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.

Every time I open a new book, I have to open View > Zoom and click 5 times to "➕" button to adjust text size suitable to my eyes. Everything else (menus etc) in Logos Bible Study app works fine with 100% (Program Zoom and Content Zoom), but TEXT in Books themselves look good when 180%, and it is possible to adjust it now…
It would be nice if your store's filter options for “Ownership Status” included a separate button for “you have temporary access."
I’m a power user of Logos and rely on keyboard-driven workflows for fast, focused Bible study. The current fixed keyboard shortcuts are limited and unintuitive for my setup, which forces me to use the mouse frequently and leads to accidental triggering of the wrong commands. Please add a customizable keyboard-shortcut…
I would like to be able to add tables to sermon documents and when upload my sermon documents the pictures and tables will be added to the sermon materials.
Would it be hard to display filter categories in bold? These categories appear in a few places, like in: Sermon Manager Notes The filters would become much more user friendly if the category headings would be in bold.
