I could see potentially how importing the topic from a 2017 Classic project into a 2022 New UI one might not work - unless it knew enough to convert the topic as it imported it. But copy/pasting into a fresh topic should have worked (if it was a clean text copy/paste that you then formatted with your 2022 project styles).
You’ve verified that the content in the RH project is the new stuff, right? If you generate any other forms of output, the new topic is coming through fine?

Sorry, Jeff, for not actually answering your question … first, I deleted it, then imported it from the previous (2017) version of RH. Then, failing that, created a new (blank) topic, then copy/pasted the content from the previous version. Then tried deleting the PDF ToC and creating a new one from scratch … nada. Then tried deleting the PDF itself and its related ToC, recreated those from scratch … nada dos. running out of things to try...

How did you replace the old topic with the new one? Complete gutting of the existing topic & replacement with new content? Or delete the file entirely and add a new one?
Also, is there any version control at play here?

First, I replaced the old topic with a new one; that didn’t work, so i replaced the table of contents with a new one; no change, old topic still hanging on. Just a while ago, I deleted the Output Preset, the PDF, the PDF ToC and recreated from scratch. That little bugger is still there…

...and no, no version control at play...

So how exactly did you replace the old topic with a new one - file deletion or content swapping?
