Choosing resources that show up when doing a word study

Is there a way for me to choose which resources are consulted to provide definitions when doing a word study? I have several lexicons in my library and sometimes no resource is listed and I have to manually open a resource to do the lookup. Also, currently a resource in German seems to be the default which is problematic since I don't read German.

Yes you can. Go to your library and type in type:lexicon. At this point you will be viewing only lexicons. In the top right of the library area there is prioritize resources Button. Click that and it will open up a prioritization box to the right of the library. Now from the lexicons that are displayed in your library choose the ones you want to see and drag them into the prioritize resources area. Drag as many as you'd like. These will be your preferred lexicons and the software will leverage these anytime you want to word study. Note. If you can, determine the name of the German resource that you don't want to see and remove it from the prioritization list.

Myke's suggestions work well for the desktop app but aren't available in the mobile apps (such as Android) and the desktop settings don't affect the way the app selects lexicons.

I am so sorry. I totally missed this formum was about Android and was assumed we were talking about the desktop version. I am so sorry.

hi Jeremy you could hide the German resource on your desk which will suppressant the resource on your mobile app. hopefully, this will allow for an English lexicon to be presented to you instead.
