I'm hoping that this can be a post where truly great tips are offered concerning Logos 4. Please only offer tips that you have found truly helpful.
The best tips I found are consolidated on the wiki - have a read and let me know what you think.
Best tip: watch the videos. Seriously. All of them.

The videos are too basic and incomplete. I hope Logos posts more in-depth "hoe to" videos in the near future. The one's they have just don't cut it. But I thank you for your suggestion.
Wiki just doesn't ring my bell. I am hoping that there are some beta-users who can really provide some solid "how-to" tips for Logos 4. But I thank you for your reply.

"Turn off the Use Internet option if you are having performance problems."
That's my tip. But truly the wiki is the place to put these things, and there are a bunch there. It's a good list, go read it. No bells needed.
what SPECIFICALLY would you like to see as a topic in a video...?
I'm more than willing to tackle what I can and make one.
In the mean time...here are some vids.

I agree with this completely!!! BIG help!
Steve,
Whoops....then I'd also like to know how to pull this up! [:D]
Hi Philip, I DID find a few usable tips from Wiki. I spoke too soon. I repent in dust and ashes.I am very thankful to you (and others) who are much better versed in Logos 4. You guys are a great help!
I use other Bible study applications in which I can click on a verse and force it to be the current verse. I find that to be handy and intuitive.I just realized that in Logos 4 I can
That makes the clicked-on verse the current verse. And other resources in the link set follow along.That's at least one more click than what I want (and sometimes more, if the right-click menu is not on 'Reference x:xx' to begin with).Once the right-click menu displays, menu options can be accessed with keyboard -- that's handy. up/down arrows go through the options on the right, and 'tab' takes you to the options on the left, where up/down similarly navigate through the options.<originally posted as a response in suggestions>
I would love to hear any tips people might have for working with the cool handouts feature. Is there an easier way to add information to the handouts pages? For instance, if I am teaching through 1 John and want to add some information about the Gnostics in my handout, what is the easiest way to go about it? If I select the "add item" option and type they keyword "gnostics" in, I only get one article which is not really what I am looking for. How can I search through more of my library to import information into these handouts without copying and pasting information as a "blank item" (which does not seem to cite the source). One more thing....is there a way to limit the pages of the handouts without having to individually delete every item in the search you do not want to incorporate?
Thanks!
Chad
Sadly the handout feature is very limited and has been roundly criticized in previous posts. For all practical purposes, until Logos updates it, it serves no functional purpose.
I agree Randy....
I started this thread, and am hoping we can get back on track on sharing "Great tips for Logos 4." Can we get back on focus? I think this thread could really help a lot of people. Blessings to all, Steve Spencer

YOu can also do that in L4 - just click on it!
Not only that; when you have BDAG open and you click on a word that you've searched...the verse changes and BDAG's "reference highlight" changes also....that's nice.
Hi Robert ...
I'm not sure what you mean by this ... where am I clicking on a word I've searched? Was it a Greek search?
ThanksRichard
