In version 21.5.1, the OAM files generated in Animate don't work

Hi! In InDesign version 21.5.1, the OAM files generated in Animate don't work when I preview the spread in EPUB, nor when I export the document in Publish Online. I had to revert InDesign to version 21.4.1 for it to work as it used to. Any ideas on how to use the latest version and get the OAM files working?

Thanks!

      Hi  Abhishek!

      With the new update of Indesign to version 21.6, do you think the problem with the OAM files is resolved?

      Thanks in advance!

      Hi @Astoria5CDC,


      Sorry you're running into this issue, especially since the OAM workflow was working correctly for you in the previous version.

      I was able to reproduce the behavior with OAM animation in InDesign 21.5.1 as well. I'm checking this further with our product team to confirm whether this is a known issue and will update this thread as soon as I have more information.


      Thanks for your patience and for reporting this!
