Feature: Enhanced Panel Linking

Ali Pope

Panel Linking

New and improved capabilities with linking multiple books.

What is it?

You can now have three link sets (A, B, C) with the additional option to link resources as “follow-only”.

How to access it?

From the Layouts View:

Open the Logos mobile app.
Click on the Tabs icon (square with a number) at the bottom navigation bar.
Click the plus sign at the bottom of the screen.
Open a Bible (for example).
Click the Split-Screen icon (rectangle with a line through the middle) at the bottom right corner of the tile group.
Add another Bible translation (for example).
Click on the Panel Linking icon (two horizontal rings overlapping) right below the title of one of your books in that tile group.
Select your desired link set (A, B, or C)
Click on the Panel Linking icon (two horizontal rings overlapping) right below the title of the other book in that tile group.
Select the same link set you chose previously (A, B, or C).
Optional: Select “Follow only” for one of your books to follow along in that link set, but not lead.

From the Reading View:

Open the Logos mobile app.
Open any book in your Library to the Reading View.
Click the Kebab icon (three vertical dots) in the top right corner.
Click “Split this tile” to add a tile to the tile group.
Click the Kebab icon again in the top right corner of one of the books in tile group.
At the bottom of the Kebab menu, select a Link Set (A, B, or C)
Click out of the Kebab menu.
Click the Kebab menu of the other book in the tile group.
Select the same link set you chose previously (A, B, or C) or select “Follow only”.
You can also click on the link set icon next to the book title in Reading View to make changes.
Optional: You can also choose to “Set all panels to match”, which will set all panels in the Layouts View to the same link set.

Note

You can link up to 6 tiles in one tile group on a tablet.

I like the new layout options o the tablet, but please consider allowing us 2x panels side by side on our phones.. I agree 6 would be overkill and 2 won't please everyone but 2 resource panels would be extremely helpful to me already on my phablet which identifies as a phone

Two panels side-by-side is possible on phones in landscape. Rotate your phone, then click on the kebab menu in the top right, and choose Split this tile.

Thanks Mark, once it's in landscape rotate it back to portrait, option disappears but 2 panel layout remains, thank you, whilst would prefer vertical stack I can cope with this bug/undocumented feature for now

I only knew there was an update when the layout of my Bible and study guide completely changed. On the IPad, there is now no discernible way to adjust the size of panels you have open. Previously, I had my Bible taking up the majority of the screen with the study guide on a smaller panel to the right. There is no adjustment bar for panel sizes when you set your view to 2 vertical panes. Am I missing something? If not, please fix this. It’s…annoying.

The two panels are out of alignment on iPhone

I have a question or feature request please

I really like the way the linked commentary automatically switches to another in the same series if the link set it is following changes books of the bible.
is there any way to do that with my original languages? So I can have a split screen with my English side and my preferred Greek text on the other side following, but if I move to the Old Testament it automatically switches to my preferred Hebrew text?

You can do that already if you put your preferred Greek & Hebrew bibles in the same series using the desktop app. It works on mobile after that set-up stage.

I haven't had access to the desktop app for a couple of years now, but I set this up when support for the feature was added. Hope my memory of how I set it up is correct!

You can set series information of a resource in the Library window (or the information pane for a resource) - this needs to be done on the desktop app

I have set up a series called OL Bibles with a couple of original language Bibles

Now if I set up a tab on mobile with a Bible on one side and one of those resources on the other - and link them - you get what you are looking for.

So good!! thank you!

for devs, this might be made easier for the little person somehow

but love that it’s here!

I’ve recently looked into various Bible apps, and like linked sets in Logos. For mobile (I’m using iOS), it looks like it is not possible to use link sets with notes, the passage guide, or the exegetical guide. Is this possible, and I haven’t figured it out yet? Or if not, is this a feature that can be added?

Thanks!
