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.

Hello friends! I was reading in Wayne Grudem’s Systematic Theology 2nd Ed and saw a link in the bibliography at the end of each chapter to the “Anglican” systematic theologies. It links to Michael Bird’s Evangelical Theology (1st edition) but not Bird’s second edition. Is it possible to update the hyperlinks in Grudem’s…
I learned that Logos will not search highlights even when highlights are filtered in the Notes. When searching for a word or topic, Logos only searches the "notes" within (or attached to) the highlight. It cannot search for any string inside the highlight itself. Which is strange given that the book that I highlighted is…
I'd like to suggest a new layout option for the iPad, specifially a 2/3 setting, This would allow me to put my main bible on the 2/3 pane on the left, have the new context menu (commentary, or word study, …) fixed in the middle (as part of the 2/3 pane), and on the right a 1/3 pane with my second bible translation.
Fellow Christians, I just wanted to recommend that Logos add the option in the notes to be able to paste photos (such as reference picture images that help provide a visual representation of what it is you are reading. Especially helpful for The Book of Revelations.
It seems weird that there is an arrow (at the top of the iPad window) thatg takes you back to the previous text, but once you have gone back to that text, there is no way of going forward again. This behaviour is contrary to every web browser which has both forward and backward arrows.
