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.

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.
