I am trying to use the historical context feature, but it tells me I don't have a license for that. I have the Max plan, so I don't what else I can buy.
Any help would be appreciated.

DAL, as in they are both in the Tools menu
sorry but I don't know what you mean by "historical context" - can you provide a screen shot?
If you are attempting to use Green, Joel B., and Lee Martin McDonald, eds. The World of the New Testament: Cultural, Social, and Historical Contexts. Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Academic, 2013. That is a resource, not a feature. You'll need to purchase the resource.
M. J. Smith, what I am looking for is the historical context of books of the Bible and passages. I saw a video on it in the Logos tutorials, but now I can't find it again. I don't have a screenshot, sorry
Jack Caviness, Thanks, Do you find that a good resource? I am new to Logos, and so far I am finding it much easier than the old school method of looking at the books in my library
I haven't the slightest idea of what the Logos tutorials would label this way. I would go to the Help Center (the question mark on the tool bar), enter "historical context", and see if the videos returned get you back on track. Others may have better ideas.
Thanks M. J. I will try that
Maybe the Factbook feature? It gives you some historical context of the books of the Bible. There’s also the Bible Panorama feature (I think that’s what it’s called).
DAL, Thanks, the tutorial said it was in Bible Books Explorer, which is where factbook is. I will try that
Yes! Bible Books Explorer 👍
In case this helps, what I mean by historical context is,
where and when do the passage refer to?
who were the first readers?
what was their situation?
what else was going on in the world of the author?
what else was going on in the world of the text/passage/book?
I likely acquired it through a package deal, and I have not read it.
I am glad you found it. Now I understand what you meant, why I didn't interpret it correctly, and what tools you actually needed. Maybe next time, I'll do better.

I am planning to build a library for my son. I already purchased some packages but he doesn’t have access to basic stuff like Greek/Hebrew word look up. How can I purchase this feature. He doesn’t need cloud based features and I am not looking for subscription
Is there any way to duplicate a tab within the mobile app? I have some tabs set up and sized perfectly and there are times I’d like to duplicate and link them to other resources within a particular layout and duplicating would make it much faster.
I'm not sure if I'm just doing something wrong or if it's a bug, but I cannot put different resources (such as the Catholic Daily Reading or a custom Reading Plan) on the dashboard. Also, I can't customs Quick actions. The "Today's Devotional" that's opened is one I've never used.
Have all the free books being offered by members dried up?
These three resouces downloaded earlier today: Today in Christian History Daily Stories, Daily Quotes, and Daily Devotionals. The licenses are temporary. Where can I learn more about them? I can’t seem to find them for sale on Logos … maybe I’m not searching correctly!
