If you set up Publishing to a local folder only, then need to change that, Elements isn’t remembering any of the current information about folder publishing (including whether to backup or not) and you keep starting from scratch in the Publish set up.

Also, when I changed folder, Elements didn’t. Published in same place.

Hi @thominator

I just tested local publishing on my end, and it seems like it’s working fine. I’m still on Sequoia though.

Can you provide more details on what’s not working? I created a local folder, published successfully to it, then created a second folder, changed it in Elements publishing settings to that second folder, and published again successfully to that second folder…

Let us know how we can replicate this so we can check, a screen recording might help as well if you can provide one.
