edited pcb module but edits don't appear when placing the module

I edited a pcb module, one I created and is present in my personal workspace by moving some component labels to better locations. I then saved the module. I opened a pcb I want to use the module in. I click on Library and select the pcb module I just edited. I then click place and give the module a unique prefix. I then drag the module footprint to its location on the pcb. However, the module does not have my recent edits. It appears to be the previous version. Is there a step I am missing?

Right-click **Refresh** your library before you place the module (or - not sure if this will be possible - try selecting the module in your PCB then do Update from Library).

EasyEDA has kind of a lot of bugs to be honest. For my updated footprints to change on my PCB I have to go back to the schematic, click on the symbol, click on footprint, click in the search box, hit enter to make it refresh, update and close the footprint window, then go to the PCB and import changes.

@THX1138, That not a bug. That's the workflow. Create a schematic with Symbols in it that have Footprints assigned to them. Convert the schematic to a PCB. The PCB pulls in the Footprints assigned to the Symbols. If you want to change a Footprint which is associated with a Symbol in the schematic from which the PCB was created then change the Footprint assigned to the Symbol in the schematic and then update the PCB.

@THX1138, AFAIK, you cannot assign a PCB Module to a Schematic Module in the same way that you can assign a PCB Footprint to a Schematic Symbol so discussing PCB Footprints and Schematic Symbols is not really relevant to a question about Modules.
