so I am about to finish my thesis using a template the chair provided.
Yes of course I tried searching the net for solutions that fit this problem, but what I found was usually with regard to
Up to some point all was working good, but now new acronyms are not being printed into the glossary.
I had the problem once and fixed it somhehow, but don't recall how I did so unfortunately.
The behaviour is like this:
*New acronyms are not being transferred into the glossaries
*The main document gives me a "package glossaries warning: glossary entry 'hdr' has not been defined on line %blah%.
Yeah that's right, because 'hdr' is nowhere used in the document, so I do not include it in the glossary. If I do add the 'hdr' \newacronym{}, it even shows in the glossaries with an entry on page 48. On this page there is a figure but no hdr \gls{} command.
To me it looks like the system is somehow referencing an older, already compiled version stored somewhere.
How can I get the system to force it to compile new?
I am using sharelatex.com and am quite happy with it due to the lack of needed configuration and ability to work from anywhere.
The main.tex looks like this:
\piivsubject{Master Thesis}
% The title of your work.
\piivtitle{My Thesis}
% Your name.
\piivauthor{The Author}
% Name of your supervisor.
\piivsupervisor{Name of Supervisor}
% The date you submit your thesis. You can substitute the command with any date.
\date{\today}
% If you want to use the glossary make sure your 'makeindex' toolchain is working correctly.
% Alternetively, you might want to look into the 'xindy' option of the glossaries package.
\makeglossaries
\begin{document}
\input{src/glossary}

\printglossary
\fussy
\include{src/erklaerung}
% Consult your supervisor about the following declaration of assignment.
%\include{src/abtretungserklaerung}
% End of appendix
% ---------------------------------
\end{document}
I have no errors and no warnings, just some over- and underfull boxes, but the document looks how I want it to look.
What I find really weird is the reference of 'hdr' to page 48…..
Questions:
* can this in any way be connected?
* if it would work I could just as easily have the \newacronym{} commands in the main file instead of a separate glossary.tex file. I tried it once but didn't change anything.
Thanks a lot, any input is appreciated!

Answer posted by OP as an edit:
ehe, not long after posting this I fixed it myself.
What I did was the following: moved the glossary.tex file into the images folder and then compiled. This led to an error with no PDF created at all. Then I put back the glossary.tex file into the root of \src and pressed compile again.
To my suprise and joy it worked - working glossary again.
