Collections not Showing in Parallel Resource Sets

I am not sure why this is happening.  Sometimes my collections show as parallel resource sets and sometimes they do not.

I have worked through my library, created my own tagging system, and created a number of collections (Critical Commentaries, Expository Commentaries, Devotional Commentaries, etc.).  I have been working through Luke for 9 months, so I have reached the point where I even created a collection called "Favorite Luke Commentaries" for the ones that have become my go-to resources.

Here is the problem, sometimes ALL of my chosen collections are visible when I click the parallel resource icon (giving me three pages to scroll through).  Other times, however, several of them will be missing - EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE STILL SELECTED.

I have gone to the collections tool and reviewed my collections to make sure they are selected (and even deselected them and reselected them) but it has made no difference.

Am I missing something?

I have watched the camp logos materials on collections and parallel resources multiple times.  I feel like I am doing this correctly.  Just frustrated.  When the parallel resources work right they are an amazing time saver.

    Are you saying that collections which are marked "Show in parallel resources" are not showing as the heading of a column to select for parallels? i.e. they are not here:

    If so, could you post a screen shot of what does show as a collection and a screen shot of a collection that does not show?

    To post a screen shot please use the paperclip or the amber icon beside it to put the image in the post.

    You have encountered the issue of  one or more resources being in multiple collections.

    1. From Passage Guide, open a Matthew that is not in your Favorites collection. Parallel Resources will show the relevant collection and/or All parallel Resources.

    2, From All Parallel Resources open a Matthew that is in your Favorites collection. You will then see your Favorites collection:-

    Note the 1 of 2 at bottom right. Click the little arrow on the right to see All Parallel Resources. It will be selected/checked as that was the last collection you used.  You will now see 2 of 2, so click the arrow on the left to return.

    3. If you pick another Matthew from All Parallel Resources (on page 2), you may then see something like:

    Beware the hidden collections on page 1, which may include your Matthew Favourites!

    .

    Nothing wrong with having a Matthew Favourites collection, just restrict the number of collections you tick to "show in Parallel Resources" (I ticked three for this exercise).
