I am the Senior Pastor of a Calvary Chapel and I have a number of personal books I created that I would like to share with my School of Discipleship Students and Assisting Pastors. I would like to be able to do that across all platforms.
You can share the source files of the PB (the docx-format), but everybody needs to build the PB by themselves, there is no functionlity to share compiled PBs in Logos right now - the idea of sharing compiled PBs was around some 10 years ago but did not materialize.
You can share those docx-files on any platform you like, but you probably know that PBs currently work only on desktop (I think it's the most-voted feature request for years to change that). If you want to retain control over whom you give access to your PB source files, the in my mind ideal solution would be to make a Faithlife group for that. Of course, if you want to freely share those to everyone interested, you can simply drop them here in the forum.
Hope this helps.
Then a suggestion… I have found where the books are stored, but the name of the file is too confusing to figure out which books are which. Could you use the naming structure we create instead of remaining the PB with a code? Or give us an idea of how to name the books to fit your naming structure so we can figure out how to share them?
the cryptic names are not the problem - the PB-log will tell you which source file made it into which PB. If you don't want to look into logs: simply rebuild a PB and then you look for the newest resource in the folder: that's the PB you just built. BUT: it makes no sense sharing it with others; since they don't have a licence for this book, they can't open it. Here also Logos would need to build a way of sharing the license (or of building license-free books that could be imported by everyone via the scan command). one additional benefit of shared PBs would be: you can link from one to the other.
Hey Logos Team, First off, thank you so much for all you do! Logos has truly transformed the way I study and understand God’s Word. It’s been a game-changer in my personal devotions and teaching prep. I wanted to suggest adding a training session specifically for the iPad Pro running iPadOS26. I know most mobile sessions…
Oh please. Logos is the only thing keeping me on Billy Gates telemetery farm we reffer to as windows. Yes, we can run viritual machines; but a native linux Logos would be a game changer. I would throw all my Windows into the void, and run free in my Linux freedom. Linux is the superior operating system by far, and more…
OK, so I'm going to try to submit this idea once again, because there has never been any action on this and it has been quite a while. First, some background, I have very sensitive eyes, so I typically must use digital devices in some form of dark mode. My desktop has as much dark background as is allowed and all my mobile…
I love the Lexham Research Commentary series. For the Word Study sections, I think updating the link to go to the newer NIDNTTE rather than the older NIDNTT would be a significant improvement. I am specifically using the 1 Corinthians volume right now, and these links being updated would greatly enhance my studies. Thanks…
See https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/830831#Comment_830831 The referenced post is a wonderful example of leveraging a passage list. Unfortunately, different Bibles use different pericope lists. It would be very helpful if someone at Logos could run queries against the pericope listings in the compare…
