When I start the text comparison tool from the GO BOX the Bibles are different then when I start the tool from the tools menu. Where does "show text comparison" get it list of bible and how can I change them to what I want for subsequent starts form either the GO BOX or a workflow?

Thanks

    I can't reproduce that issue. Whenever I change the list of bibles, it is reflected in TC when opened by a different method.

    You can change the list of bibles by editing the list under Resources, or clicking on a Recent list. You can add individual bibles by scrolling past Collections. Click outside the drop-down box to confirm the new list.

    The TC 'strip'  from the F7 function key always uses the first five (or less) prioritized Bibles that contain the reference, with the open bible as the base.

    Thanks Dave for your help..

    I see what is going on now. The link in Inductive Study workflow from Logos has the bibles set in the link which are different from the ones I want to use. Once you click on this link the bibles change but remain the same when starting TC from the tools menu... but are the new ones if TC is started from "show text comparison".

    I created my a workflow and when you include a TC in a workflow you specify the bibles you would like to use.

    I'm not sure I have the same problem

    When I start Text Comparison from the Tools menu I get the Bibles I desire - KJV, NASB95, LEB, ESV, HCSB.

    When I start Text Comparison with Cmd + F7 I get a different Bible in the 2nd position - KJV, NKJV, NASB95, LEB, ESV.

    I can't figure this out.

    Anyone have a solution, or even possible solution?

    The first bible should be the one you have open. Thereafter, the bibles are in the order you prioritized them.

    If a commentary provides the reference, all the bibles in TC are ordered by your prioritization.

    I found my problem.

    It's one of old age.

    In my prioritized list the NKJV was in second position.

    I forgot that list existed.

    All is well.
