Sorry for being daft. I just spent some time searching the forums for this answer but couldn't find anything. Not to say the answer isn't there but I could not find it . I just upgraded to BIAB 2025 from 2020. I have numerous third-party styles dating all the way back to 1998 and specific songs that go with them. How do I get BIAB to recognize these 3rd party styles in the stylepicker window? I have a few specific folders for my custom styles but am at a loss as were to put them so BIAB 2025 recognizes them. I tried doing a rebuild in the multi-style library under styles but when I click on rebuild the window that comes up only displays realtracks and realdrums locations. When I press rebuild the message window that comes up after the operation has completed states "No user or additional third-party styles were found". How do I direct the rebuild to my custom folders?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Sorry for not providing a clearer discription.I had entirely removed the 2020 version (including all Realtracks and Real Drums which are on a seperate drive) and did a clean install of 2025. The 2025 version was a download using the install manager from the PG music site. I then put put the 3rd party folders (2 folders) in the BB folder on the "C" drive. This worked in the past but not now. Thanks for getting back to me.

A Slow Build should do it.
When I open the Style picker, the Build icon gives two options: Fast and Slow build. Since you and I own third-party styles, we should always do a Slow Build. Slow is hardly any slower than fast anyway. The What Do I Have utility can only report what it is told to see. I have requested that there be only one type of build, a Slow build, so this problem cannot occur. My suggestion got no traction.
Note that I'm making a few assumptions:
1) you are not running BIAB 2017 or earlier, since the folders were in different places then, and
2) you put the 3rd-party styles in the same folder where the factory styles are
BIAB 2025 Win Audiophile. Software: Studio One 7 Pro, Swam horns, Acoustica-7, Notion 6, Song Master Pro, Win 11 Home. Hardware: Intel i9, 32 Gb; Roland Integra-7, Presonus 192 & Faderport 8, Royer 121, Adam Sub8 & Neumann 120 monitors.

Thanks Matt for your suggestion. I hadn't realized that I needed to put the third-party styles in the styles folder. Once I did that the style picker was able to recognize the new styles during the rebuild. Again thank you for your input.
