New Features & Improvements for Subscribers
Study Assistant
- Author Filtering: You can now filter by author within the collection picker. Author sorting works just like any other filter in the collection picker. Selecting an author, Study Assistant will only use books from that author to inform its response. Much like it will only search books within a collection if you have specified one.
Other Changes and Improvements for All Users
Reading Plans
- New reading plan visual filters are now available, and is unified across all platforms.
- Reading banners feature dynamic text to track your plan's progress.
- End banners provide clear updates on your next scheduled reading, session completions, and completing a full reading plan.
- Reading banners include approximate reading duration. The top banner covers your entire session, while the end banner includes the time for any remaining readings within the session.
- Redesigned the reading plan settings menu to make it easier to see and manage the plans attached to your current book.
Study Assistant
- Improved Study Assistant footnotes to display a popup preview on the first tap, and navigate to the resource on the second tap.
- Saved Study Assistant conversations now accurately display their generated title in your Favorites and History.
- Study Assistant collection picker will now reset its state any time the picker is collapsed.

Retiring the Faithlife Study Bible & Ebooks Apps
