I signed up for the Dynamic toolbar through my University and now I would like to go back to my Legacy tool bar. How do i revert back to my previous arrangement?
I found something on the web that said I could do that, but the option is not present.
While it may be available to a small number of users, the vast majority of users do not have this option in Program Settings. You could speak with Logos customer service to see if they could temporarily switch your account back to the previous settings you had in connection with the university; however, Logos has communicated that the Dynamic toolbar will eventually be rolled out to all users.
What you found appears to be an AI result which is incorrect. While there was at one point a mechanism for developers and internal testers to switch to the old toolbar, this was never available publicly. Customer support will not be able to help you make this switch.
As Aaron mentioned, in an upcoming release all users will be using the dynamic toolbar, and the legacy toolbar will not be accessible, not even for developers and internal testers.
That is unfortunate. I have used Logos since before the present owners owned it, and I have gone through all the years of development. I also taught the program at the university level for about 6 years. Logos has consistently made changes that complicated the program and actually made it more difficult for users. This has been done without allowing long time users to continue to use the formatting they have worked hard to create for themselves over years. These last changes have frankly made a mess of something that was fairly easy to use.
I am a university professor. I continually find that there is a level of personnel above us that make decisions that impact the way we all work and teach, but they are people who do not teach themselves and so do not see the process from our vantage point. They make our work harder. You all are the developers, and you are doing the same to us who are just trying to do Bible Study, preparing to teach and preach, and do not need all your bells and whistles to make that happen. And now you have complicated our work. For you, this is probably an exciting set of changes. For many of us, you have made a mess and made Logos all that much harder to use.
I understand. For a program like Logos, you have to continually make changes to justify paying the developers and to continue to make money. But I would urge you to remember the reason why the program was created in the first place. you are not helping people by making things more complicated, and by continually changing the way the program works.
Well, as much as I agree with you, FL says the new thing is more 'discoverable' (as if their new design was just about the only solution they could think of).
I don't update. And won't for the foreseeable future (in FL parlence 'forever'). My Logos is absolutely great as-is.
Now, James:
@Andrew Batishko I've found quite a few AI-generated results about Logos that were incorrect (mostly saying things I could do in the web app or the mobile app that are only in the desktop, but also other stuff).
I assume y'all know it's out there, but if you didn't, it's out there. I doubt there's anything that can be done about it, but it is unfortunate for users who don't know where to come (like here) for help.
@Doc B - it's not "out there" - it's what AI assumes based on what is out there. AI is consistently wrong in most areas if you ask for details rather than a wide overview.

I am a Logos user and although my Subscription is Pro however when I look at My Account it lists No Subscription. And when I try to use Study Assistant it tells me to get a subscription. What is going on?
Bibleworks allowed users to choose from portions of the Bible that had descriptive headers. Example: Exodus 2:1 - Birth and Youth of Moses Logos only lists chapters with no descriptive headings. How can I get the same function that Bibleworks offered in Logos?
I am in Australia, and most seminars are in the middle of our night. Once i am registered, i am told that i will be able to access a recording of the seminar. Has anyone out there been in the same situation? If so, do i get instant access to the seminar via a link (or other way), so that i can see the seminar? It's so…
This is a warning in the log, but it occurs thousands of times in my log. Logos has only been running a few minutes, and already over 3,000 lines generated in error log since startup. There are other warnings also, just not as frequent as wn.dss.dat. Other similar messages occur with wn.lxx2.dat, wn.lxx.dat, wn.gag.dat.…
Hi there, I am new to syntax search, so I am looking for help with an issue where certain results are not showing up. I am trying to find instances similar to the end of Lev. 16:10, where there is a clause with שׁלח and an indirect object with a prepositional ל (for those unfamiliar with Hebrew, the ל would be attached to…
