Integrate Faithlife into Logos/Verbum

I suspect I am not alone in rarely checking Faithlife ... and in being complicit in the inactivity on Faithlife sponsored groups that I should support. I think it is time to take the next step in making Faithlife visible:

1. In the Notifications section of the Toolbar, add an icon showing that I have messages waiting on Faithlife; clicking on the icon will take me to Faithlife.

2. On tools and datasets having company sponsored Faithlife groups, provide a link to that group in the panel menu.

This encourages the use of Faithlife without becoming obnoxiously intrusive.

The first step would be extremely useful.

For the second, I'd be inclined to see help be made more visible. If a link is going to be out of sight, would there be more benefit reaching it via help, rather than the panel menu?

@PetahChristian Unfortunately, Help is basically at the application level. The information I am suggesting is at the panel/tab level so the menu at the right level of granularity is the panel menu. That does not preclude the information also being present in the Help document.

FWIW: I haven't seen the Help menu's Report a Problem as being very effective whether viewed from the aspect of FL reading the mail sent or from the user perspective of using it to find the right address.

An example layout to jumpstart users' ideas and a crumb for lectionary users
Very little is available in training on the effective use of (a) floating windows, (b) multiple monitors, (c) virtual desktops, and (d) multiple installations.

Study Assistant: Input Field Location
If I'm not mistaken, in all other panes where one can where there is a single input field in Logos, the input field is at or near the top of the pane. With the Study Assistant, at least in v. 47, the input field is at the very bottom of the pane. I know that's normal for at least some AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT) I think it…
