Looking forward to increased functionality with apps.logos.com, but just want to confirm one cannot link or sync the windows yet (ex. Bible in one panel and a commentary in the other scrolling together).  I can do this at bible.faithlife.com and biblia.com.  Kinda like/need this capability.

    Actually you can, but not by clicking on the book Icon.  Click the Aa instead.

    Hmm Sarcasm is my love language. Obviously I love you.

    Non-intuitive.

    This functionality needs improvement to mimic the desktop version. Linking in the desktop makes use of serial resource associations. That is, a whole commentary set is associated together, so if I jump from a reference in which one member of that set is open to another reference which would require opening another commentary in the set, Logos does that if the original commentary and Bible are linked. Not so here. That needs to be implemented.

    In another post on this subject I asked that when opening a versified resource that it open to the current verse, which it does not do.

    What now happens is that after linking a commentary, if one opens another one covering the same range, it forces the entire set of links to revert to the first verse in the range the commentary covers. This is most aggravating. Fixing how a resource opens should remedy this.

    In addition I suggest that a new resource should not automatically be linked just because that option was set for another resource. That should be a manual operation. Others may differ, but that would be my preference.

    TCB... Well I'll be!  Never thought to look at the Aa!

    Thanks.

    Mark... Good thoughts.  I sure like the apps.logos option and optimistic it will increasingly be very robust and intuitive and logical.

    I agree.  I knew I had seen it before and it took me a moment to remember where.

    Thanks Mark for the feedback. These are good suggestions, and we'll look into what it will take to do them on the web.
