When I publish a file online and want to share it on social media, the small thumbnail image of the document does not appear. Instead, it just shows an empty field and a text, (see photo). The link to the file works, but it's not nice and right

If I'm understanding your problem, you want to share an image of a Publish Online document on social media. What is the process you're using to share the image?  What social media are you trying to use it in?

 

Also, please tell us more about your system: Please tell us what operating system (exactly) you're running. Please tell us (exactly) what InDesign version you're using.

I'm on a Mac in Ventura 13.1 using InDesign version 18.0. I'm getting the same result as you - no preview appears to show in Facebook even though a Preview image as included. It's not something I would do so I don't have an explanation.
