BUG: Personal guide template not retaining latest "snapshot"

I have a guide template that I use for study purposes. When I begin a new study, I insert my passage, and then use the Layout button to tell it to update to the latest snapshot, that way when I open the guide template later in the day, or the next day, it already has my study passage in it. Lately, since downloading and installing 5.1, my guide template does not update to the current snapshot. It keeps reverting to an older snapshot.

Welcome to the forums.

If I understand you correctly, this seems to work as it should for me on Mac. Are you on Windows?

Also: do you by any chance have more than one Layout snapshot with the same name? I seem to remember that causing troubles during the beta cycle.

I am on a Windows platform. It happens on both my desktop at work and my laptop at home.

I only have one template right now.

Delete any duplicates of your layout on the right hand side and check your Startup option in Tools > Program Settings --> "Most recent - Any" should retrieve the latest layout after exiting Logos even if you don't update the actual named layout, assuming you want to share the layout between your computers. If you just want a fixed layout that doesn't update between computers then load the specific layout in Settings.

Don't have any duplicates...this is my only guide template I have saved.

I am in the habit of closing everything prior to exiting...which is why I want the guide template to save as a fresh layout whenever I update the Scripture I am starting from.

I generally starrt with a fresh Scripture each week, as I am preaching from a new location. It doesn't want to retain the snapshot whenever I try to force it to do so...

Close all Tabs then exit? If you save your layout prior to this what is your Startup Setting? Do you load the specific layout?

Is your guide a custom one?

I have no problem loading with a new passage if I save the layout, Close ALL, exit, restart Logos and then load the layout.
