You can pin as many titles as you would like.

Enhancements

For the following pages, user can log in and remain on the same page (rather than being sent to the Dashboard):

• Any page in the reader
  For example, if user starts reading a Life-study signed out and wants to use the reader tools such as highlighting, they can sign in and not lose their place.
• Any of the title list pages (filtering is maintained):
  • A-Z listing
  • Collected Works of Watchman Nee
  • Collected Works of Witness Lee
  • Conclusion of the New Testament
  • High Peak books
  • Life-studies

For example, if user does a partial title search of “Crysta” in the High Peak Books list while signed out, the filtered list of titles will not have links to the reader, since Crystallization-study titles are subscription only.

If user then signs in, the title search results are not lost, and user can select a title to read:
