I am working on something complicated, so I decided to create a temporary layout since it was getting so crunched working with only one layout open. However, when I did so, I accidentally clicked "update active." 😧 Is there any way to undo that?
If you can, grab a snapshot (in layouts) right before you updated … if you're lucky. Depends on timing.
Hi @DMB,
That's a great idea, thank you. :)
There is no way to undo that. You needed to do that before making changes for your temp layout. But you could use a previously saved version of the layout from Saved Layouts. A snapshot only happens if you change from one layout to another or nuke the current layout with Close All Panels.

Hi @Dave Hooton,
Thank you for confirming this, and I will for sure keep this in mind.
A snapshot only happens if you change from one layout to another or nuke the current layout with Close All Panels.
If I am understanding correctly, a snapshot is not based on time passing, (like a snapshot every 2 minutes, or whatever), but is rather only created through the act of closing the layout. So using the example of what had occurred, I had been working with Layout A and after making changes which I wanted to keep without editing A, I should have:
Then that would have created a new layout while still preserving Layout A. Is this correct?

Correct. Close Active Layout (at bottom of Layouts menu) will retain the layout but remove its Saved name.Close All Panels (app toolbar) will clear/blank the layout.
Both methods will produce a Snapshot. Changing from one layout to another also produces a Snapshot
I had been working with Layout A and after making changes which I wanted to keep without editing A, I should have:closed the layout which would create a snapshot.go to the list of layouts and re-open the most recent snapshotsave it as somethingThen that would have created a new layout while still preserving Layout A. Is this correct?

No!
In general, you need to preserve a layout BEFORE making changes that result in a new layout i.e. save "Layout A", then make changes and then save it as "Layout B". "Save as named layout" (in Layouts menu) will "save" a layout by giving it a Name, else Update Active will update an already "saved" Layout.
I see. Thank you for clarifying this.
It took me a minute to respond since I taught a class, and I also ran into a weird layout issue. I needed to look at ἀφίημι in the OT, which I will mention since it might matter.
I needed to review both layout A and this new layout at the same time, so I decided to accomplish this with Verbum.
So I saved the new layout in Logos as ἀφίημι in LXX, then I closed it, and re-opened layout A in Logos.
I then opened Verbum in order to open the ἀφίημι layout, but it wouldn't open as the layout seemed to be only the name. It was the same with my Luke Class.
I then closed Verbum (since my plan didn't work), closed A in Logos and opened the ἀφίημι layout. Then I closed the ἀφίημι layout and re-opened A.
Since Logos doesn't permit multiple layouts to be open at once, I had really hoped I could accomplish this with Verbum, and I am unsure what happened. I thought maybe the problem was naming it something foreign? But that didn't explain why the Luke Class also had the problem.
I am attaching a screenshot, and thank you for your help.
Does Logos provide you with any non-English lectionary calendars? I think I found a German lectionary with the readings but I've not found the type:lectionary resource to make it work on the dashboard. I'm interested in other European languages as well.
What map book shows all the New Testament places quickly and easily? Syrian Phoenicia was hard to find. As was Magadan.
I want to find all the occurrences of the word "heart" in Ecclesiastes. I would like to end up with a list of the words with the strongs number for each word. Can anyone help me achieve this? I have not purchased the subscription version of Logos if that matters.
Dear Folk, I'm trying to input in the Morph search box lemma:h:k BEFORE 1 Word@N to search for instances where k is before a noun. I'm searching for similies. When I type lemma:h:k it gives the hebrew lemma with appropriate hebrew letter, but when I try to add BEFORE 1 Word, etc. the cursor goes back before the Hebrew…
Good morning, Does someone know if we can create a collection with personal books ? Main objective is not to facilitate searching between these books, but to group some books in a collection to permit to add one book of the collection in a window, to set a synch group and to have the other books of the same collection…
