I updated to most recent pre-release, and suddenly sierra which I have fully customized over the last few years is set back to the stone age, and looks like i JUST downloaded it. This update has removed, and deleted every single preset, toolbar, syling choice, custom menu's and literally EVERYTHING i had customized about sierra to make it be tolerable. how in the world do I UN DO THIS. the out of the box UI is intolerable, miserable to use, and almost non functional from an intraday scalping perspective. It took MONTHS to set the platform up in a work flow manner that was useable. now its been undone in 5min .

There are backups of the global configuration files. Refer to:
Resetting Sierra Chart to a Default State / Restoring Backup Global Configuration File

There should be no issue getting everything restored as it was. Do you know what version you were previously running?

I do not off top of my head, I updated last month, and I noticed things starting to change UI wise, and I stopped. I chose to update today because I was having storage issues, I cleared out some scid files, and figured what the heck, might as well. and it completely wiped all of my settings.

I replaced Config file with yesterdays config file, it somehow was corrupted in update. This has brought back most settings, but shortcut key commands seem to be unassigned now. I am going to have to go in and re-do my hotkeys.
