Mac - Navigation

Overview:

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

Navigating:

You can open the navigation menu by selecting the location reference at the top of the window. This is true for both the main window and the Parallel window in the Study Center.

There are a few different options for how to view the navigation menu. You can find these options by selecting the Options icon in the upper right corner of the navigation window. 

Grid View (Full or Compact)

The Grid View is the default view for verse-based books, like Bibles and commentaries. This view makes it easy to select a book, chapter, and verse. 

List View 

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

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

If you are viewing a Bible, we also offer an option to sort the Bible books alphabetically. This option is only available once you are in List View. In List View, select the Options icon and select 'Alphabetical Order' to view the Bible books Bible alphabetically.

Shading

There is also an option to shade the Grid View to show the classification of the Bible books.

Below is a list of the different classes: 

• Pentateuch/Law
• Historical
• Poetry
• Major Prophets
• Minor Prophets
• Gospels
• History of the Christian Church
• Paul's Epistles
• General Letters
• Apocalyptic
