Hi,
I don't see any import tool listed on "What's Missing" for collections and resource associations....do I need to redo them all?  That was a job and a half the first time around - I hope there is some easy way to do this. ;-)

By grace alone,

    Collections, yes, you will have to redo them. But collections are done much differently now. I suggest you read my post hear and ask any questions you may have after.

    Resource associations, no, because they no longer exist. They are now managed by Logos.

    Collection import is deliberately NOT supported since collection management is so different in 4.0.  Take a look at the Dynamic Collections video to see what I mean, but the new collections are much faster to set up and keep themselves up to date.

    Resource associations was a powerful tool, but underutilized.  So, they tried to make it easier.  You now pick your Prioritized resources and it will try to look things up in those books first, in order.  There is an advanced tab so that you can make BDB ignore English references, for example (this was more of a problem before it was recently rebuilt).  My biggest advice for this is to make sure you have your Bibles listed first.

    The video is called "Dyanamic, Rule-based collections" and is on http://www.logos.com/videos.
