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.
One thing that has annoyed my a couple of times is the lack of ability to copy text from the Bible Word Study Guide. It would save me a lot of time if I could just copy text from it rather than have to click on a link and go to the source document. For example: I'm writing about Peter's use of Grace - rather than have to…
I have a reasonably fast computer with lots of memory (Microsoft Surface Book), and yet just switching tabs between one Bible tab and another Bible tab (already open) takes about 2-4 seconds. Other non-Bible tabs are much quicker to load. This seems to me to be a significant delay, especially when everything should already…
I’ve been using the mobile app for years, and the addition of the floating insights button is making it really hard to continue. When I’m reading a passage on my iPhone, my eyes are constantly drawn down to it. And please correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think it added any functionality? I am conditioned to get to the…
I know some prefer to have a Bible open while preaching… I appreciate the sentiment, but I’ve found it easier to include any Bible passages I need in my sermon document. However, there are times when it would be helpful to be able to spontaneously refer back to the passage later on in the sermon without paging back in your…
In the two resources: MHQ (The Meaning of the Holy Qur'an, Abdullah Yusuf Ali) and The Quran with Christian Commentary (Gordon Nickel), when adding an anchor, I don't see Reference as an option and Active Reference isn't available on mobile. The Reference field seems to recognize: 1. canonical holy bible references 2.…
