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

Option to link books A,B,C,D etc. as lead only or follow only

I’ve been using the follow feature, particularly “follow only” with commentaries, and it’s been helpful. One point of frustration, however, is that highlighting also applies to the follow only. As this seems to be predominantly used for bible and commentary, there are times I want to highlight my bible but not my commentary and vice versa, but I don’t want to have to keep disabling then enabling the follow. It would be helpful to either make it where follow only doesn’t highlight both or give an additional option to not highlight along with what it’s linked to.

Please add the Follow Only option for links to the desktop. I use this option all the time on the mobile version. While I use Multiview in my desktop layouts, this is not a sufficient substitute for the Follow Only option—it's complentary (both Multiview and Follow Only are necessary in my opinion). I find myself having to turn off a link for a resource in my layout and then turn the link for the resource back on as a poor person's substitute for Follow Only.

Follow Only option in mobile app:

P.S. I would have thought this would already have been a feedback item, but the Search option on the website didn't show me an existing item for this

I've never set up a link set in my iPad app, so I never knew this was a thing before seeing this. Yes, please bring this to the desktop app!

I would love to see this come to desktop!

I can’t believe it’s not butter, I mean I can’t believe it’s not on the desktop.

Because multi-view performs much the same function but in a different manner, I suspect this requires greater user interest than if the feature was entirely missing.

OK if there’s only two things you do today, make this the other one 🤣

I am puzzled by this. Mind you I don't use the mobile app but this should be controlled by whether the note is applied to selection or reference just as it is on the desktop. It shouldn't be tied to the display choices.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE. This is my biggest frustration with Logos - if you're studying a passage, you don't want the passage to scroll when you're scrolling down to read the commentary. PLEASE implement this.

Is there still no update on this in 2025?

While waiting for Logos to (perhaps) implement this feature remember that the multiview panel was Logos response to meeting this need.

Multiview and follow-only are not the same thing. Imagine you have a half-a-dozen or more commentaries you like (which most of us do). You're preparing a sermon based on a text passage and you want to see what each commentary has to say on a particular passage. This seems like the core use-case for Logos.

Multiview can only show a few commentaries before the screen gets way too crowded and you continually have to change what Multiview is showing (at least 5+ mouse clicks plus scrolling). Follow-only would solve this and it seems like such a trivial thing to implement for such an important use-case.

This is such a good idea that is well-implemented in the iPad app. I'm shocked it's not on the desktop app. Logos, please do this soon.

Why does the text comparison tool have the follow option but not other tools or recourses. If the text comparison tool has the function is not possible to add it to the rest.
