Hi @FuzzySlug,
This is likely either due to the session system not functioning or due to URLs being incorrectly handled so that query parameters do not work as expected.

Could you share your nginx configuration for BookStack or share any guide you used to install? You can omit any sensitive details. Ideally, also confirm the operating system in use.

Hi @FuzzySlug,
Within your first location block, I think you're missing a question mark, You have:

location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$query_string;
}

But this should be:

location / {
   try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}
