I have asked this question before but never got an answer which would be useful permanently. Obviously a calendar devotional will open to today's date when you click the link to it. But opening several devotionals today and saving them as a layout then opening them tomorrow always opens them to the date they were saved using update active. I asked the study guide this question:
how do i use a layout to open several calendar devotionals to today's date
It rather moronically told me this:
I apologize, but I am unable to answer questions about how to use specific Logos features or execute commands within the software.
For assistance with using layouts to open calendar devotionals to today’s date, or any other questions about how to use Logos, the Help Center is the best resource.
I asked Grok the same question and it actually gave me a step by step procedure which I have followed though I have to wait until tomorrow to test it. The actual answer would eventually be "Here is how you open a file using a date key field to position the record".
