Getting Started with Logos

Note that updates to the software and updated/new resources will be automatically downloaded by default, but you can change *Automatically Start Downloads* to *No* in Tools > Program Settings. You cannot know what is being downloaded, but you will get used to the size of a software update, so anything smaller will be a resource update(s).

 

Software updates are announced in the appropriate forum e.g. a thread titled "8.0 SR-1 (8.0.0.0583) is Now Available", and you will knowwhathasbeenchanged. Whilst this doesnotapply to resourceupdates, you can find which resources have been updated in Library. Right click on a Library column header e.g. Title, then click "Last Updated" to add that column to the Library display, followed by dragging the column header to the desired place. Clicking the "Last Updated" header will sort resources by date.

In *versions prior to Logos 8*, the Home Page will have header items titled *Installed 7.xx* and *Resources Updated*, which you can check after the updates have downloaded. If you don't see them, make sure they are checked in the Customize menu and/or refresh the Home Page (press *F5* in Windows, or *(fn)-F5* in Mac).

 

*Tip:* Many [[free resources >> Free Logos Books]] are available (Logos does not charge credit card for $ 0.00).
