The **Auto-Suggest Layouts** will display an additional input in the Arsenal page. A "Suggested Layout" dropdown will now appear over the layout input fields. These layout suggestions are the manufacturer suggested layouts, based on the layout style you had selected.

## 📊 Layout suggestions

There is no AI built into this tool. It is as simple as the suggested layouts per manufacturer on their website. This setting is simply a time saver based on general knowledge of what is required from the bowler.

**Tip:** Auto-Suggest Layouts gets better the more you use Spectre Cloud. Every spec sheet saved — whether the suggested layout was accepted, adjusted, or overridden — contributes to the bowler's history that informs the next suggestion. The engine is not static; it reflects the accumulated record of what has been drilled for each bowler. The sooner it is turned on, the sooner it starts building that record.
