Links in Tools

In Accordance, Tools are the books you can add to help study the Bible, or which you just want to read. When you select a Tool from the Library, it opens at the beginning of the book.

A special feature of Tool modules is the links which display additional information.

  • Tap a simple internal link to jump to another part of the Tool.
  • Tap a footnote or abbreviation to see the reference in the Instant Details, and tap GoTo to jump to that location.
  • Tap a reference to another Tool or non-Biblical text to amplify to the reference.
  • Tap the Back and Forward arrows at the bottom to retrace your steps within the Tool.

Tap a scripture link to display the Instant Details pop-up displaying those verses in your top Bible, or the second Bible if the verses are missing from the top one.

Close the pop-up by tapping outside it.

Pictures in Tools appear as thumbnails within the text. If there is no thumbnail, a picture icon appears in its place.

  • Tap the thumbnail or picture icon to see the image in Picture View (the full screen view of the image). The status bar and top Accordance bar disappear; if there is no black frame, you can tap to restore display of the status bar.
  • Tap on the Tool name button to return to the previous view.
  • Pinch to zoom in or out on the picture.
  • Tap the open/close chevron (Image Arrow) above the caption preview to see the entire caption.
  • Swipe left or right to cycle through images in Picture View.
  • Tap and hold the image to display the copy/share Action menu.
  • Tap Copy to copy the image to the clipboard. The image can then be pasted in any compatible application.
  • Tap Share to open the iOS sharing menu.

Note: Sharing options are determined by the applications installed on your device and the selected options in the iOS Activities menu.

A Reference Tool in an additional pane with Bible text lets you view the scripture and picture links in the pop-up as well as follow the links.
