To unpin, click or tap on the pin icon again. Pinning or unpinning does not update the “Accessed” time stamp, so when you unpin a title, it will go back to its original spot on the list.

You can pin as many titles as you would like.

• Items per Page dropdown - change the number of items per page from a list of options, including 'ALL'

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:
