HOW DO YOU OPEN NEW PARALLEL WINDOWS / PANES / PAINS

I just bought some Loeb Classics, which are Greek writings with facing page English translations in the printed version. The Logos version has separate modules for Greek & English. I want to open each (Greek & English) in parallel windows (panes, tabs or whatever) so I have them both on screen at same time. But I cannot for the life of me figure out how to open a second pane on the screen. Help is useless. Tool bar is useless. Can you open multiple windows (pains, tabs, pains) side by side? How?

It is just a matter of grabbing the resource tab and dragging it to the position you want.

On the desktop, or on iPad/iPhone/Android?

I have no idea how to grab a tab -- I never observed any grabable tabs. I don't know why when you have one module open in a window & activate a new module, why it doesn't just appear in a new parallel window.

I am using a MacBook.

Well, I finally got the 2 modules in parallel by opening in floating windows & selecting A link. Then followed horrible nightmare, trying to get them to track & link & be readable. I had to uncheck show footnotes. At first it was making 2 columns in the English window, with only a few words per line. Then somehow it stopped that. I found that it could not be controlled with the scroll wheel, but down arrow worked to show next page. It was very annoying & frustrating for some time.

You probably had gotten it in multi-column view somehow. You want to be sure Columns is set to None (which will make each page flow and scroll freely rather than being page-layout view which 1 Column mode does).

It does sound like you're new at dealing with Logos windows/panes and layouts. I would highly recommend viewing the training videos that Mark Barnes created: First Steps and Layouts. Note that the method of saving named layouts has changed slightly in Logos 5 (and 6) (those videos were made in Logos 4), but then you can look at https://www.logos.com/training/logos5/layouts to see the specifics of what is different now.
