Updates at a glance:

  1. Smart Search Synopsis: Find concise answers synthesized from books in your library.
  2. Factbook’s Bible Passage reports: Drill into the people, places, and events of any Bible passage.
  3. Factbook lenses: Switch between a biblical or theological view on Factbook topics.

Plus more!

1. Smart Search Synopsis

Find the answers you’re searching for in a concise response. Get a quick, accurate overview of a topic or answers to a question—from your library’s resources—with Smart Search Synopsis. 

Since it not only offers a synopsis of the top search results but also provides citations for the Logos resources it consulted, you can verify the answers you get and easily follow the linked citations to dig deeper.

Search got smarter so that you can get better answers!

2. New sections in Factbook for Bible Passages

Get a 360-view of any Bible passage! When using Factbook to study a passage, you can now easily navigate to study the people, places, events, and speeches it mentions.

For example, if you’re studying Genesis 15, quickly display all the things and people included in the account, each place referenced, as a breakdown of its speeches and events.

See how Factbook further empowers your Bible research.

The Content Innovation team emphasized how cool it is to see data that was collected years ago and has been mostly hidden get presented to users in a valuable and compelling way.

3. New UI and Lenses for Factbook

Gain new insights by easily shifting your perspective. Accompanying its brand new sections, Factbook also has a new look and feel to its user interface, with more interactivity, clearer typography, and featured imagery.

Importantly, this new interface allows you to look at any topic from a variety of lenses, such as “biblical” or “theological,” helping you to find the most useful Factbook insights—whatever your perspective.
