The step to next/previous feature is great. For Bibles, the Article selection should step by pericope instead of chapters. Chapters is already a selection possibility.
The article option steps by pericope in the Bibles that have them. It would be nice to have the submenu note this.
Thanks for the info. All of the following bibles have pericope titles. Only three jump by pericope. So it is more of a bible formatting issue than a software issue. Hopefully more bibles are formatted to take advantage of the feature! ESV & ESV-CE - jumps by chapter RSV2CE - jumps by chapter NLT - jumps by chapter NABRE - jumps by chapter NIV - jumps by chapter CSB - jumps by chapter NASB95 - jumps by chapter NET & NET2e - jumps by pericope NRSV-CE - jumps by pericope
This is a user set parameter
I checked a couple of the Bibles he indicated (which have pericopes); even when you set the parameter to Article, it steps to the next Chapter, unlike the NRSV-CE which correctly steps to the next pericope.
Can you give me your examples to test? Any that do not jump by pericope should be reported as a bug.
I tried the ESV, NIV, and CSB.
Mr. Smith. Just do exactly what I did. 1) Choose a bible 2) Make sure "Step to next/previous" is set to Article 3) Hit the up and down arrows and observe what happens
I gave you the results from 11 different bibles already. The data speaks for itself. 1) The feature does work as advertised (stepping to pericopes when available) 2) Only a few bibles are formatted properly to take advantage of this feature
(I just checked again as some bibles were recently update. Interestingly, NRSV doesn't jump to pericope, but NRSV-CE does!)
PS: Thanks for the interest!
MJ (she) has already written up a bug report for this. I’m using my phone right now and I won’t trouble myself to look for the link to post here.
ETA: I'm back on my laptop; here is her post:
@John Z.
The NRSV does jump by pericope for me which is why I thought you had the unit of step set incorrectly.
This is a big issue. Most of us study by pericope, not by chapter. Please fix this for all Bibles (especially the ESV please!)
Agreed. It is a bit disappointing that 8 months have passed since this has been reported and nothing has been done. Agreed that ESV and ESV-CE should be a priority.

While I appreciate the Save as file and Send to Microsoft Word options, there are times when I just want to stay in Logos. It would be a nice addition to have some formatting preferences when printing. For example, when making a passage list, often the Scripture on the left is formatted something like: 2 Thessaloni ans 3:5…
pretty much exactly what it says. I don't currently see a shortcut for adding an anchor to an open note. sometimes I have notes with many anchors and scrolling down to find the button can be tedious.
I have downloaded so many existing highlighters that I may use at one time or another. It would be very helpful if you could hide highlighters in the list when they are not being used and not force them to be deleted. It is hard to find my main list of highlighters when you have a long list of them.
First let me say I really enjoy using Logos bible software but would enjoy it more if it offered more background color options other than three shades of gray, paper, and default. Why not give us some greens, blues, yellow…etc. Also why not have the capability to change individual backgrounds per screen. Example: I might…
I've been buying Logos packages for years, and sadly, since the shift toward a subscription‑based model, I no longer see a reason to pay or rent something that I will not own. I would really like to use the AI features, but they are tied to the subscription, which is disappointing. If I could use them with the “legacy”…
