How to Set Your Top Bible

Print Friendly and PDF

Logos allows you to set the default Bible version that will appear when you click a Bible reference in a book or report or when you perform a search.

Note: Available to all subscriptions and in all legacy packages Starter and above.

There are two ways to set your Top Bible: through the Command Box and through prioritized books.

 

Command Box

The Command Box will be accessed in a slightly different way, depending on whether you have Logos configured with the Application Toolbar at the top or on the left. (For details on changing this, please see this article)

If you have the toolbar at the top, the command box will appear just to the right of the Tools icon.
