I'm using mac OS 10.15.7 and Adobe InDesign 2020 15.1.2.226. It has been working fine until a month or so ago. All of the sudden, the Links Panel & Object Styles Panel are blank. No matter which workspace, those 2 panels are blank now, all other panels are fine. I have no idea why this happened. I have not updated InDesign, however there has been an update to Creative Cloud and Acrobat within the time frame.
I opened an InDesign document created back in March that I knew the Links & Object Styles Panels functioned properly and found the Links Panel & Object Styles Panel on that old document are blank now.
Resetting workspaces didn't work. Selecting Links from the Windows menu comes up blank too.
I submitted 3 Screen Shots in JPEG format so it can be viewed in detail, of an InDesign document that has a number of placed photos and an Object Style on the photos. As you can see, those panels are blank.
I need to fix this, but I'm an old graphic designer with very, very limited knowledge about computer technology. I have found little related to my problem and the solutions don't apply or work. I asked a collegue with better expertise, he recommended Resetting the workspace or ask for help from Adobe Support. Resetting doesn't fix the problem, so I need expert help. I may be able to follow very specific step-by-step instructions. Anyone out there willing to help an old lady cross the street?
There are various ways to reset your preferences. What exactly have you done so far?
I have little doubt that this issue is due to corrupt cache and preferences, and you need to move beyond the basic keyboard reset option. I recommend deleting the files manually. The details are in the second half of this post.

The best way I've found is to unistall and be sure to to select "OK" when asked to delete preferences as well. When reinstalled, everything seems to work correctly.
