Can't get the spool join option.

I just updated to the latest firmware 6.1.2 and I am trying to print a large model with the spool join feature.  I used Prusa Slicer 2.8.0 and copied the g-code to the usb drive.  When I select the model on my XL I only have the option to print and not continue like I have seen on youtube videos that explain how to use the feature.  When I select other models on my usb drive I get the continue button instead of print and it allows me to do the spool join feature and I believe it is because those models were sliced with PETG instead of PLA.  The model I am trying to print was sliced with PLA and PLA is loaded in both extruders on the XL.  Is there any way to tell it to spool join without slicing the model with wrong settings?

RE: Can't get the spool join option.

I’m experiencing the same exact issue. I cannot find any info about this anywhere.

Can't get the spool join option - me too.

I also find the "continue" option missing for some models and inly have the option to go straight to print. But I can't figure out the pattern. I sliced something for PETG in E1 and tried printing with nothing loaded in E1 and PLA in E2 and E3, and got the continue option. If I slice for PLA in E1 and the same filaments loaded (E1 empty, E2 & E3 PLA) I do not get the option. Tried loading PETG in E1 and print something sliced for PLA in E1, and did not get the option. What is going on? Running 5 tool Prusa XL with input shaping, firmware 6.2.6+8498.
