Logos provides a number of Guides to aid you in your Bible study: Passage Guide, Exegetical Guide, & the Bible Word Study Guide. In these guides are sets of tools which are shown by blue bars. When you click on one of the tool bars it is expanded to show you whatever information that the tool bar provides. Tools within the Passage Guide and Exegetical Guide can be made to overlap (you can add tools from either of these guides within either guide type).
Page Contents
The Passage Guide (PG) provides a wealth of tools for general study of a scripture or a scripture range. 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 headings as suggestions. You can either click on one of these suggestions or just click in the reference box to retain the scripture that you typed into it.
When you click on a tool bar, often you will see a progress bar appear. When Logos is done searching for relevant information, if info was found then that tool bar is expanded. If no relevant info was found the text in tool bar is grayed out to let you know that none was found.
Not all Guides or tools in this Guide are available in all Logos base packages! Please see Logos Comparison Chart and look close to the bottom for Features and Databases listings to see which tools are available in your base package.
PG is a good place to start your study. But if you often don’t use certain tool bars or add certain tool bars, then you would probably want to create a Custom Passage Guide. Logos provides a Guide Editor tool which makes this easy. Once that you have created a Custom PG you can easily get to it from the Guides menu. Your Custom PGs are shown under the Guides drop down menu. If you create a Custom PG and name it My Passage Guide, Logos recognizes this name and uses it from the Home page when you enter a scripture reference there in the Go box.

The Exegetical Guide (EG) is for digging into the original language words found in your scripture range.

Once that you have created a Custom EG you can easily get to it from the Guides menu. Your Custom EGs are shown under the Guides drop down menu. If you create a Custom EG and name it My Exegetical Guide, Logos recognizes this name and uses it from the Home page when you enter a scripture reference there in the Go box.
When you click on a tool bar, often you will see a progress bar appear. When Logos is done searching for relevant information, if info was found then that tool bar is expanded. If no relevant info was found the text in tool bar is grayed out to let you know that none was found.
