### Summary Publishing a new Island version removes it from all player’s favourites and recent. We have an Island released. We are waiting to release it for a special event. Our problem is that upon publishing a new version of that island, it gets removed from all favourites and recently played lists. For what I could find, this behavior isn’t documented anywhere, so we cannot know if it is a bug or something we have to work along. The island is released -for now- as unlisted. ### Please select what you are reporting on: Unreal Editor for Fortnite ### What Type of Bug are you experiencing? Publishing ### Steps to Reproduce So the steps would be: - Publish a new island as unlisted. - Add to favourite in Fortnite. - Publish a new version of said island. - See if it is still saved. ### Expected Result - It should be saved after the new version is uploaded. ### Observed Result - The Island is no longer there. ### Platform(s) All ### Island Code 1742-9416-0590 ### Additional Notes For what we understand, it is expected from us to update our islands perpetually. However, this is very much harmful on that regard. ---

Hi @Mautar55 - After speaking with the team, they let me know that islands will not show in favorites if published as UNLISTED. Thank you! ---
