Thanks for helping me the realise that the NIV Anglicised 1984 does not have the same functionality as all the other Bibles (LEB, NIV 2011, ESV, etc.). This is the Bible my church uses but obviously I'm missing out by having it as my preferred Bible.

In fact NIV Anglicised 1984 does not have the same functionality as the bibles you mentioned, because those bibles are morphologically tagged and with a Reverse Interlinear available. Looking at the hundreds of bibles existing in Logos, NIV Anglicised 1984 seems to have the same functionality as all other bibles, only some few bibles (I think less than a dozen in total) have more.
The reason for this is that the added functionality is tied to the underlying Greek/Hebrew text. It is a massive undertaking to build a Reverse Interlinear database - it takes years and a lot of effort. In the case of non-PD bibles, an agreement with the holder(s) of the copyright needs to be made, too. In case of NIV 1984 Anglicised this last point may prevent the (probably smaller effort) re-use of the NIV 1984 RI database.
You may use the feature of a linked set to have a second bible (such as free LEB) scroll along with your preferred version and give you access to information/functionality not existing in your main bible.
Hope this helps,
Mick
Have joy in the Lord!

Thanks Mick, this is a helpful reply.

This should be fixed in 6.0b (coming soon), although I think the fix might not have made it into the release notes.
It's reported as fixed in 6.0b RC2.

Yep, I updated to 6.0b RC2 and I can now get to Factbook from the contextual menu. Great!
The other issue still remains. I can get from passages to the Factbook, but I can't get from Factbook to passages—that section is missing.

I can confirm this behavior and I've created a case.

6.0b is now on the stable channel, so this is fixed for all L6 users. The issue with getting to passages from Factbook is still active.
