When the church changes a song you copied

A song you copied into your own library stays yours: your key, your chords, your recordings. It also remembers the church's song, so when the church changes it you can take the changes you want.

See what changed

In your Songs, a song the church changed has a small amber mark, and Updates lists only those. On the song, a banner says what changed, like the chart and the recordings. Press Review.

The review says each change in words: the key, the tempo, a verse's lines, a recording added. What only the church changed starts ticked. What you changed too starts unticked and says so: taking it replaces yours (a chart stays in Chart history). If you kept your own key, the church's chart comes in moved to your key.

1. Untick anything you'd rather keep as it is.
2. Press Update. Undo on the message puts the song back for a few seconds.

What you leave unticked is skipped: it stays quiet until the church changes it again. Check with the church, under the song's name, is always there: it shows what's new, or that you're up to date, and what you skipped.

Follow the church

Tick Keep this song in step with the church in the review. From then on, changes to the parts you haven't changed come in by themselves when you open your songs. On the Updates list, Update all takes every change only the church made; songs with changes of your own wait for a look.

Files, recordings, and sets

Recording links copy with the song. The church's PDFs and uploaded recordings stay the church's: your copy shows them, under the church's name, while you're in the church. Copies made before October 2026 have none of the church's recordings; your songs list offers them once, with Bring them in.

To copy a whole set, open the service in the church and press Copy to my library: a new set in your library, its songs in order and in the service's keys.

If you leave the church, your copies stay as they are.
