Library View

Library View provides access to all installed Text and Tool resources on your mobile device, as well as other program features. On the bottom left of the Main View, tap the Library button () to open Library View.

Note: The organizational structure of desktop versions of Accordance can be copied to iOS via WiFi syncing.

Library View displays Recently Installed modules (a history of all recently installed modules) when new modules have just been installed. If no new modules have been installed, Library View displays Recently Opened modules (a history of all recently opened modules on your device). Scroll down to display a list of all Library categories.

Tap a category or Recently Opened to view the available modules or your viewed modules history.

  • Tap a line to reveal a scrolling list of all the Bibles or Tools in the section.

  • Tap the information button (Information button) to the right of the module name to read About the Text for that module.

  • Tap a module name to open it.

Accordance remembers the search state, the location, and additional pane for any module opened during a session. This way you can go to another module, perform searches, and then return to an earlier module without losing your place.

Modules in the Library are sorted into different sections or categories, in order to locate specific modules easily. Each category has a unique icon, and each module type is identified with its respective category icon.

  • Recently Opened: This category appears at the top of the Library after two modules have been opened, and stores up to 100 names. A maximum of five names are displayed by default. Tap Show All Recents to display the entire list. To remove all items from the list, click Clear.
