Best way to use FSB in L4?

In L4, the FSB can be used in its own tab, similar to the Apologetics Study Bible.

This is OK but not great.  Shouldn't it be possible to integrate it with the version of the Bible that you are currently reading? i.e. as it would if you were using a printed version of any study bible.

Or am I missing something?

    AFAIK, all study bibles in Logos separate the notes from the bible text. So, e.g. in case of ESVSB, you'll have one tab with the bible text and the other with the notes (the SB resource), both scrolling together as a "linked set", this small A, B, C. Now you can do this with the FSB as well. I haven't seen a Logos SB that looks like a printed SB in one tab - but you can of course stack on tab upon another and have the layout look approximately such.

    The cool thing is that the text excerpts in the FSB notes are dynamically adjusted to the bible version you use. So I'm not missing any functionality here - what kind of integration are you looking for?

    I dunno, my fsb has the notes as part of the bible itself[meaning: i click the note reference and it changes the page not adding another tab or a floating window/pop-up window], i have not found another resource directed as FSB NOTES.

    Are we getting two different Bible resources?

    Mick is right… All study bibles in Logos function independently from a translation, in a separate panel. Personally, I think this is preferable, as it allows you to see the text in context better.

    For those using the FSB in Logos4, I suggest linking your panels and choosing the appropriate translation for the bible text in the FSB.

    Changing the translation in the Faithlife Study Bible doesn't change the Bible links to anything other than my preferred (prioritized) translation.  Perhaps this is a known issue.  Is this what others are seeing also?

    It does not change the links, the bold text changes in the notes changes to reflect the wording of the translation linked if the translation has a reverse Interlinear

    Except for the NET Bible. Unless you don't call this a study bible. In the Bible text you just click on the notes and see them in a popup.

    I don't call it a study bible. [:P] Of course, any Bible that has footnotes has the ability to "click on the notes and see them in a popup." The NET Bible just has more than most.

    All study Bibles in Logos are made separate to allow us to use them with any translation. I really appreciate this because I have one study Bible based on the NKJV, a translation I don't use much. Unlike a printed Bible, I am able to use a study Bible with any translation I prefer.
