Olive Tree · Publisher help screenshot
A study workspace beside the passage
The screenshot shows a Bible reader, Quick Details area and a Study Center with Parallel selected. The secondary area currently lists resources to open rather than displaying a second Bible.
Design takeaway
Keep the passage visible while choosing a commentary or comparison resource. Distinguish resource selection from the eventual parallel reading state.
What this example establishes
The screenshot shows a Bible reader, Quick Details area and a Study Center with Parallel selected. The secondary area currently lists resources to open rather than displaying a second Bible.
Limits and further verification
The help article documents parallel reading and saved places across tabs. The screenshot alone does not demonstrate those behaviours; the native app was not tested.
