In his webinar, Dr. John Fallahee guides users through the basics of Logos Bible Software, focusing on layouts, collections, guides and notes.
He begins by highlighting the new LearnLogos.com experience: a live‑training calendar, a more powerful search engine, a streamlined ticket system, a VIP program, and AI‑powered tools that help you dig deeper into Scripture.

Next, Dr. Fallahee walks through the layout system. Quick‑start layouts give you a ready‑made workspace, while custom layouts let you arrange the library, text, reference tools and commentaries exactly as you prefer.
To save a layout, click the Layouts button, choose Save As…, give it a memorable name, and then drag the icon onto the toolbar for instant access. Screenshot: 
Collections are a powerful way to keep related resources together. Dr. Fallahee shows how to create a new collection, add rules based on title, subject, or type, and use parentheses to group minus rules. This results in a focused set of books that automatically updates as you add new items.

The library view is enhanced with a details panel that displays columns such as title, author and subject. Enabling the subject column lets you filter by tags like “prophecy” or “Greek text.” You can also drag unwanted items to the minus column to exclude them without typing a rule.

When doing a Greek word study, the layout shows the Bible word study on the left, the fact book in the middle, the Greek text on the right and the lexicon beside it. Clicking a word automatically jumps to the lexicon entry and highlights the same place in the text.

Dr. Fallahee emphasizes the importance of notes, highlights and labels. Labels let you tag non‑textual information—such as the ABBA literary pattern in Psalms—creating a personal index that can be searched across the entire library.

By combining custom layouts, well‑organized collections, and a robust annotation system, you can tailor Logos to your study routine and keep the focus on God’s Word.
Try setting up a quick‑start layout, creating a collection for your current study topic, and labeling a few notes. The tools are flexible enough to grow with you as you deepen your understanding of Scripture.
For more details, you can watch the full webinar on LearnLogos.com or access the training materials directly in Logos.
Use these features to explore the Bible more effectively, and let the tools help you spend more time in God’s Word.
