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.

When I have the NA28 and English bible linked. Over a study time, when I bring the mouse over the Greek word to see its morphology. For example Mouse overs over eisin and it automatically parses it. Great tool. However, Over time, say 30 mins, the software slows down and when I attempt the same process, logos seems to…
How do I find all occurrences of a Hiphil, infinitive construct where the initial 'he' has been replaced by a preposition (syncopation)? All of my efforts have failed so far. Anyone know the steps in Logos?
Probably simple enough Q[s] for any Logos Master: What corpus of resources does Power Lookup [PL] display (and method and extent of enlarging it)? So, Google AI suggests "choose Power Lookup to see definitions from your dictionaries or references to that text." And a Logos article is similarly suggestive of a broad search…
My pastor taught me how he prepares sermons and the steps he takes to get to Sunday. I took his workflow and recreated it in Logos, but I want to be able to pull in my tools and resources into it. How can I improve the workflow? See the link. https://flshare.net/n79ad5
I frequently import Sermon and Podcast transcripts into Logos as a personal book. I would like to edit the .docx file before its imported to optimize its searchability. Is there any additional threads, documentation, training, tips, or tricks on this other than what's in Logos Help?
