!! General

*In Logos 8*, the guides do not have a Title/Description box, nor Notes boxes.

 

The available Guides and sections depend on your Logos base packages.

 

When you click on a section header, you will often see a progress bar appear. When Logos has found relevant information, then that section is expanded. If no relevant info was found, the text in the header is grayed out to let you know that none was found.

!! [[Passage Guide]]

 The Passage Guide (PG) provides a wealth of tools for general study of a scripture e.g. access to your commentaries, lists of cross references and parallel passages. When you start to enter a scripture in the /Reference/ box at the top of the guide Logos will show you a drop down list of /pericopes/ as suggestions. You can either select one of these suggestions or just click in the reference box to retain the scripture that you typed into it.

!! Making Changes to a Guide

*Logos 7 and earlier*

*Logos 8 and later*

Note that guides do not have a Title/Description box, nor Notes boxes. \\ You can use the *Add* menu to include additional sections, reposition sections via drag and drop, or delete sections via the X in their header. These settings are saved for /subsequent use/ of the guide i.e. guide instances for a specific passage are *not* saved. Changes will be propagated to other panels that you have open for *that* guide e.g. from Favorites. Consequently, you will have to create a [[custom guide >> # L8 (…)

 

If you want to revert a non-custom guide to the /standard/ guide settings, right click and select *Reset to default*.

 

*Earlier versions*

You can add text to a guide within the Title/Description box and Notes boxes. You can use the *Add* menu to include additional sections,  reposition sections via drag and drop, or delete sections via the *X* in their header.

Whenever you do that, Logos will /save/ that guide instance for future use i.e. with the word or scripture reference that you entered.

When you enter a new word or scripture, though, the guide will revert to its /template/ settings; the changes are temporary and you can only make them permanent by [[Customizing >> # Guide Editor]] the guide.

Saved guides can be found in the *Guides* menu on the right hand side. Just click on one to open it.

 

*Logos 8 and later*

Note that guides do not have a Title/Description box, nor Notes boxes. \\ You can use the *Add* menu to include additional sections, reposition sections via drag and drop, or delete sections via the X in their header.

These settings are saved for /subsequent use/ of the guide - guide instances with specific settings are *not* saved. If you want to revert to the standard guide settings, right click and select *Reset to default*.

However, you can still [[create a /custom/ guide >> # L8Editor]].
