The last time I made new release sheets was in march, so thank you for suggesting I look in the "What's new" box. That helped me at least find what song were new so I could make my sheets manually.
I have a second backup laptop that I keep updated but I didn't add the new songs till after the update so I had no problem with it working. What I needed was to know what songs to add to it and I usually print a new release sheet from my main laptop and add those songs to the old. But when that failed I was lost. I download "Legal songs" and that is my only record, other than the download file.

Creating "New Songs" list in the Songbook, before upgrading, is a GREAT IDEA. We always backup everything else, yet tend to forget to do that, probably because many don't even use songbooks. But I find they still save me a lot of time on stage & gives Singers new ideas as well as let them see for themseves when I have purchased their requests.
