Hiding Book=Removed from Hard Drive but Still Online

I'm not 100% sure if it works this way or not, but it would be nice. In Logos 4, when I decide to "hide" a book from the Library using the Settings panel, it'd be great if the books themselves would remove themselves off my hard drive, but if I "unhid" the books using the settings pane, automatically connect to Logos.com and re-download the books off the Internet. With Vyrso, I can see me purchasing and reading some books one time through the Vyrso apps or even Logos 4, but some of the books I won't want to keep in my Logos library searchable. I'll read them and want to remove them off my hard drive. So being able to "hide" books and have them removed from my hard drive to free up disk space would be great, knowing always that if I needed the book back in my Logos library, I could "unhide" the book and have it re-downloaded to my Logos library anytime. Similar to iTunes in iCloud. All of my audio files are "in the cloud", but if there's audio files I'm only going to listen to once or a few times, I can delete them off my hard drive, knowing if I ever need the file again, one click and it's there.
Thanks!

That is precisely the way it now works.

Hi Nathan.
As George says, what you describe is how it works.
However, you mentioned Vyrso. So its worth knowing that hiding books doesn't affect what resources are visible on the mobile apps. Even after you hide resources in Logos 4 they are still visible in apps such as Vyrso, hopefully this will change at some stage.

Great. I guess Logos was one step ahead of me. :-)

Nice to know. Yeah, would be good if Logos could sync the hidden resources list with mobile apps. Maybe one for a future update.

Noticed 4.5c Beta 1 release notes include sync v2 for Hidden Resources; wonder about future mobile update ?
Keep Smiling [:)]

I don't… Unless there is a change with how this feature works. There are plenty of books I DONT want in L4, but I do want access to on my mobile app.
