What Do the Arrows Do?

DMB

I'm going to have to risk a 'snarky' answer (as described on another thread today).

Quite often I try to page my Logos iOS app vertically (instead of horizontally).  It pops up a little window which on the top line has back and forward arrows, with the page number in between.

Having gotten really tired of that popup, I decided to check into lemonaide; maybe the arrows do something.

Sometimes they're grey'd out. Sometimes one is, the other isn't. I thought maybe next page, favorite, highlight, what? I seemed like it might be the maximum progress until the maximum progress got grey'd out too.  I tried clicking one and then the other, to warn of an approaching train.

Ok, what's the obvious answer, so I can be properly embarrassed?

After messing with it, it seems it allows you to cycle through the index entries displayed on the screen.  For example, if I'm in a Bible, a swipe up will show the verse I swiped up from. But if that's not the one I meant, then I can used the back/forth arrows to adjust the reference to the one I meant before I select a menu item to operate on that reference.

The arrows only cycle through the references shown on the screen. In the case of Bible verses, there are often multiple ones shown and the arrows are enabled, but if there is only one possible index reference displayed on the screen, like in a regular book when only page numbers are available, then the arrows are disabled.  In regular books with only page number indexes, I did find that a screen that shows a page boundary will display the arrows.
