How do you change a project's thumbnail after the first save?

The first time I saved a project manually and then left was when the instructions were on the screen - it doesn't make for an attractive thumbnail.

How do I change it again before I upload it? Saving again does nothing - it always remains the same.

You could do “save as a copy” However, you would lose any love-its and favorites… ;(

I won't be sharing the project anytime soon, so that sounds like an idea!
I'll test it now.

It worked! I was able to give the copy a different thumbnail and replace the original version with it.
Thanks!
Requesting closure.

Glad I could help!

However, I believe the thumbnail should update to show the last saved state - but it may take a while for all the various file caches to give up the old image. The copy technique is a useful approach, if you need it in a hurry.
