So, I noticed that the description for the Referent Data and Reported Speech Datasets that they are for the New Testament. Is that really the New Testament only? If so, is there any plans for expanding these two features to the Old Testament as well? Personally, I'd like them expanded to include the Old Testament. I tend to do study in both Testaments quite frequently, so to have these two Datasets expanded to include the Old Testament would be very helpful.

    Yes, we do plan to expand these to include the OT, but I don't have a date for when that will be available.

    We wanted to be clear in the comparison chart about what is actually included in the packages right now..

    Thank you for that very quick response! And I'm glad that those features will be expanded in the future. And I'm assuming that when those two features are updated, they will be sent as an update to the Logos users who have those two Datasets?

    I'm always on shaky ground contradicting Bradley, but ... both of these features already exist for the OT, assuming you have a reverse interlinear. The referent data is what Clause Search is searching, and is what you see on the context menu. If you select Reported Speech under Visual Filters, you'll see a megaphone icon for speech, and hovering over that icon will show the speaker (clicking will take you to their Bible Facts page).
