Multiple Books View allows you to open two or more books in parallel in the same panel. This feature can be toggled on and off. When active, the Multiple Books View displays your chosen books in parallel each time you open the “host” book, such as your chosen Bible or commentary.
Note: To view multiple books together on Logos Mobile, learn more about creating Split Screens here.

Get Started
Step 1: Open a book you want to study.
The first book you open serves as the “host” book, which controls what is shown in your other parallel books.
Note: This feature is only available in books that have milestone indexes as in Bibles, commentaries, etc. (For more information about milestones, click here.)
Step 2: Add a parallel text.
Then click Add parallel text in the View tab to open the Multiple Books Display menu.
Locate your desired books:
- Find books to display, either by typing the book name in the Find box or scrolling down the list of available books.
- Add the book to the multiple display by checking the box next to it — this will turn on the multiple books display if not already enabled.
- Optionally save this view for later use.
When you close the menu, the books you've selected appear in the panel alongside the host book.
Note: If you navigate or scroll in the host book, the “guest” books follow. However, if you scroll in a “guest” book, the “host” book remains in the same location.
Display Options
- Toggle Multiple Books display by clicking the toggle or by pressing Cmd+Shift+M (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+M (Windows)
- You can also select whether you want the parallel books to display vertically or horizontally by clicking the appropriate icon
Advanced Features
The Multiple Books view allows you to quickly apply Visual Filters, Inline Interlinears, and Inline Searches to several books at once. To do so, add books to a panel with Multiple Books view enabled, then select the filter or view you want to apply.
