How to get the most from EGW's writings in Logos
While you wait for the new updated and tagged version of EGW's Lifeworks, I wanted to share a quick tip or trick that I've found to be one of the most powerful features of Logos currently available for SDAs: Being able to quickly reference EGW's writings on just about any passage of the Bible! This can be very helpful for personal study.
Disclaimer: This walkthrough is for the mobile version of the app, but can easily be replicated in the desktop version of the app.
Step 1: Navigate to a desired passage in the Bible
Step 2: Swipe up on a specific verse of interest, and select the Passage Guide.
Step 3: Select "The Ellen White Writings Scriptural Index" under the "Commentaries" heading (if you prioritize this resource in your library, it will show up at the top here).
Step 4: Select an EGW reference from the Scriptural Index
Step 5: Be blessed by EGW's comments on that specific passage!

I also wanted to mention that this quick tip is nice for when you're reading an e-book from another author. Any time a Bible verse is mentioned, you can quickly click/tap on that reference, and then follow these steps from there and easily compare what that author says about that passage with EGW's comments on that passage.

This is a quick workaround that's particularly useful in mobile devices. Of course, the EGW Index and its Supplement are not as exhaustive as a direct digitized search of the data.
Meanwhile, another workaround is making a collection of all the EGW books, and then doing a direct search of that collection--for specific content as well as scriptures.
Nothing will be as good as the fully tagged version, which we eagerly await. No specific timeline on that--all I can say is that it has the highest priority.
