How to enable word "look up" feature offline in mobile app?
As a long time user of Logos, I find it very frustrating that something that is a very simple thing to do in the Logos desktop application of right clicking on a word and getting all of the word information such as the original language word, morphology, and strong's number. As long as I am online this feature works great, but I get the following message when offline and trying to lookup up word info by doing a long press on the word in say the Lexham English bible:
"Sorry, we can't support the 'Look up' feature because you haven't downloaded any Lexicons containing this word for use offline. Head over to the Libarary to download one next time you are online."
This is a critical feature I NEED to have and this is the main reason why I still use Olive Tree bible study app, as it works beautifully offline in that app, and I feel hamstrung trying to use the Logos mobile app offline. I have downloaded the LEB bible, the dictionary of biblical languages: Greek, and BDAG, and it still does not work, so what books do I need to download in my library to make the "Look up" feature work offline????? I have Logos 9 Gold as reference in case you are wondering what features or library I might have. I love the desktop application and have been a long time user since the Libronix days, but I just keep wishing I could use the mobile app, and this one major feature I must have working offline.
Please help!

Sorry, offline lookup is not a current feature of the mobile app.

Technically it is but only for original language Bibles - see https://community.logos.com/forums/p/162637/964543.aspx#964543 for details.
Jason - this explains why you are getting the results you see. As per Phil's post I don't know when / if this will be enabled for English translations.

To illustrate (I keep only concise/abridged on my ipad): top where there's morphs; bottom where Samaritan isn't morphed. iPad is offline.

Thanks all for your responses! Your post was extremely helpful DMB and so as long as I have some of my interlinears downloaded, I am able to see the morphology as well as a dictionary entry in the quick preview. The only down side is that I don't know how to link bibles together like I can in the desktop application so that I don't have to look up references in my reading bible as well as the respective interlinear, but at least this does give me the basic functionality that I need to work offline, which was the goal, and I'm going to experiment only using the Logos app for a bit and see if I can stop relying on Olive Tree like I have been used to. Also, I love that my notes are all offline as well, as I have several notes that I have accrued over the years, so it was quite the pleasure to discover those available offline!!! All in all, all of your responses have given me some hope, so thank you all and may God bless!

This is something I can help with. [:)]
Resources may be linked in the tabs view. Click on the tabs icon, then while in tabs view, click on the chain link icon. Select the resources you want to link together.

Adding to JT, you only get one link to connect resources. Which gets messy with NT vs OT ... when one doesn't link, the resource often just goes blank (making difficult to manually compare). I end up turning them all off.
