Another tip of the day (TOTD) series for Logos/Verbum 10. They will be short and often drawn from forum posts. Feel free to ask questions and/or suggest forum posts you'd like to see included. Adding comments about the behavior on mobile and web apps would be appreciated by your fellow forumites. A search for "L/V 10+ Tip of the Day site:community.logos.com" on Google should bring the tips up as should this Reading List within the application.

This tip is inspired by the forum post: Change default bible per layout or workflow? - Logos Forums

Any command you can type into the Go Bar (marked "Passage or topic") can be made into a shortcut.

So say you type in "set preferred bible to esv" into the Go Bar.

One of the responses under "Tools" will be: "Set preferred Bible to English Standard Version".  You can actually drag and drop this phrase to the shortcut bar (immediately below Tools) .

It will create a shortcut with the cover image of the ESV, named "Set preferred Bible to English Standard Version".  This lengthy name can then be edited and shortened to "Set preferred Bible to ESV".

You can proceed in like manner with as many translations as you like.  You can then simply toggle between different preferred Bibles by a single click on one of these shortcuts.

Tip 128

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."
