I can access neither Smart Bible search nor Textual History in the Insights panel after updating to v40.0.

Commenting to let you know I see this and am investigating. Will report back once I know more.

Looks like the licenses did get added this morning. There could be a delay in the timing of getting added to reaching the software but things should be in order. Can you try again on your end with a brand new panel? @Aaron Hamilton

I had opened and closed Logos a few times after updating and before posting, but I can confirm that it is working now. Thank you!

@Matt Mattox (Faithlife) Update Now still will not work for me at all…. This is multiple versions both unsubscribed and subscribed…
I have manually installed the updates and for V39 did a complete uninstall and fresh install - yet Update Now returns the No Updates message…
I have tried both Update Channel to Stable and Update Channel to Default - same error.
Restart the laptop, reopen Logos - same no update message…
I also tried holding CTRL while opening to log in to a blank layout - no updates available…

Logos Max, January 2025, ver 39.1.6, will not install - spins at, "installing update." Taking a very long time to download 426 mgs of updates. Stable connection.

@Frank Sauer Can you upload your log files as those will be helpful as there should be a line in the log file for checking for updates.

I also have seen no issue at all with Resources updates/downloads - they occur without issue.
Program Updates are the issue - the thing that I noticed in the logs was it appears to be a zero time used in checking for updates

Please please please let us choose between double spaced and single spaced in sermon editor when using "one verse per slide." "Fully formatted" and "block paragraph" has single spacing but "one verse is double." It just doesn't make sense and it makes the amount of page turning while preaching double.

@Frank Sauer — I noticed you're using Windows 8 compatibility mode. Have we asked you to apply that setting? If not, I'd suggest disabling it — otherwise I think it's likely that Logos will think your OS doesn't meet the requirements for the update and won't offer it to you.

Nice catch @Mark Barnes (Logos) - I have no idea why that would have been active…. The only time I ever tested varying Compatibility Modes was with Linux install testing…
Is that something that could 'sync'? As I know that after clean installing the last release that I did not touch compatibility.
But, that was indeed the issue…. I didn't catch that, as I would have not been looking for it on my Windows install - if it were still Linux - definitely…

AFAIK, compatibility mode settings are stored in the registry and not synced between devices. I'm glad the problem's sorted now, though.

I'm very much looking forward to trying this one out!

At last! A feature exclusive to Max!

Max exclusive updates would likely have to do with original language or academic area of the software. I don't really need those and that's why I downgraded to Pro.

Is there any kind of preview (for somebody who might upgrade the subscription if he can evaluate it) of the “new Textual History section to Insights” ?

@NichtnurBibelleser
There is a very quick overview here but I guess you are looking for more than that
Apologies for the formatting - I don't understand why that has happened

Our February blog detailing the most important improvements was just published and is now reflected in the original post.

We haven't added the ability to preview the Textual History section from within the app, but I will show it off in my webinar on Thursday. If you register, you can attend live or be emailed a link to the recording after the event. There's also a little bit of information in this thread.

Thanks for the update. Forgive my ignorance. I tried some "Study Bibles" and some "Bible commentaries" and it works fine.
But what are "Bible studies"?
Here the "Insights" are lacking. Am I using the wrong Resource type? Or is it due the German UI?

Be aware of Logos Upgrade
I have never been this upset before over anything, but on February 24, 2025. I updated my Logos 10 software version to 40.0.351, (see image below), and on February 25 I notice the copy location feature (attached image), was totally remove from the copy option. I contacted Logos and was told that this feature is permanently removed from my / your logos software version that was purchased, (Bronze Edition in my case) with thousand of dollars $$$$ adding books to my library. In fact as seen below I have 2335 resources in my library. I was told this feature is NOW ONLY AVAILABLE TO SUBSCRIPTION MEMBERS.
My personal option, this is WRONG!!! I truly hope logos do the right thing and restore this feature to individual who purchased the software so that less technical individual like myself that doesn't know any other way to implement this SIMPLE feature would still appreciate the software. I am not shy to event post my email owing to the cost to put in this program.
I have also advocate to hundreds of persons over the last several to invest in this program and I am feeling guilty that many will experience issue for something that I cannot help them with.

@NichtnurBibelleser It's a valid question so thanks for asking. It's a resource type and apology for not finding any in German but here are a few examples I can share. I found it easier by filtering by the type in my Library which then gave me the results I needed. I double checked in German UI and all was working as expected there too.

Logos has gone subscription base. Be very afraid to spend thousands of dollars like I did or even hundreds.

You might of missed this post regarding the Logos4 links to ref.ly links which can be found here. @The Truth of The Bible
If you select that copy location option in your screenshot it should create a ref.ly URL which has a lot of pros to using compared to the decremented route of Logos4 links. Details in that post linked above.
The good news, your existing Logos4 links should operate as normal.
Hopefully that clears some things up, apology if I missed the mark on your ask here.
Also, regarding this comment. You own all the resources you purchased so your investment is safe. More details here.

Hi Matt
Thanks for your response. It may appear that I am a proficient / power of Logos… I not.
I like to have a hugh library, it makes it easier to find and copy the information I want for my studies. This is my first time here. The information you provide me while thankful I have no clue to what alll that referes to or how to accomplished that task. Would you be so kind to provide a text link that I could follow.
Thank you.

Am I understanding the end goal of wanting to provide a location to the resource you are in for your studies that takes you to the exact location?
If so, from your resource select the 3 vertical dots in the top right corner and choose
Copy Location. (see image below)You'll then have a ref.ly URL saved to your clipboard. (essentially a URL like this
https://ref.ly/Jn3.16;csbsaved and next time you choose paste, it'll paste that URL.NOTE: Yours will look different as mine shows John 3:16 with my CSB selected. The point is that it'll look like
ref.ly/{YOUR_SCRIPTURE_REFERENCE;YOUR_BIBLE}From there you can paste anywhere you like. Notes tool, command box, etc.
Hope this helps!

Matt,
How will that link works? Will it gives me access to Logo from a word document on my Mac? If I reviewing from an on-line document on an iOS with no internet would it work?
This is the reason for my question. Last week, Feb., I contacted Logos for issues I experienced with these features. see image below. In a subsequent email I was told to try HTML which did worked and now there is no choice.
Thank you again for responding.

Thanks for your quick response. However, when I filter for the type (in the English UI), at least with the volumes I have here, I don't see "Insights" in neither of them. See one example here:
