Layout Help

I'm just starting with Verbum basic for now.  I haven't purchased anything except the Ignatius Study Bible books so far.  After I opened the readings for the day, the screen on my Mac flipped from the homepage to some default layout.  I then tweaked that layout by opening a few tools and the Ignatius commentary and linked them.  I decided I wanted to save that layout and I figured out how to do that easy enough.  But now when I open the program for the first time each day and click on that day's readings, the default layout opens again.  I can click on layouts and select my saved layout.  The problem is the layout doesn't just put all the same books and tabs back where I'd placed them it also changes the date for the reading and the other tabs verses back to what they were when I first saved the layout.  Is there a way with the basic version to get truly the LAYOUT to save but not the specific places in texts and dates to be fixed - essentially anything that's open already leave where it is but rearrange it the way I'd had it before?

  • Suggest opening a Quick Start layout: e.g. Lectionary Reading, customize it, followed by clicking down arrow by Quick Start Layout name so can "Replace with current layout" to customize it:

    Circle with down arrow appears when mouse hovers over it.

    Example Lectionary Reading customization has a Bible in a link Set with desired Bible Notes along with send Hyperlinks to Bible plus Info and Lookup tools:

    FYI: my account with $ 0.00 order total has one Bible Notes resource: Faithlife Study Bible (FSB). When FSB tab is active, lookup shows verses from my highest prioritized Bible, which is the Lexham English Bible (LEB).

  • Thanks so much!  Huge help.  Verbum live help was telling me this was only possible with at least the Starter feature set.  The Verbum folks are helpful to be sure, but they seem to constantly be pushing to sell you more.  All in all calling help at Accordance is a MUCH less sales pressure filled experience.
