Having to update symbol settings on every SC update

The last couple of times I've updated the software it's resetting the symbol settings that I have set back to default. I have them set to use commissions, record market depth, etc. Each time I've had to go back and re-enter these settings. Now the market depth doesn't appear to be recording.

Is there a way around this so that I don't have to do this every time I update to a newer version?

Why is the market depth not recording? I went in and put the setting to record to 'yes'. Do I have to restart the program or something? It would be much better if these settings did not have to be re-entered on every update.

In newer versions of Sierra Chart this kind of problem is no longer an issue.

What you experienced, when updating to 1953 is a one-time issue and is explained here:

The settings are preserved. You just need to copy the settings that you need as explained in the notes for 1953.

You also need to make sure that Global Settings >> Symbol Settings >> Use Custom Symbol Settings Values is enabled.
