How can I change the source text for the exegetical guide?

I thought the source text might change with the selected (or the preferred) translation, but it does not. I would like to see the source text for the Robinson - Pierpont Byzantine textform. That is currently the only Greek text I have prioritized.

    Is this what you're attempting to do?

    Yes. Thank you. I was looking for a way to do that on the mobile app. I didn't even know the desktop version had a exegetical guide.

    I made the change in the desktop app. It hasn't affected the mobile app yet. Maybe it just takes time.

    Your welcome, Sean. I think the mobile app should follow the desktop. Tried everything and I was unable to have it follow.

    I'm going to report it as a bug. But, I'll wait and see if someone with more information steps up to correct me.

    What mobile platform are you on?

    I'm using an Android phone.

    The source text follows your Top Prioritized Bible which must be a Reverse Interlinear. It works on iOS, but on my Fire HD which is Silk, it is not working. It may be the same with Android as Silk is an Android variant.

    See if that's the case on your phone and report back as I am contemplating filing a bug report.

    That's unfortunate. A reverse interlinear Bible with the RP Byzantine text doesn't exist. I switched my primary Bible temporarily to the KJV 1900 (a reverse interlinear) and it did switch the text in the exegetical guide over to the TR. Thanks for your help. I will submit a request to update this feature.

    I was able to get the RP Byzantine text to display in the Exegetical Guide by making that Greek text my primary Bible. Somehow I don't think that's how Logos intended that feature to work. Thanks again for your help.

    That's unfortunate.

    The reverse interlinear is the link to most data for many Logos features. Where your preferred text differs from the text of the RVI, you must do the work yourself as the program lacks the data.

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    What's the most efficient layout to accomplish this work?
