Buttons won't auto populate on canvas any longer? EDIT: SOLVED

This powerapps thing is very frustrating.

 

So I built a simple app that you cab click on say payment details or cases and navigate elsewhere. This worked perfectly in my testing and as soon as I created the button "cases" and put it under the first "Payment details", it auto populated all the other ones, so when I clicked on "cases" it lead correctly to the specific user for its colour. Then I went to do the exact same thing in my live version, and no matter how many times I add the cases button, it does not auto populate the rest of the empty fields under payment details, and if I do it manually, it leads only to the first colours page(white). Am I missing something very obvious here that I did without realizing the other day? On the test version, ALL the buttons are just labeled as one button(Button20) on the tree view, yet take you to the specific colours page. On the "real" version, they don't auto populate the canvas and if I add them manually, I end up with a giant list of buttons increasing in number on the tree view.

EDIT: Problem solved. For anyone else who comes across a similar issue in the future, you need to select "Edit gallery" and be in that mode, then when you add a button, it'll affect the entire gallery and not just one place.
