BiblePro Desktop 2.2.0 brings three major additions: annotations in multiple windows, diagrams for the biblical original text, and Projection. The 4-minute video below demonstrates all three (narration and on-screen subtitles are in Chinese); the written steps that follow cover the same ground.

Video walkthrough

Tap a timecode to jump straight to that chapter:

• 00:00 What is new in this release
• 00:17 Annotations: open in a new window, compare side by side
• 00:43 Original text: open a diagram, inspect words, linked scrolling
• 01:26 Projection: send selected verses to the big screen
• 02:14 Projection: custom slides, templates and groups
• 03:48 Recap

1. Annotations in multiple windows

Annotations used to share the main window in a top/bottom split. Now each one can be torn off into its own window, so several commentaries sit side by side.

1. Open Annotations while reading
2. Right-click the name of an annotation
3. Choose Open in new window
4. Move and resize the new window freely — open as many as you need and keep them all on screen at once

Ideal for a large or dual monitor: Scripture in the main window, with the comprehensive commentary, study edition and other annotations lined up beside it.

2. Diagrams for the original text

The Original Text module gains a Diagram section that draws the syntax of a verse — main clause, modifiers and parallel structures at a glance.

1. Open Original Text, then click Diagram at the top
2. Pick the diagram resource you want from the list and click OK
3. Once it opens, hover over or click any word to see its details (original form, lemma, gloss, part of speech, Strong’s number and more)
4. The two panes stay in sync: move to the next verse on the left and the right pane jumps to that verse automatically
5. You can open several different diagrams at once, and clicking a verse number inside a diagram moves the text on the left to match

3. Projection

Projection is the headline feature of 2.2.0 — built for meetings, Bible study groups and Sunday worship. It works in two ways: projecting Scripture and building custom slides.

3.1 Projecting Scripture

1. Choose Projection in the bottom toolbar, or use multi-select in the Catalog
2. Tick the verses you want, click OK, then click Project
3. Choose how verses are paginated: one verse per page, or distribute automatically
4. With one verse per page you get a preview first — check it, then click Done
5. Pick the window to project onto (second display / projector) and click Start projection

3.2 Custom slides

Beyond Scripture, you can build slides for welcomes, prayer items and hymn lyrics.

1. Open Projection from the bottom toolbar → create a new projection
2. Choose the aspect ratio (4:3 / 16:9 / 16:10), pick a template, then create it
3. Double-click the content to edit the text; you can also insert + Verse and + Text
4. Rename a page (for example to “Opening welcome”) so it is easy to find in a long list
5. Use groups to organise pages (for example “Opening prayer”, “Praise and worship”) and duplicate pages within a group
6. Set the background to a colour, an image or a video, and add speaker notes (visible only on the control console, never on the projected screen)
7. When the slides are ready, click Project

3.3 While projecting

Action	What it does
↑ ↓ or ← →	Previous / next page
