Hi everyone, Can anyone help me? I'm trying to create an InDesign snippet that contains a table, but every time I place it on the page, it messes up the layout. Has anyone experienced this before or knows how to fix it? Apologies for my english, please see the photo for reference before and after of my snippet

    Hi @daring_Dragonfly93fa,


    Sorry you're running into this issue with the table layout changing when placing the snippet.

    This appears similar to a known issue where table column widths can change during IDML/snippet-related workflows. Please refer to the report here:

    A fix is available for testing in the latest InDesign 21.6 Prerelease build. Could you please install it from Creative Cloud Desktop > All Apps > Prerelease and test the same snippet workflow?

    If you don't have access to the Prerelease program, please follow the steps here to join:

    Please let us know whether the issue persists in 21.6.


    Thanks,
    Abhishek
