Workspace
There is one area of my workspace that seems to not work correctly. No matter how many times I collapse all my drop down menus in my passage guide and then save that workspace in that way, when I open that workspace the next time, the commentaries section of the PG is always going to expand. Why is that? When you save the updated workspace, it should save the workspace with the collapsed PG and not open some of the sections of the passage guide....what am I doing wrong?

I assume you are talking about "Layouts"? If this is the case... then set your workspace and then click the "Layouts" icon... and type in a name for your "workspace ~ layout" and save it...

I have done that, and the commentary section of the PG open in the Workspace expanded instead of collapsed as the workspace is saved.

The expand/collapse state of Guide sections is not saved as part of the layout. Instead, it is a system-wide preference that is updated when a panel is closed. The expand/collapse state should initialize to the last state the Commentaries section had when any Guide containing that section was closed.

Andrew, this used to be true for the search panel as well, but not with Logos 10. Can you please restore this functionality to the search panel? See this bug report I made for more details: https://community.logos.com/forums/t/211350.aspx

Upcoming changes to the Books search kind will result in there no longer being multiple result sections in that search kind.

If you mean we have to run separate searches for downloaded books, cloud books, print books and storefront books ... may I object in advance?

Bookstore search will be a separate search kind. Downloaded, Cloud, and Print books will all be searchable in a combined format.

Thank you. Will the Factbook search also be removed from the Book search tab? That's the main thing getting in the way. I just want to go directly to my books when I use the Books search tab.
Downloaded, Cloud, and Print books will all be searchable in a combined format.
Are they going to be all jumbled together (like in the All search)? I removed certain resources from my hard drive to get higher quality and faster searches. Mixing in cloud resources with my downloaded resources would defeat that purpose. And will I still be able to distinguish print resources from resources that I own in Logos?

In short, a continuing decrease in usability for my use while perhaps improving it for some. For me, this making everything a separate search/single search approach is misguided and will add confusion to the inexperienced user. Instead of puzzling over how to write the search argument they will be puzzling over the type of search needed and wondering why many searches are needed to create a simple result.

Even after Downloaded/Cloud/Print have been merged into a single set of results, we’ll retain the option to group them, for users who prefer that.

I'm getting different messages from you and Andrew. Merging those into three into a single set of results makes a nonsense of having Cloud resources which I don't want to be a part of my working set. Does "grouping" them mean we retain the choices under "All Books" in Beta 2?
From Andrew I understood the different kinds in "All Books" would not be available as sections within another "kind".
And where do Personal Books fit in?

The simplest answer is to wait and see. I really only mentioned this as an explanation for why we weren't planning on pursuing a fix for the section expand/collapse state not being remembered.

I appreciate you responding. At least I know something is changing at some point since the current situation is frustrating.

That is kind of what I thought. But Morris Proctor is saying the opposite in his training. He is saying in his training that the collapsed section are saved as part of the layout.
