Application Toolbar and Dynamic Toolbar

I am currently using Logos desktop with Logos 10 features. I have not yet made the move to the subscription service. Today in reading about the changes in the new Logos, I learned that the "Dynamic Toolbar" has been changed.

Here are my questions:

  1. Is the Application Toolbar different from the Dynamic Toolbar? On my current Logos desktop, I have many personalized items attached to my current Logos desktop. These items include a modified passage guide, often used resource books, collections, etc. All told, maybe 30-40 items pinned in some way to the Application Toolbar. I absolutely don't want to lose the ability to access these pinned items.
  2. Can anyone confirm whether all my pins to the Application Toolbar will roll into the new subscription Logos?
  3. If the Dynamic Toolbar is different from the Application Toolbar, can someone explain what items are on the Dynamic Toolbar in Logos 10 and what items will be on the Dynamic Toolbar in the new Logos?

Thanks. I'm intrigued by the new Logos but am reluctant to mess up my current desktop setup that has taken years to create and fine tune.

    The application toolbar is the one that applies to the entire application. The dynamic (resource) toolbar applies to a single resource within a panel. They are two (very) different things.

    It has been a while since I made the switch, but I seem to recall it was seamless.

    Thank you MJ.

    Does the new Logos seemlessly bring all of a user’s pinned items in the application toolbar into the new version?

    Yes, the user shortcut bar / pinned items function is not changed at all.
