Vote: Tag NASB95 Verse-by-Verse and NASB95 Paragraph Editions as Equivalent Resources
I would like to be able to move quickly between the NASB95 Paragraph edition and the NASB95 Verse-by-Verse edition. Since they are the exact same text just in a different format, please tag them as Equivalent Resources the way you've tagged the various KJV bibles.
I mostly use the paragraph edition and have that one higher on my prioritized resource list. I don't have the verse-by-verse edition prioritized, but sometimes I want to use it and would like to be able to get to it quicker. If it's an equivalent resource I can get there with two clicks.

As far as I can see they do appear as parallel resources - please post a screenshot showing what you are seeing in that menu

They are parallel resources. I want them tagged as Equivalent Resources. See how the 1900 and 1769 KJVs function as equivalent resources below:
I would like the two versions of the NASB95 to work the same way since they are the exact same text.

Apologies - I saw equivalent and read parallel! Thanks for clarifying.

Is there a reason parallel resources can't meet this need for you? It's also two clicks away.
We'd like to simplify the UI, and ER is a good candidate for going away.

I have also requested additions to equivalent resources. Parallel resources too easily contain additional resources that are not equivalent. I would suggest the equivalent resources be fixed "collections" within parallel resources maintained by Faithlife. This would simplify the user interface while maintaining the distinction between parallel and equivalent resources and keeping the latter "pure."

I have a lot of bibles so that list of parallel resources gets extremely long (I have 375 resources with type:bible, 265 are downloaded to my device). The Equivalent Resources would only show me two of them for the NASB95. Since it's the exact same text (literally equivalent) I'd prefer not to have to prioritize both of them, so that I can see my main prioritized resources without too much scrolling caused by duplicate resources. But then with equivalent resources, I could still quickly get to the verse-by-verse edition.
I understand you wanting to simplify the interface, but Equivalent Resources would actually make it simpler for me to jump between the two editions. It may not make sense in every case but in this case, when it's literally the exact same text, it would seem to make sense. I don't want to have to push another prioritized bible further down the list by having to prioritize the same bible twice.

Perhaps you could display them both and link them in the same link set.

You are right that this would work but it takes additional screen space or tabs. There is an elegance in the implementation of equivalent resources which would be a shame to lose.
