Fixed as per -> Plex Web (thanks)

On the home screen, select the pencil/edit button (just left of the slider for cover art size). That should bring up the “Edit Home Screen” window. Choose “Disable (Manually Manage)” The Home Screen will refresh. You should now see “On Deck.” Select the Pencil/Edit button again. You can re-orde…

@FordGuy61 yes and thanks, I know I can do that but that its not what I asked. I asked Why has this been changed to be the default ? If this change is ultimately rolled out to all apps across all devices then each device will need this pencil/edit change.

Gotcha. Maybe it is a bug. I did not see anything relevant mentioned in the Plex Web release notes . Hopefully a Plex employee/ninja/team member/etc can shed some light on things. Cheers.

That’s not my point. If a user didn’t actually know these details they’d have no clue as to what the difference is because the two titles can read as the same thing. It’s confusing and pointless. Especially since unfinished episodes also show in on deck. Just add partially watched movies to that sam…

Continue Watching is, for me at least, less often used compared with On Deck. I tend to watch mostly tv series and complete episodes Continue Watching typically only has a couple of movies in it, so Continue Watching is completely useless when I sit down to start watching the next episode of the tv …
