• Factbook
  • Lenses*
    • Lenses allow users to switch between various aspects of a topic, like Biblical or Theological. This filters which sections are shown, and can affect what Key Article is shown.
  • Sections for Bible References*
    • People, Places, and Things, lists all the Biblical Entities from the passage.
    • Biblical Events lists all the things that happened in the passage, replacing the old Events section for Bible references.
    • Reported Speech is a brand new section that collects the sayings of Bible characters in the passage.
  • UI*
    • Factbook has a new look and feel, including a featured image for many topics.
• Help Center
  • “Help about this feature” (or F1 from an active panel) now opens the Help article in Help Center.
• Insights
  • The insights panel will open by default in resources with no prior side panel settings saved.
  • Cross References card is now available when running the application offline.
• Smart Synopsis*
  • Smart Synopsis collects answers from your top results in Smart Search and uses AI to combine them into a single response, with supporting citations to Logos books.
  • Smart Synopsis is like the “Search Summary” feature, but where a Summary condenses a single article, Synopsis consolidates the results from several different sources, providing a more complete answer. This is especially useful when there are different perspectives on a topic.
    • Run a Smart Search, especially for a topical word or a short question you want to answer.
