I own resources in English and German e.g. by Irenaeus, but they appear under differnt names. Is it possible to merge these?
You need to explain what you mean by "merge". e.g. you can relate them by putting them in the same Series or by tagging them.

I would like Logos to decide for one version of an author's name, e.g. "Irenaeus Lugdunensis (140-202)", and assign it to each and all works by this author, so that only this one version shows up in my library containing all of the author's works (see green arrow in the screenshot below taken from an university OPAC).
Other versions of the name could be carried in other data fields (see red arrow in the screenshot below).
Citavi, a third party library program, allows the user to merge names by himself:
I would prefer the first solution (done by Logos), but I would be also happy with the second one (done by the user).

I think a better solution was visible in the older Factbook format and in the handling of Bible book names - the recognition of synonyms via a reference table. Using a fixed name doesn't work well across alphabets and writing systems, Think Asian market.
I like MJ's solution better - and actually Logos uses a unique numerical identifier per author (as can be seen from shop searches) and thus would be able to facilitate that easily.

Sorry, I don't understand. What are you pointing out with "that"?
the merging of different author names under one ID. It would be easy if the ID is a (meaningless and already existing) number and all spellings and variants of the name are just attributes of that ID.
Hi! Would it be possible to separately filter the translation and cross-references in a biblical text? For example, I’d like to see translation footnotes but not cross-reference footnotes just because the cross-reference footnotes can clutter my view a bit and make it harder to see the translation footnotes. Right now, I…
Can you make the Canvas tool app and other advanced features available on Android the same way you have them available on the Ipad?
When creating favorites I have a standard construction that I use based on Bill Abel's webinar. Unfortunately, I have to recreate the entire structure from scratch each time. There should be functionality to copy a base structure and paste it in. This would be a real timesaver.
It would be nice to have a 130% zoom for the toolbar view option. There's too much of a gap between the current 120% and 140%.
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.
