HTML5 > TOC > Keep Closed on Output Open

I recently upgraded from the RH2019 Classic Version and am now using RH2020. When the output is generated, it is opening the TOCs first topic and I would like to have it stay "closed". I'm wondering if there is a setting or something that I'm simply not seeing. I'm still trying to learn the different interface and features so anything is helpful, thank you.

 

Below is how it appears on the outputs.

 

Here is what I'd prefer

    The only way I can see that you will achieve that is to have the default topic as a page in the TOC above the books. The TOC opens the book containing the topic shown so not putting the topic in a book bypasses that.

    That looks to have resolved the issue. It's a generic page we use for all of our outputs but it will work. 

     

    Thank you.
