Books and Courses as desktop tiles please

Desktop tiles seem like the most intuitive way to access current projects/resources. How can I create tiles for to access a book or course that I regulary I want to use?

I managed to get Mobile Ed BI306 to appear as a tile (not sure quite how), but not 5 other courses that are in my library. The Add tile feature does not list the courses I have in my library and so is not an effective way to add courses to the desktop.

When I want to continue reading a book I have to search for it every time in the library - I really just want to click a tile and continue reading. There is no 'book' option within the add tile feature. Please advise.

Tiles relating to courses should appear automatically once you start the course in the course tool. The "Add course" option allows you to add back in a tile for a course that has been removed. You can't start a course from the homepage

With Logos 8.3, you can set up a layout containing the book and then add the layout. This release should be shipping to the stable channel on 4th March.

I just started CM328 Preaching the Psalms from my library but it has not appeared as a tile. I re-started Logos8 and it has still not appeared as a tile. Is there another step that I have missed?

OK, I get it. I just found the 'course tool'. So maybe there should be a redirect from the library to the course tool when someone tries to open a course from there?

I have now started CM328 from the course tool and it is now there as a tile. Presumably there are other categories of resource that should not be opened from the library?

I bought an audio version of a course and that does not appear in the course tool even though is has the appearance of a course. Can this also be put on a tile?
