Text Comparison: can you change the versions you want to compare?

I’m trying out the Text Comparison tool in my Logos 10 mobile app (iPad), and it looks like there is no way to set which versions you want to compare, which is not very helpful to me.

it looks like Logos defaults on your top Bibles, but I can’t seem to change it. 
Am I overlooking something?

    If you tap Top Bibles in your screenshot you should get a dropdown showing your Collections, allowing you to select a different one

    Interestingly, like yours, my Top Bibles display shows more than the 5 Bibles I would have expected.

    Strange, I did that, but nothing happened. I now tried it again, and yes, I do get a dropdown.

    This is different from the Text Comparison tool on the desktop. Why showing Collections, instead of allowing us to choose our Bibles?!

    Some collections even don't make sense.

    Agreed - but this has been the way this Tool has worked since it was introduced

    I agree - I think the concept is that only Collections that contain a versified resource are included, but some of them really shouldn't be there!

    I stumbled upon a solution to selecting Bibles for the Text Comparison. It is easy, but tedious:

    1. In the bottom menu, R corner, tap 3-line More icon.
    2. Scroll down to Set Top Bible and tap.
    3. Select the Bible version you want to appear last in your Text Comparison order.
    4. Close the app, then reopen - you will see that version appear at the top of the Text Comparison list.
    5. Repeat steps 1-4 for each version you want to add. Each subsequent version selected will appear at the top of the list. On the final repeat, select your favorite version as the Top Bible, and it will appear above all the others.

    Hope this helps. Let me know if it works for you.
