Layouts

Question

“New layouts” does not show up on the drop down on my web app. How do I start a new layout on the web app?  For example if I open Bible and want to save where I am presently reading how do I save it?  Thanks

The web app is extremely limited in what it can do. You can't directly save a layout in a web app. The Layouts menu item only allows you to select a pattern…you can't save anything.

Here's the workaround: bookmark the page (Ctrl-D if you are using Chrome, for example).  I created a folder for my web app, and in the folder I have a sub-folder called 'Layouts.' I keep all my Ctrl-D saves in it, so if I want to go back to a certain place in certain books I can, assuming I remembered to save it.  (Here's a screenshot of my work showing the toolbar folder, the Layouts subfolder, and my saved layouts in it-)

Please add some Tags to your posts so they can be efficiently processed  e.g. I added Web App.  You could add others to focus your issue.

I'm not expert with the web app, so I clicked the Help Center icon in the main toolbar and typed the following query:

The first part is certainly true i.e. the web app opens to the last active Layout but the rest of the article about adding layouts to the Dashboard was not accurate.

Perhaps others can help further.
