Factbook: Sources
I want to maximize Factbook. I am considering purchasing the Factbook Feature Expansion Collection. Are there only certain sources that Factbook accesses or does it use all dictionarie, encyclopedias, etc.? If so, this Collection is just some recommended resources?
Also, if Factbook does use any of my dictionaries, etc, does the prioritization I have setup also apply to Factbook? I tried to look it up but Prioritization only mentioned Passage Guide, Preferred Bibles, double clicks but did not list Factbook.

Factbook does respond to prioritization to some extent. It does use all resources that are appropriated tagged -- if you own them and have downloaded them to the device.
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

Thank you MJ, happy to hear prioritization is utilized on appropriately tagged resources. I don’t think FL is intentionally trying to mislead but the Factbook Features Expansion Collection does mislead, at least it almost mislead me, as it can easily be interpreted that these specific resources are needed to expand Factbook. I have a pretty extensive library so you saved me some money I didn’t “need” to spend 😉 Factbook is an amazing tool and I learn more of how to better utilize it the more I use it.

I'm using the Collection's contents as an indicator of resources that will work particularly well with the Factbook, though I happen to already own most of the ones I'm interested in. (Funny how that works!)

That is a useful way to look at it! One book in the Collection, I have not been particularly drawn to is The Eerdmans Encyclopedia of Early Christian Art and Archaeology, Volumes 1–3 as something to read: https://www.logos.com/product/138245/the-eerdmans-encyclopedia-of-early-christian-art-and-archaeology-volumes-1-3 I must say however that I do find it intriguing as a resource for Factbook and pulling relevant tidbits here and there. There are no ratings in Logos and I saw only one on Amazon. I could get the collection resources I don't have for less than the cost of this one book.
**Has anyone used this book and found it beneficial?
