Logos Tech Tip: Spring is in the air, and as you feel that itch to tidy your study nook, don't leave out your virtual Logos workspace and library. We all rotate through key resources as we study different topics and areas of the Bible. Keep what you use most at your fingertips by restocking your shortcuts bar (the links on your toolbar between the Tools and the Sync icon). Follow these steps:   Open your library. Search for your favorite books. Try filtering your results by "most used" to see them at a glance. Drag each book to your shortcuts bar.   If you have any books on your shortcuts bar that are getting dusty, right-click and delete them. Note: You can also add other items to the shortcuts bar: Docs/Guides/Tools: Locate an item and drag it to the shortcuts bar. Go Box commands: Add commands, like "update active layout "by typing them in the command box and dragging them from the drop-down list to the shortcuts bar. Layouts: Drag saved layouts or layout templates (like vertical alignment) to the shortcuts bar. Hyperlinks: Drag any hyperlink from your computer or Logos—including links to content in Logos—to the shortcuts bar. And don't forget, you can also group your shortcuts into folders! Now let that fresh arrangement of resources draw you deeper into your next Bible study.

From Logos User Educational Team ... Angelic announcements unfold the drama of Advent, and as they appear, we hear the repeated command not to fear. In Jesus, God himself has drawn near to free us from fear. A search can locate all the places addressing fear, but a chart is an excellent way to see a bigger picture and spot trends in the biblical text. At a glance, you can see who addresses this idea the most (you’ll probably be surprised). The Charts Tool makes it easy to visualize your search results with a single click, and you can choose from a wide variety of chart styles, including several pictograms with an array of color palettes from which to choose. You can also adjust the display based on the total number of hits in a book or how often these hits occur. Run this search in Logos and click Charts to see it in action. Check out this video to learn more about the Charts Tool and see other examples. https://files.logoscdn.com/v1/files/46256465/assets/11165372/content.mp4?signature=lp4AHGI_dUwmdAV3quKPXbMjVjw
