How to "Fix" Think-or-Swim Bookmap Config:
**Note, this resets your bookmap configuration to default and you will have to completely reconfigure it in Think or Swim afterwards.

1) Close Think-or-Swim if it is open. SIDE NOTE: If you have a lot of detached Bookmap windows in ToS, you may want to load it up, and close all of those leaving just the main Bookmap display, then close it.
2) Navigate to your ToS install directory, by default this is: C:\Program Files\thinkorswim\ 
3) Go into the \book_map\settings folder.
4) Find the "bookmap_config_v7.json" (I imagine when they go to v8, it'll be _v8.json) and rename it to "bookmap_config_v7.json.bak" (or whatever you choose).
5) Relaunch Think-or-Swim and load the Bookmap Window --> Once it loads the default config, set up all your configuration as you see fit (remember to do *all* of it, all panels, columns, indicators, and miscellaneous settings you may want to change in Bookmap. Be thorough.).
6) Close down Think or Swim .. it will now save a new .json file to the settings folder.
7) Relaunch Think or Swim, and now any new symbol you load into Bookmap should use that initial setup you just did. Just remember that if you change a setting later down the road, it'll only show up as changed on the particular SYMB you changed it on, there doesn't appear to be a way to "Set As Default" or "Load Default" configs in the ToS version of Bookmap.
