Sermon date always gets messed up when installing Logos on a new computer

I just got a new laptop, when I installed Logos 10 aproximately 20 of my sermons from more than 3 years ago all jump to the top with a "date" of "today".

Why does this always happen to me? How can I stop it from happening in the future?

    Which date are you speaking of? What is different about this date in the 20 sermons that have the problem vs. the other sermons? In other words, I need more information in order to be able to provide an answer.

    The date under documents. I have attached two screen shots, literally hundreds of my sermons now say they were created last Monday

    When you get a new machine you will notice that your library dates also all "get messed up" as the date you are looking at is the date that the file was created on that machine ... not the date the file was created on any machine. I may be incorrect but I think only the dates the sermon was preached are carried across all machines.

    Interesting, the thing is it doesn't always happen, I move PCs and reinstall Logos a lot and it doesn't happen everytime, and the amount of sermons that are now in the improper date has never been this much.

    Docs and Library resources will initially get a  date updated (or created) that reflects the date of installation. But the date in Docs menu will change when they get updated, except it does not sync! So look at Version History in the Sermon Info sidebar to get realistic dates.

    A re-installation may not be treated the same as a new installation because your Documents are preserved on the drive.
