Hi, Everyone

I just started Logos Academic Training LT151 with Logos Platinum software and in the Topic Guide I don't have the section called " Description and Related Topics " mention by Proctor, Morris.

I tried to edit the template to see if I could add these section but no luck they were not there too so!

Does anyone knows why or how to get these section to be displayed?

Thanks

    Description (and title) is the first section in any Guide.

    I'm not sure what portion of the Topics section be means by "Related Topics".

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    There's the text from the book and that's from has I said earlier Proctor, Morris

    Understanding the Different Sections the Topic Guide

    Okay, but let’s look at some of these sections here in the Topic Guide. Keep in mind, this is our “research assistant” that’s going to pull together a lot of information about the subject at hand, in this case, the Trinity.


    Definition

    You’ll see a section called “Definition.” You can expand that section and notice that Logos is providing us with links to articles in our dictionaries and encyclopedias about our subject. You can click one of these links, for example “Trinity in The New Bible Dictionary” on my screen, and that resource opens. You’ll also notice that Logos gives us a “See Also” section. We could also see “God, [His] Being and Attributes” and get further information on that subject, but we’re just going to stick with the “Trinity” here.


    Related Topics

    Collapse that section and then we come to a section called “Related Topics.” Go ahead and expand this and you’ll notice it says “Search for Trinity” in this example. If we click the link for “Trinity,” Logos will open a search panel and tell us every time the word “Trinity” appears in the library. Sometimes when you generate a Topic Guide in this section right here, you will have links to create other Topic Guide reports on related subjects. In our example, we just have a link to the search panel for “Trinity,” and again, remember that will do a word search throughout your entire library.

    And I could see those section that he was referring to in the video so I don't know. 

    In Platinum I don't have these section for some reason :(

    Ah yes ... The Guide has been reworked since he filmed the training.

    The definition comes from the dictionaries; the See Also serves as "Related Topics". The Search for remains.
