatus, or am I missing it somewhere in Logos?
I found 4 volumes of Ancient Literature for New Testament Studies (Permanent License) in my library, "Last Updated" 2025-12-2, and I haven't figured out why. It isn't in my order history, nor did I find it via a (nonexhaustive) survey of libraries that I've purchased over the years. The individual volumes are currently…
I recently read through and annotated the Popular Patristics edition of Athanasius' On the Incarnation: Translation. However when I go to the notes and click the anchor link to take me the the highlighted location, Logos will open the Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers volume by Schaff. I'd like for the edition I highlighted…
