Using PB's with Faithlife Community Reading Plan

Alright, I know I can create a reading plan, based off my PB and share the reading plan on Faithlife, but as of yet, I see no way to upload my PB into the cloud so that I can have it available on Faithlife with the reading plan. If this is available and I missed it sorry, if it is not available and there is a workaround I would be happy to hear it. I know I can upload the documents into Faithlife, but I don't know how to connect them with the reading plan.

    My understanding is that as of now, pb source files (docx files) can be shared.  However, they have to be compiled by each user, and when compiled it gets a new random id, and so is a different book as far as Logos is concerned.  Until there is a way to sync compiled books and then share them with other users, I see no way to do this.  Reports from the public beta is that the first evidence of this is there - but it has not been implemented yet...

    Thank You Ken, I will keep coming back to this. It has been talked about for awhile but for me it is frustrating. I love Faithlife, I love Logos. As a pastor however, I want to be able to compile a book (or study as it is) and then share a reading plan with my people. They do not all have Logos and cannot compile it. I also would like for them to be able to read it through Faithlife and Biblia. These things are slowing down my ability to use Faithlife.

    It isn't ideal, but they can download the engine and compile the .docx file. I wouldn't recommend this for your congregation, but it would be doable for a leadership team.

    Yeah, that is pretty much the problem. I have been experimenting by making Bible studies that operate on tablets and other smart devices. If I could streamline this and put my Bible studies in Logos and then distribute via Faithlife, it would be great, and I would spend more time learning the PBB, but until that happens the PBB is not a very useful tool for me.
