iPhone/iPad - Navigation

Overview:

Navigating the Olive Tree Bible App makes it easy to explore Scripture and study resources. The navigation menu provides quick access to books, chapters, verses, and additional content in your resources. This guide will show you how to open and customize the navigation menu, including Grid and List Views and shading options.

Navigating:

To open the navigation menu, tap the location reference at the top of the screen. This works in both the main window and the Parallel window of the Study Center, whether the toolbar is visible or hidden.

Grid View (Full or Compact)

Grid View is the default for verse-based resources, such as Bibles and commentaries. It allows you to quickly select a book, chapter, and verse.

List View 

List View will automatically appear for resources that are not verse based, like dictionaries, encyclopedias, handbooks, etc. List View can also be used for verse-based resources if you prefer a list with the full names of Bible books.

List View displays the Table of Contents for the resource. This is helpful because it shows material outside of the books, chapters, and verses in the Grid View, like maps, charts, profiles, articles, etc. 

When viewing a Bible in List View, you can sort the books alphabetically. Tap the Options icon and select Alphabetical Order.
