Desktop Issue with "Guides"

I've tried both the Passage and Exegetical Guides, and uninstalled and reinstalled, but every time I run a guide, I am missing resources. I know my commentaries, for example, are available because I see them in my Library, but they are not populating. What is going on?

If you hover over the COMMENTARIES section of your Guide, a Settings option will appear. From here a user can specify "All Commentaries", a Collection of Particular Commentaries, and check the bottom for the NUMBER of commentaries.

Thanks for the response David. I just checked that and All Commentaries are already selected but only 1 populates.

In Windows it is working correctly for me. How many commentaries are you asking to show at the same time (see bottom of screenshot above)?

Currently, it is set to 20, but it only shows 1. If I go to my library, it populates all my books.

Are you able to actually open the books you are expecting to work? A book has to be downloaded for it to show up in the guide.

I thought that might be the case. How do I tell Logos to download all my resources?

In the short term, filter your library for resources "not on this device" and click the download button. In the long term, change your settings to ensure new resources download.

I'll figure it out. Logos used to give you the option to download your resources on installation. It didn't this time. I have it set to download new resources but it updated a few things but didn't download the rest of my library. Currently, the vast majority of my Library isn't downloaded and i can't find a download all button. I have to click them individually.

Right Click is your friend.

Select all, right click, download all.

I do not see the right click option to download all. I would think this would be prima facie.

In Library you have to select books not on your device i.e. Devices > Not on this device in the Filter sidebar. Select all and the Info sidebar will display a Download option (or right click for the option).
