Panel Linking: Add "Follow Only" Option for Link Set

It would be great to be able to use link sets in the desktop app without having other resources changing the Bible verse while scrolling. It is especially problematic with multiple commentaries since it causes a ripple effect.
The new Logos 10 Mobile App has this feature and would love to also have it on the desktop app too. Thank you!

    Let us set one Bible panel as "focus" no matter what we do in other panels. Scrolling down a bit in a different tab's panel forces the Bible panel to change. Stop that! We need to be able to review info in a different panel without changing the open Bible panel.

    Yes! I loved this feature when I discovered it on mobile. Was disappointed when I tried to do the same on desktop and feature is missing there.

    Thank you for submitting this.  I am coming over from Accordance and holding down the command key allows you to you scroll freely through a linked pane without your text following or vice-versa.  So a hotkey or the actual "Follow Only" setting would be great!

    @Jerry Trevino  Thank you for mentioning the shortcut.  When I use Accordance, I was linking and unlinking each pane manually.  That'll save me a lot of time.  I think having both a hotkey and permanent "Follow Only" setting would be nice

    This would be a great feature to have on the desktop. Please consider adding it.

    Agree that adding this as an option would be great! Bringing the option for parity between the mobile app and desktop app for this feature would simplify the user experience for those who are heavy users of the mobile app relative to the desktop app

    Totally agree. This is closely related to another issue that I think Logos could address in tandem to this one: https://feedback.faithlife.com/boards/logos-desktop-app/posts/new-auto-mode-to-automatically-link-all-panels

    PLEASE add this feature in the desktop version. It drives me crazy when I look ahead in a commentary or other non-Bible resource and it jumps my Bible around.

    This along with the auto-linking discussed here: https://feedback.faithlife.com/boards/logos-desktop-app/posts/new-auto-mode-to-automatically-link-all-panels would be a great addition to desktop app happiness.

    When panels are linked, please add a setting to make one panel "follow only". Ex.: Link a Bible and a commentary, but set the commentary to follow the Bible, but the Bible will not follow the commentary. This way, we can keep our place in the Bible panel even if we navigate around in the commentary panel.
    Thank you!

    Great idea! Had something like this in WordSearch. Miss it.

    ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL. "Inconthievable"(sic) that Mobile has this and Desktop doesn't!  Example:  Bible in tab 1 ... forty other tabs with Study Bibles or Complete Commentaries ... the forty should auto-move with tab 1 does, BUT moving in any one of the forty should NOT move any of the others.

    We absolutely need this!  It works great in the mobile app.  The desktop app REALLY needs this.

    Logos, this is an essential feature. Frankly, it's shocking that it has taken Logos this long to fix this missing feature. It works great in the mobile app.  #Bryan Mistele "The desktop app REALLY NEEDS THIS." Logos please help us! Thank you in advance ツ

    Can the PC version be set to follow only like on the phone? I don't want my Bible to follow.

    @Scott Brady  The follow-only functionality has not made it to Desktop for now.

    Yes please! Very necessary. Logos Mobile, Tree, and Accordance all have this. If the Logos desktop is the flagship logos software with “all the features” it needs this essential feature.

    I strongly agree that this would be a great feature on the desktop version, to have the option to "follow only" -- as is possible on the Android app. I, too, am frustrated when scrolling through a linked commentary. Please include this feature on desktop.

    I agree with the previous comments. This is the #1 feature I am looking forward to on desktop.

    Not sure why this one is taking so long. It is a no brainer. Definitely needed! Like Aaron said above: This is the #1 feature I am looking forward to on desktop.

    Great idea.  That feature would certainly help.

    1) Logos needs a FOLLOW ONLY option for commentaries. (just like the mobile version has had for YEARS.) Everyone wants / needs this basic function.

    2) Logos needs an option to open a tab (Bible, commentary, etc) on the left or right side. Keyboard shortcuts for opening a new Bible tab (or commentary, etc) are useless if you have to then move the new tab to the right place.

    I've had to unlink all my study bible notes from Bibles because of unintended reference jumps when I click in the study bible notes. "Follow only" is wonderful in the mobile app , and would be a perfect solution for this problem on the desktop.

    Yes, it becomes frustrating especially in large print like I have because the wheel on my mouse needs to scroll down the commentary to read, while the place in my bible goes sometimes 2 chapters ahead making it time consuming to find my place where I left off. If the mobile app has it, (thank you) why is it not a feature in the desktop where we do most of our studying? Thank you for considering.

    I don't understand why this isn't a Pri 1 for Logos.  This works great on mobile.  I have no explanation for why they don't enable this on the desktop where it is even more important.
