 A /Reading Plan/ is a tool of Logos which allows you to setup the reading of a Bible or book in a specified time period and aids you in tracking your progress. You can setup as many reading plans as you like. This wiki page will provide the basic information in setting up a reading plan and using the reading plan. For specific custom reading plans see this wiki page: [[Reading Plans]].

!!!! _Editing a Shared Reading Plan_

!!! _Editing a Shared Reading Plan_

   "Plans collaborated with a group will no longer be editable except for Bible version used." (Logos Help)

  If you have shared a reading plan with a FaithLife group, you will no longer be able to edit that plan. However, you can start a new Reading Plan document, and, from the _Add_ menu choose "Add readings from ... Another Reading Plan." You will be able to import the readings from the shared plan and continue editing. The new document will need to be reshared with the group once you have corrected/completed it.
