NEW: Reading Plan Creation Wizard is now available on Desktop beta

We’re excited to introduce the Reading Plan Creation Wizard, a brand-new way to plan your study!

The Reading Plan Creation Wizard transforms how you engage with your library by replacing manual, document-heavy configurations with a guided, step-by-step experience. Instead of spending time on technical setup, you can now build a plan that fits your life in just a few clicks. Whether you are studying a specific Bible passage range or another book from your library, the wizard leads you through a goal-oriented setup that prioritizes your personal study habits.

By focusing on your specific goals, you can choose exactly how you want to measure your progress. This means creating a plan that fits a "15 minutes a day" window so you can stay consistent without feeling overwhelmed, or maybe creating an open-ended plans that act as a persistent digital bookmark, ensuring you never lose your place. It also simplifies community engagement, making it seamless to join a shared plan from your church or school and stay in sync with your group.

Staying consistent is often the hardest part of learning. That’s why we’ve made it easier than ever to transform your study goals into a daily practice that sticks for the long haul. Give the Reading Plan Creation Wizard a try in Logos today. We can’t wait to hear what you think!

In the reading plan tool the buttons to continue past the selection of a bible or a book do not appear. I am using MacBook Pro M1 with the latest version of MacOS. I tried it from all the places you can initiate a reading plan. I reduced app scaling and content scaling to see if that made a difference but it is the same. There is no ability to scroll down.

@Antony Brennan thank you for the report, that is certainly not intended. We will investigate further!

I previoulsy had the dark setting on, but when I turned light setting on and scaled up the app to 200% the next button appears cut off at the bottom and I was able to proceed and make a reading plan. I turned dark mode back on and the button does not appear. UPDATED: If I scale back to 100% it does appear in light setting but not dark.

Just thought I would let you know in case it helps diagnose the issue.

Other than the above issue, I have to say this is everything I ever dreamed of for Reading Plans 🥳

Feedback: It would be nice to get a preview of the first day's reading (especially with the pre-built plans).

@Antony Brennan thank you for the additional info! We were able to reproduce internally with that. Glad to hear you are enjoying it otherwise.

@PL thank you for your feedback as well, I will pass it along to the team.

After selecting "Another Book", why list Bibles? I'd like to see non-bibles.
The Wizard window needs to be floating as I cannot refer to my layout for info relative to the Plan.
If closed, I lose all the input.
- There should be a warning, but I would prefer the input to be saved and be able to restart the Wizard.
As a Commentary Plan can be specified by Pages but read by Passages, I'd like to see a better integration
- In addition to Whole Book, allow an option of All Passages, which ignores pages without bible milestones
  - otherwise I have to specify a page range e.g. pg. 1-705 in EEC 1-3 John
- Edit'ing the plan usually reverts the readings to page numbers e.g. changing from Whole Book to pg 1-1290 for NIV Application Commentary on the Bible when that page is a bible milestone.

I like that reading breaks seem to be more top level rather than awkwardly breaking off mid-paragraph. I agree with Dave that hiding everything behind the wizard is a drawback.

Something I would like to see is an easy creation of a reading plan that varies in tempo. I have seminary courses where I will have to read 100 pages one week, but only 30 the next. I would like to be able to more easily do this rather than creating a reading plan for each week on different parts of the same book, and then combining them all into a single reading plan in the Customizable Plan option.

It might be nice to start not from the book, but the schedule and tell the wizard this is my time frame (1 week or a whatever), and this is what needs to be read in that period, adding multiple books, sections of books, or articles and having the wizard divide it up evenly from there. Then being able to add another schedule block for next week. This arrangement could make it easier for workflows that draw from multiple resources in a given week in preparation for a sermon or series as well as planning a semester out.
