Logos Help and References in New Tab
New Tab does not take a bible reference from the tab immediately to its left (as per Help). The last tab to its left that has a reference is used. However, if the last tab clicked is w/out a reference then New Tab does not display a reference i.e. a tab with a reference is ignored. This also might be a Bug.

Thanks for the Slide Tool
I don't know where I mentioned this before — it's not in my Posts or in my Bookmarks — but I want to thank you for putting this feature back in the Sermon Manager/Writer. This saves a lot of time as I normally write my sermons in Scrivener and past them into Logos. Selecting a large area containing references allows one to…

Cannot add Public Documents

Because Shift+Click is being expanded to open more links in a floating window, could this functionality be further extended to open Library and Documents from the application toolbar in a floating window as well? I would find this to be consistent, intuitive, and helpful.

ALL Search
Please create an option for the "All" search to ONLY search your library. I don't care about books I don't own outside of my own library, and it's ALWAYS books outside my library that are prioritized and put at the top, and they definitely do not ever express what I'm looking for.

While we don't expect any problems, it represents a fairly substantial…
