Does anyone know if there is a way to separate the one volume NIVAC from the 24 volume set?

    To prioritize a resource, begin by opening the Library. Right-click a resource title and choose Prioritize this resource. If the resource is part of a series, the option to Prioritize this series will also be available. This opens the Prioritize pane.

    Alternatively, users can click Prioritize on the Library toolbar, then drag one or more resources into the pane.

    Note: when dragging a resource that is part of a series, the whole series will be added. To prioritize a single resource from a series, use the right-click method above or hold the Ctrl key while dragging the resource over.

    Great question, @Lowell Schaffert. Have you tried to search for that individual resource and prioritize it in your list?

    Thanks for your response. The issue is that Logos (Pro Subscription 39.1.6) thinks that there are 25 volumes in the NIVAC, while in fact there are only 24 volumes. The book metadata has created a link between the 24 volume set and the one volume edition. What I want to be able to do is to add the one volume NIVAC independently to the 24 volume NIVAC in the prioritized list. Can this be done? If so how?

    Thanks, Lowell

    Okay Andrew the right click method of adding a single resource did work. Still wondering why the single volume edition is linked to the 24 volume set.

    Thanks, Lowell

    I suspect you'll find it shares a series name - I don't know whether that is intended by Logos or a user update to the series. If you don't want it linked, simply update the series name.

    I think it's Logos's doing; I have the concise commentary and some individual volumes and they all share the same series name.

    You can also edit the series name to entirely separate the resources, if that is your desire.

    Edit: because accepted answers shows by default, it's not readily apparent that others have provided additional responses. I'm not saying I don't like it as is, just that it will take some getting used to.

    That is not how I would like it set up for the behavior I want, so I personally would change the series name on the concise commentary. However, I can see why others would be pleased with the Logos setup.
