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.
Please add MFA to your site. You have financial data and private user information on user accounts. I have no idea why you are not using basic levels of security to ensure users protection. Please implement immediately.
Logos is a fantastic platform. Please consider allowing users to add a PayPal account directly from the Billing Info screen. Currently, PayPal can only be linked after completing a purchase using it at checkout.
Please merge Notes and Highlights into unified Annotations. Sometimes what I begin as a note turns into a highlight and vice versa. At least offer a menu option to convert a Note into a Highlight and vice versa.
I realize this is not a new idea. However, it is an idea that needs to capture the attention of the Logos team. We need the ability to add a link into Sermon Builder. This link would permit us to open another Logos document, or resource, while teaching or preaching. To be totally honest, the Sermon Builder needs a lot more…
Adding the ‘Copy Bible Verses’ tool to the Mobile App tools would be a very handy addition.
