How do I see what just updated?

Logos told me there was some updated resources to download, and it downloaded them. How do I see what they are?  Is there a way to browse or search on most recently updated?

I have Logos 5 on Windows 7.

    After the update, go to the home page. The resources and/or the version update will be listed there.

    There are two ways.  The list of updates are available on the Logos Home Page.  Alternatively, the library can be sorted by the "Last Updated" column.  If that column isn't visible, then right-click on the column headers to get the menu to turn it on.

    Thanks Todd - - the "Last Updated" column did the trick.

    The Home page doesn't list updated resources, even when I go to "Customize" and  uncheck everything except "Updated resources."  I don't see a list of updated resources, I still see the verse of the day and the book of the day, even after unchecking those.

    I use the last updated column in most cases, since I rarely open the home page.  However, the home page will show updates to things that aren't in the library (such as internal databases), so I check there if I don't see any updates in the library.

    The home page should show updates. I don't know why yours isn't.  Make sure you've restarted Logos after it told you new resources were available.  The home page shows items in chronological order--check the other pages if the home page has more items than will fit on first screen.  Only recent updates show on the home page, BTW.

    Example:

    The home page should show updates.

    The Home Page also shows updates that are not in your Library, so if you receive and install an update and find nothing new in your Library look on the Home Page. Examples are program updates (as Danny pointed out) and database updates.

    Logos has done a good job in helping us stay on top of what is happening 'under the hood' with our software.

    Interesting -- I just noticed on my laptop the Logos home page shows the list of recently updated resources. but my desktop still does not. The desktop version:

    Logos Bible Software 5.2 SR-5 (5.2.0.0121)
    Copyright 2000–2014 Logos Bible Software

    I'll have to check when I get home what Logos version the laptop has, but it must be up to date, it just updated this morning.

    Today, both my laptop and my desktop are on version Logos Bible Software 5.2 SR-6 (5.2.0.0136), the desktop still does not show the list of recently updated resources on the Home page even though that option is checked in the Customize dialog. But the laptop does. Both computers have Windows 7, the Desktop has Windows 7 pro, the laptop Windows 7 Home Premium.

    Hi Steven

    Just checking - do you know that the downloads were delivered to the desktop?

    In the Library window when you sort by "Last Updated" are the resources you would expect to see shown as updated recently?

    Hmm -- I see now I have a different problem. On my desktop, the latest updated resource is Feb 6. Twice now, I have typed "update resources" in the command bar at the top, Logos says there are updates, and I should click the link to restart. I do that, Logos restarts, but nothing was updated. The newest resources are still Feb 6.  My laptop showed several resource updates on Feb 18 or Feb 19.

    I do that, Logos restarts, but nothing was updated.

    In which case please enable diagnostic logging as per http://wiki.logos.com/Diagnostic_Logging

    Then:

    • type "update resources"
    • click the link to restart
    • quit Logos
    • update the logs to this thread

    EDIT: I see that Steven has uploaded logs to a new thread - http://community.logos.com/forums/t/81436.aspx - so lets continue the discussion there
