Hello, everyone.
I have a problem with a file that I can't seem to figure out.
Every time I try to update or recreate the summary, all the text on the following pages disappears.
Can anyone help me understand what I'm doing wrong without having to redo everything?
I'M GOING CRAZY!!

I'm attaching a video and the file, hoping that someone can tell me what's wrong.

Hi @ANDREA MARCONI,

I know how stressful this can feel, thanks for sharing the details, the video, and the file. Could you please take a moment to check the issue discussed here and confirm whether it looks similar to what you are experiencing:

If it does seem to match, then this is a known issue. The product team has already worked on it, and a fix is planned to be released shortly. Please have a look at my pinned comment in the thread for the latest context around this.

Let me know what you observe after checking the linked discussion, and I will be happy to guide you on the next steps.

Hi @Abhishek Rao

I confirm that I tried to delete the table of contents and all the text from the document.
I tried again by creating some test text followed by a few submissions to simulate new paragraphs, and only then did I recreate a new table of contents.

As soon as I spread it out, everything disappears, so I would say that the problem is what you deduced.
I am attaching a new video.
How can I fix this?

Hello @13630885 MARCONI,

Thanks for the confirmation. Our team has fixed this in the latest Pre-release build.

Please install the latest pre-release (PR) build of InDesign version 21.2.0.25 or later and test the same workflow there. You can access it via the Creative Cloud Desktop App by going to Apps > Pre-release > InDesign, then install the latest available build and check if the behavior is resolved.

If you do not currently have access to InDesign pre-release builds, you can request access by following the steps in this guide:

You can also use these references to enroll and download pre-release builds:

Let us know how it goes.
