Logos Mobile - Layouts

You can save any group of tabs as a layout for use later. With saved layouts, you can switch out your open resources for various kinds of study without opening and closing each resource every time you want to switch gears. For example, you can move from one layout, built for personal devotional reading to another built for sermon preparation! And with saved layouts, you won’t have to open and organize individual resources.

You can have up to six open tabs at a time and use link sets to make sure your tabs all move together.
