Is it possible to hide resources on the iPad? I can do it on the desktop but they still show up on my iPad.

    David - It is my understanding that hiding resources on the desktop should hide them on the mobile device as well. With that said, there are sync issues with the mobile device which are being worked on. It is possible that this is a reflection of the sync problems. I will try it out later and see if I have the same trouble you are experiencing.

    I hid a book and it still showed up on the iPad. I guess either I was wrong about how it worked or it is related to the sync issues.

    • I checked on a book which I had hidden in the last few weeks and it was still visible on the iPad.
    • I then checked on a book which I had hidden many months ago and it was not visible on the iPad.

    So, unless the relationship between hiding books on the desktop and mobile platforms has changed, it does look like this relates to the sync issue so, hopefully, will be released in sync v2.

    Out of curiosity, did you check to see if the hidden book was mobile enabled? My only hidden resource (before yesterday) was a "quick start" guide to an eBible collection, so I don't know if it was mobile enabled or (probably) not.

    Hi Alabama

    Out of curiosity, did you check to see if the hidden book was mobile enabled?

    Now that is a very good question and one I didn't think of!

    The things I have hidden were resources I acquired with my base package and I don't know whether they are mobile-enabled or not.

    An example of a resource I hid was "Targum Job".

    So if someone who hasn't hidden this could check if it is visible on a mobile device that could move us on a bit!
