I made changes (removed a lot of collections) to "my passage guide." Now when I run "my passage guide," I still get my old "my passage guide." I have closed and restated L4, and I am still getting this bug.
Here is a screen print:
You'll need to select "Delete Guide" from the panel menu for it to pick up changes. Otherwise it reuses the guide that it has already stored for that passage.
This is not a bug. L4 has saved your Passage Guide for the specific scripture range that you had when you changed the tool bars (blue bars that expand/collapse) or you entered a Note in one of the areas or you changed the Title.
If you were to enter a new scripture reference (one you haven't been to lately) then you will see your new Passage Guide layout.l
To delete the saved PG, click on the icon in the upper left corner of the PG to have it show the menu. In the drop down menu click on Delete. This will have L4 delete the status for the saved PG and the layout for that scripture range will appear like your new Passage Guide. It will not delete the custom PG that you have created.
EDIT:
Notice that this is a Custom PG (My Passage Guide)
1. Click on PG icon to open menu
2. Click on Delete this guide will remove the saved PG. All notes, description, title, and added tool bars will be removed. The guide will revert to the Custom PG layout.
This does not delete the Custom PG (see below after i used delete above, notice My Passage Guide is still present)
To delete a Custom PG
1. Click on Guides in the top menu
2. Locate the Custom guide that you want to delete
3. Right click on the guide and in pop-up click on delete
EDIT2: this is discussed in the wiki Exegetical Guide , but it applies to the Passage Guide as well.
Thanks Todd and Steve,
Your suggestion work.
This might not be a bug (it works as it is designed to work), but I will say that it is a poor design. If I changed the content of what I want in the passage guide, and I tell L4 to execute a new report, I expect it to produce a new report based on the new guide - not to pull up an old guide.

This makes sense to me.
Tom,
It would pull up a new report if the scripture range was one that you had not made changes to. i agree this is unusual behavior. But can see that L4 is trying to help us save whatever work that we have done. Since the guides are used by people who barely know the program and use the Home page to do their work (enter scripture ref in the Go box), then Logos probably wanted to keep it very simple for them to return to their work.
i agree this is unusual behavior
You can say that again. I am not sure how L4 is saving us work by producing an out of date report. If something has changed, then a new report is needed.

It's also saving the post-generation editing you might have done, like adding Notes, clicking stars, removing items or modifying settings. (not that anyone actually does that stuff...although some people do add notes)
although some people do add notes
i sometimes enter a hyperlink in the BWS to a note in a note file where i used the BWS to look up a specific word in my study. This ties things together nicely. (see wiki Adding Hyperlink to guide notes)
Yes, I agree. And not to go thru the convolutions so well explained by Steve (where were you when i needed this explanation!). It is not intuitive at all. If it thinks it is saving attached Notes I ought to know that I have saved guides!
(where were you when i needed this explanation!)
ah...ah...ah...ah, i don't know [:)]
actually i was in the process of figuring out how it worked while building the Exegetical Guide wiki (thru trial & error). As for Tom's and your thoughts on the subject, i agree with most of it (i would have voted to be able to save it via right click or guide's menu). It would be nice if there was some kind of marker that showed up on the top toolbar indicating that we are looking at a saved guide. My explanation on why Logos did this, is purely theoretical speculation.
I ought to know that I have saved guides!
And how do we delete these old guides? Every three years I will be coming back to the same text. I do not want the passage guide to pull up an old guide.
FYI... I added a suggestion on uservoice to provide an option to turn off this auto save function. Here is a link to the request: http://logos.uservoice.com/forums/42823-logos-bible-software-4/suggestions/1305313-passage-guide
Thanks, Tom.
