Cited By - Direct to Paragraph
Is there a way to get the Cited By tool when clicking on a resource, such as from one of the church fathers, for it to go to the exact sentence/paragraph of the Bible verse that's quoted? Often times I have to do quite a bit of reading to locate it when I'm trying to quickly get to the section.

I'm guessing it's a case of what you're clicking on or dragging up?
- If you click on the main header (in Cited By), it's going to start you at the header (requiring a search).
- If you instead click on the highlighted portion of the Cited By text, then you end up at it's citation (no search). The trick is finding the highlight ... often a tiny footnote indicator.
Unless, I'm misunderstanding?

I'm clicking on the blue highlighted text and it takes me to the headline of the chapter. I don't see any other portion that would take me to the exact location.

What resource are you showing in this screenshot? I cannot reproduce what you are seeing.

Jason, have you checked your CitedBy settings:

Thanks! I did look at that before but I assumed expanded view just meant things weren't collapsed on open, but after you pointed this out and I switched it to expanded, and now I can get to things quickly! I appreciate it!

Well, don't feel too bad ... I didn't know about the option (mine was set to expanded)! CitedBy is my favorite tool (ok ... Multiview too).
I don't think it's a good UI design; there's no immediate path from compact (scan across many) and expanded (examine a specific one), without doing a full settings change.
And as you mention, the terminology overlaps other app-usage.
