Yet again I have wasted my time having tested then made incorrect assumptions. What I tested was that changes to the Guide templates propagated across saved copies when they were opened and refreshed (optional). Because it appeared to work, I began making saved Passage Guides for lectionary passages believing that if I needed to refine Collections and Commentaries I could do so later. Wrong.

Steps to illustrate what Logos does:

1. Create a test template.

2. Run it on a passage and enter a title to ensure it will be saved.

3. Edit the guide template

4. Open the saved template

5. When opened the new sections are automatically added (no refresh required) except for collections.

In short, the system is designed to change everything EXCEPT what is most apt to need changed as one's library grows. Please modify the system so that ALL changes in the template are propagated across guides when they are opened.
