Saved Layouts can't find installed resources

Question

Hello, 

I recently reinstalled Paratext after reformatting my hard drive and upgrading to Windows 11. Upon loading a saved layout, it prompted me to download some missing resources. The issue is that some of them are already installed, and for some reason it's not recognizing them. 

I originally had PT7 on the laptop, then PT8, and I've been using PT9 without issue ever since it came out. But I remember I used to have a folder called something like "My Paratext 8 Projects", which I no longer have. 

Should I just recreate the layout manually and then overwrite it, or is there an easier way?

Also, is KJVAM the replacement for KJVA? What is the difference?

Thanks!

Hola Alex.

KJV is the traditional version and KJVAM is a modern English adaptation, with subtle modifications in grammar, vocabulary or punctuation.

Did you close and reopen Paratext after downloading the missing resources (such as the NASB)? In the case of changes that affect files, such as adding/updating a new resource, it is necessary to reopen Paratext to “load” these new files. If even reopening fails, it will be faster if you can open them again and save the Layout with the same name.

If you still have access to the other computer you can move your Layout from the “_WindowCollections” folder in “My Paratext # Projects”.

Saludos,
Pepe.
