Bible references in pbs pointing to Exegetical summaries instead of the Bible

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I create Bible study material in Personal Book Builder. Recently, all Bible references are pointing to the Exegetical Summary resource. So for example, if I hover over James 4:3 or click on the reference in my PB, instead of seeing the Bible reference, I see the ESJ resource pointing to 4:3 You-aska and (do) not receiveb because you-ask wrongly,c
LEXICON—a. pres. act. indic. of αἰτέω: ‘to ask’. See this word at 4:2.

pres. present

act. active

indic. indicative

Greenlee, J. H. (2008). An Exegetical Summary of James (2nd ed., p. 150). SIL International.

This is happening with all references in my PBs at the current time.

Have you prioritised the SIL resource above Bibles?

Yes, Graham, I just figured that out but thank you for confirming. Problem now resolved. However, should that really be the behavior? What if a newbie to the Logos Software is unaware of prioritization and simply gets confused that a reference does not point to his/her favorite Bible version, but instead points to a commentary? It seems that whatever is your first priority is where all references will point. That does not seem to make sense to me. Am I missing something?

If they are unaware of prioritisation - and thus unlikely to be changing it - then they will be fine. Default prioritisation has our preferred Bible first (and if we haven't defined a preferred Bible Logos will select one - I think LEB could could be ESV).

The highest priority that has matching references.

That does not seem to make sense to me. Am I missing something?

I'm struggling to see the issue - and recognise that the prioritisation capability is a key part of how Logos works in a range of areas.

But I may be missing the issue - please clarify further.

Not sure if I can explain how it happened. I see in the library when I check prioritization, that the preferred Bible is on top and thus there is no problem. But I had a problem when I recently changed the order of some of the resources I have prioritized thinking it may make a difference in the resources used for a synopsis of an AI question. I must have deleted the Bible thinking it does not need to be prioritized. I then moved Exegetical Summaries to the top. So I follow what you have written. So then I did not understand for several days why Scripture references were pointing to ES instead of the preferred Bible.

But, what I cannot reproduced is that when I checked library prioritization, the preferred Bible, was not showing at the top even though I had made it the top priority. I cannot reproduce that now because I see now it is showing.

If you cant follow along, then dont worry about it. I understand now and hope I dont forget what you have written. I certainly appreciated you quick response
