A layout marked "needs attention" is missing required elements. Edit the layout and ensure every hole has both a tee and target selected to restore it.

Layouts can break when you make changes in Map Manager that remove elements currently being used by a layout:

Deleting a tee position that a layout uses

Deleting a target position that a layout uses

Deleting a fairway that connects a layout's tee and target

Making elements inactive that are needed by the layout

- Deleting a tee position that a layout uses
- Deleting a target position that a layout uses
- Deleting a fairway that connects a layout's tee and target
- Making elements inactive that are needed by the layout

When this happens, the layout becomes unplayable and won't appear in the course listing for players until it's fixed.

Look for any layout marked "Needs Attention"

1. Go to your Course Tools dashboard
2. Select the Layouts tab
3. Look for any layout marked "Needs Attention"

2. Make sure every hole has:
 - A tee position selected
 - A target position selected
3. If a hole is missing either element, select a valid tee and target from the available options

Tap Publish layout to save your changes

2. Verify that all holes are complete
3. Tap Publish layout to save your changes

Once published, the layout will be active and available to players again.

To prevent layouts from breaking when making changes in Map Manager:

Before deleting elements: Check which layouts use them

Plan your changes: Review all layouts after making Map Manager updates
