Selecting only particular collections when making a new passage guide

I have about 15 collections in my Logos 4. I want to make a passage guide using only particular collections not all of them. However, even when I use settings under collections in the making up the new passage guide, I cannot select more than one collection. Each single collection replaces the former single collection. My choice is either to select only one collection then or all of them.

Can anyone help me on this?

I am able to do this, but I'm using 4.0a Beta3.

Here are the steps I'm following:

From Guides open "Make New Guide Template"
"Bible Reference" is selected by default (Collections are not listed under "Bible Word").
From the list of options on the left select "Collections" a dialog box pops up on the right with the first (alphabetical) collection selected.
From the Collections drop down on the right, select the collection I want.
From the list on the left select Collections again, and a second dialog box pops up.
I can select as many collections as I want, new dialog boxes appear each time.

Is that not what you're seeing?

Are you wanting the combined results of two collections in a single Passage Guide section? If so the only way to do this is to make a collection that combines the collections you want to use. Create a new collection, click open, drag the collection name of the first collection you want to combine to the "+ These Resources" section. Repeat for each collection you want in your report. You will hear this referred to as "nested collections." Then simply assign this new collection to the section in the passage guide. Let me know if my instructions are not understandable :-)

Yes, that worked. Thank you very much!

Can you help me with one more step? When I run My Passage Guide it does now list my 10-12 different collections all divided as I want them. However, the name of the particular collection does not come up in the results box on the left (it just says "Collections") until I click in the settings box. Then it shows the particular name of the collection on the left side ("Spurgeon Collections"). Is there a way to make the partcular name of the collection automatically come up in the results box when I run My Passage Guide?

Thank you.

It's a bug. It's currently fixed in the 4.0a beta. And will eventually be fixed for non-beta users when they release 4.0a.

Inspired by this thread I tried adding a few Collections to My Passage Guide. I am surprised to see that the results I get do not reflect my prioritization of resources, and that the results from individual resources are not grouped together. Are the results perhaps coming from some kind of relevancy algorithm?

It's the same results as if you did a Basic search for the passage on the Collection. They are listed by section and prioritized by the number of hits (I think).
