Logos 45.0
Version: 45.0.069
Release Date: September 23rd, 2025
New Features & Improvements for Subscribers
Sermon and Bible Study Markers
- New markers let you see your sermons and Bible studies as you’re reading the Bible, just as you already can for your notes. Hover over the margin ribbon or icon for document details, then click to open the document. You can toggle the markers from Formatting > Markers. View discussion here.
Smart Synopsis Improvements
- Smart Synopsis now provides clearer, sentence-level citations that link directly to source material. Footnotes and bibliographies have been updated to make it easier to verify information and navigate to cited content.
- Smart Synopsis now has a much-improved hover tip, which is shown when you hover over footnote indicators or page numbers:
- For books you own, instead of showing a preview of the beginning of the relevant article, the hovertip now shows the exact sentences used by the AI to inform its answer. This allows you to verify the synopsis much more easily than before.
- The hovertip is now shown for Cloud books, in addition to downloaded books.
- If you don’t own the book, the hovertip will show details about the book used by the AI, but it won’t show you the content from that book.
Other Improvements for All Users
Factbook
- The Theology Guide is now integrated into Factbook, using the existing Theological lens. When a Theology Guide is opened, you will be redirected to the Factbook panel with the Theological Lens active. This change brings two new section changes:
- The old Systematic Theologies section has been replaced with a more powerful Theologies section.
- Related Topics is now included in the Theological lens to show where a topic fits in hierarchies like Cultural Concepts, Systematic Theology, and Counseling Themes.
- We’ve added a new Discover lens to Factbook. This lens makes it easier to browse resources you don’t yet own, so you can explore what’s available to unlock without sorting through books already in your library. Find more about the lens here.
- We’ve brought together the Books From Your Library and Bookstore sections together into a single, streamlined Books section in Factbook. With just a quick tab switch, you can move between the books you already own and new titles waiting to be discovered. Find more about the new Books here.
Subscription Offer at Launch
- Some new users will be shown a subscription offer when the app first loads.
Dynamic Toolbar
- The Dynamic toolbar is now turned on for all users in Bibles and other books. The old resource toolbar has been retired.
In App Purchase
- The subscription links in the About panel, Account menu and Dashboard header now open an in-app purchase modal instead of redirecting to the web browser.
