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.

!! Differences between Logos Versions

When you upgrade from a version earlier than Logos 8, your favourite /custom/ guides becomes your /standard/ guide e.g. "My Passage Guide" becomes "Passage Guide", etc.; otherwise the standard guide has Logos' /default/ settings.

When you upgrade from a version earlier than Logos 8, your favourite /custom/ guides becomes your /standard/ guide \\e.g. "My Passage Guide" becomes "Passage Guide", etc.; otherwise the standard guide has Logos' /default/ settings.

 

When you make changes to an open guide (below), the settings are saved for /subsequent use/ of the guide, and changes will be propagated to other panels that are open for *that* guide e.g. as a /duplicate/, or from Favorites. In /earlier versions/ the changes resulted in a /saved/ instance of the guide, and the open guide would revert to its /template/ settings after entering a new word or scripture; you had to create a /custom/ guide if you wanted to retain those settings.
