What are Logos documents and how do I attach them to a group?

I'm a long time Logos user... but just now getting into Faithlife. I see the option to attach a "Logos document" to my group... but can't find anywhere in the forums that describes what this is or how to do it. Would love the ability to share my Logos notes with group members... is that possible?

    Welcome Gregory!

    as a fellow poor user, I have no idea what the Logos documents are for. Presumably something they give to us (maybe the PB sharing thing?).

    But you may upload your own documents and they will show directly below the "Logos documents", as "uploaded documents".

    Hope this helps, Mick

    We haven't been told what Logos Documents are for, but so far we can't upload to that area. We'd only be guessing about what Logos plans to use that section for. Perhaps it will be a place Logos generated notes files, etc. could be uploaded directly from within Logos.

    As N.B. Mick has said, we can use the Uploaded Document's area to share documents with others in our group.

    I created a group reading plan and it appears under the "Logos Documents."

    These then sync to my desktop software as an active reading list.

    The problem is that there is no content in the list.

    Interesting find, Aaron. It doesn't look like one can read these within Faithlife. Guess that is coming.

    There is a bug trying to add a reading list using Firefox. Clicking on the reading plan 'add' button only produces a pop-up as long as the left mouse button is held down. The list isn't persistent so on cannot select a plan from the list. It worked for me in MS Explorer.

    I wonder what other documents Logos has planned. Lectionary readings?

    I'm having the same issue and question. Let me know if Logos adds this feature

    Logos documents are documents that you mainly interact with through the Logos software, such as reading plans and notes. That area of the Faithlife documents tab is where you will see Logos documents that have been shared with the group. Group reading plans created through the Faithlife reading widget will show up there now, and we will soon have more controls to allow you to share your existing Logos documents with groups if you wish.

     

    Thanks,

    Can't wait for these features!  This will be a HUGE addition.  Faithlife is becoming more robust and each tweak seems to be headed in the right direction. [Y]
