Sure! You need to change the display into a number of columns per page (rather than "none" which means continuous scrolling without pages, i.e. no "bottom of the page" to display footnotes). You do this from the "kebap menu" in the to right corner of the resource panel:, select a number of columns you like (here I took 1)
The green arrow is an example for a footnote. In paged view you don't scroll endlessly, but page forward and back with the two buttons in the yellow boxHave joy in the Lord!

thanks. an issue I faced with this is that if the footnote is too long and supposedly overflow to the next page, After I flip to the next page, I could not continue with the footnote found in previous page. It does not work like how printed books work for long footnotes.

I've never seen that, over the years. Do you have an example? And desktop or mobile?
- I have bunches of resources whose footnotes occupy 2/3 of the page, with lap-over to the next page.
- I've not seen any lapse or cut-off, and am amazed the design could achieve that (sometimes it's down to 1-2 lines of text, and the rest page-overlapping footnotes).

I concur with DMB I have never seen that happen either. Some examples are needed.

Well I do not think Logos is supposed to work how a print book works. I have been trying your claim in my Logos Workstation but do not see the issue. So as a result you need to create another forum post and show your work with errors.

I don't see this. My example for long footnotes is Levering's Mary's Bodily Assumption, e.g. long FN 1 in the Introduction: https://ref.ly/logosres/mrysbdlyssmptn?ref=Page.p+1&off=290&ctx=to+heaven+after+her+~death.1+According+to
You see the continuation of FN 1 on page 2 (locator bar hasn't updated from the last page I was on), FN 3 which breaks here continues on the next page. Both work without loss of footnote text. I'm using 120% content scaling and 100% program scaling on Windows 11.

As to what I see, it does. Please share an example and also info on your scaling settings and your machine. EDIT: after JT's very helpful post below: and your Logos version - I somehow had assumed that despite the old forum you are using Logos 35 like I do. There have been issues with long footnotes at some time back, but those I had seen were fixed /EDIT
Have joy in the Lord!
