Feature Request: Tab Labeling with Scripture Reference Instead of Translation Name

I'd like to suggest an enhancement to the tab labeling system in Logos Bible Software, specifically for Bible resource tabs.

Currently, when opening multiple Bible tabs—especially when using the same translation (e.g., NLT)—each tab is labeled with the translation name. This makes it difficult to distinguish between tabs at a glance, as they all appear identical in the tab bar unless you click on them.

Proposed Enhancement:
Please consider changing the default tab label to display the scripture reference currently being viewed in the tab, rather than the translation name. For example, instead of each tab simply reading "NLT," they could display:

Luke 22:37 (NLT)
or

Luke 22:37 (with the translation already represented by the icon, as is currently the case).

Why this is helpful:

It greatly improves usability for users who study with multiple passages open simultaneously.

It allows for quick tab identification without needing to click through each one.

It provides a more intuitive workflow, especially for sermon prep or comparative studies.

This small change could significantly enhance the efficiency and user experience for many of us. Thank you for considering this suggestion!

    A great idea for some users; a disaster for those of us who primarily have different translations open. I'm not opposed - merely think the proposal needs refinement.

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
