layer comp files keep reverting back to older configurations

Question

I'm working in Photoshop 2026, I'm linked to key elements in my library and using layer comps to cycle through my various layouts. I'm repeated updating layer comps and saving, no matter what I do at some point various layouts revert back to an older configuration. I saved it as a new files still doing the same thing. I am locking the layers after undating layer comps AND saving, files still keep moving around. This is not happenting to all of the layer comps just some. Its beyond frustrating to keep having work revert. HELP.

Hi @scottr67308382

Thank you for reporting this, and I’m sorry you’re experiencing this issue. To help us investigate, could you please share a few more details?

Photoshop version (exact build number of 2026)
macOS version
Are the Library-linked elements updating or breaking when the comp reverts?
Does this happen after a specific action (switching comps, saving, relaunching the file, etc.)?
Could you please share a short screen recording that demonstrates the issue?

Once we have this info, we can dig deeper and try to reproduce the issue.

Regards,

Srishti
