Is the "Dashboard" icon what the tutorial videos call the "home" icon?

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I'm going through the tutorial videos and it says that under the "go box" is the Home icon — it is not appearing for me. Instead, there is a different image for Dashboard. After Home/Dashboard, it goes to library, etc, and my screen matches the video, mostly.

Is the Dashboard a replacement for Home and the video is just outdated?

(PS I thought about putting this in Beta, but I don't know if my forum is beta! How can I tell?)

hi Jocelyn - and welcome to the forums

Yes, the Home icon has been replaced with the Dashboard.

Jocelyn,

I have never paid any attention to there being a "home icon". I have always used the dashboard when I wanted to get back to all my options. I just look and I am running the latest version and there is not a Home Screen but I believe the dashboard will act as the Home Screen. I don't know if this helps you any but I hope so.

What are you referring to putting in beta? There are some features that may be in beta testing you can try. At least with some other software that is the case. If you go to about Logos it will tell you if the software you are using is beta or not. I am currently running Logos on one of my Macs I dowloaded Sequoia to. Apple wants you to buy another system so they stop pushing updates for the latest software after a while but there is always more than one way to skin a cat. I said that to say even with the OLCP version of Sequoia on my 2017 Mac, I am not having any issues with Logos or anything else.

Re: Beta — in choosing a folder to post to, there is one called "beta". Under "Logos and Vernum" is first "English" and then "beta" (then "chinese", "dutch", "french", etc).

But you both addressed my main question, so yay! (Though I must admit, these into tutorials are frustrating me no end when it says "go here" and there is no "here" for me. Because it turns out this first question has been piled onto by many many more. 🤦)

@Jocelyn your frustration with the outdated tutorials is understandable. There have been many UI changes recently, and not all of the videos have been updated to reflect those changes. One can still learn a lot from the older videos, however, which is why they have not been pulled. Another complication is that there are currently two different toolbars, one for subscribers and one for nonsubscribers. Eventually, all users will be migrated to the new toolbar.

Assuming you have the subscription, here are some updated videos that should be easier to follow along with:

Hi @Jocelyn. Thanks for calling our attention to this. Which videos are you referring to and where are you accessing them? I want to make sure I add them to the update queue.

@Adam I went back online to see what sections and…they're now all gone. Only the Logos 9 QuickStart is still up (which…I don't even have? So why is it being required of me in order to get the intro $10 reward for getting familiar with Logos?).

I do have a subscription — the middle option. (I cannot even remember the names of the three options, let alone their order, sorry!)

Sorry for the trouble and confusion, @Jocelyn. Not sure why the Logos 9 Quickstart is showing for you. If you're not seeing the video card on the app's Dashboard, you can try the web app to see if it's displaying there.
