New Features & Improvements for subscribers
Insights
- Most cards now maximize in place with expand/collapse buttons, replacing the modal view and Open link.
- Updated Factbook cards UI: Now grouped as a single card titled “People, Places, and Things”. Tapping an entry opens maximized view with expanded details, key article preview, and links to Factbook and search.
- Updated Related Books card UI: Merged the change button and resource title for the Parallel Resources picker, added a button to open the resource, and now custom resource selections persist across app restarts.
- Tapping Bible references in Insights cards now shows a verse preview pop-up, letting you read content instantly without leaving the card.
Search
- Suggest Smart Bible Search when precise search has no results or contains more than three words, except for advanced syntax queries.
- Ensure Search Mode is selectable with multiple Bible collections.
Bible Study Builder
- Automatically append searched passages to metadata when questions are added.
Sermon Builder
- Keyboard shortcuts for passage block insertion on tablets with physical keyboards have been updated to avoid interrupting text entry. Use CMD + Enter to create a passage block from a reference.
Other Improvements
Factbook
- Factbook now includes results from Cloud Books and the Print Library Catalog.
- Cloud books will appear in all sections.
