Bring Back Updating/Overwriting Layouts
Alex Fischer
The newest update removed the ability to overwrite or update saved layouts. Now you can only save new layouts.
I use Descript to edit podcasts, and rely on the ability to overwrite existing layouts as small changes are needed based on the framing of guests which changes every episode. It would be incredibly inconvenient and wasteful to create brand new layouts and delete outdated versions each time I edit a new episode, but that is my only option with the new update.

Edit a scene and overwrite that scene by "Saving" in a layout pack.

There are many times that descript scenes within layout packs do not import a new podcast episode cleanly. Things like the speakers are flipped in the media placeholders in pre-saved scenes such that my video effects are switched between speakers (we always have two co-hosts). I want to be able to just modify an existing scene layout and save it without having to save a new scene layout. It's very unclear how to modify an existing layout within a layout pack too - so clarity on that would be great.
