apple configurator 2 does not save changes of home screen to iPad or iPhone

I use Catalina 10.15 with the first rolled out patch and Apple Configurator 2 to change the homescreens. If I have prepared the apps order and want to transfer to iPad Pro 12.9" or iPhone 6s the changes are not made on them. Both clients have the newest IOS.

Also the layout of the Configurator does not show correctly the surface of the iPad Pro, the window is too small to show the correct order.

Do you have the same problems?

iMac with Retina 5K display, macOS 10.15

Interestingly, if you try to modify the home screen wallpaper using Apple Configurator 2 the app

asks you to supervise the device before you can save changes.

Changes on my iPhone 6s now are saved, on iPad Pro 12,9“ there is a problem. The windows of the pages are not enough scalable to see all icons and so you cannot arrange them. Saving is working.

I'm getting this same error. Please update if you find a fix for this. Thanks.
