I created a link for review in indesign, update it a couple of time, but today the "update content' button has disappeared. Indesign only offers me to create a new link.
I did not change the file, or rename it, or copy it. (It still the same if I check the properties). The original review link is still available but i can't update it. And with all the people involve in the process, it would be a massive problem to create a new one.
Can i Relink my indesign file to the original review link ?

Do you use a Mac with Sequoia 15.0?

Several issues appear these days...

Hi @korteks,

I’m sorry to hear you’re experiencing issues with the ‘Update Content’ button in your InDesign review process. This sounds quite frustrating, especially with the need to maintain continuity in your review link due to the number of people involved.

To help you more effectively, could you please let me know which version of InDesign you are currently using, as well as the operating system you're on? This will allow us to replicate the conditions as closely as possible on our end. Additionally, is this issue occurring only with this particular file, or have you noticed it with other files as well?

If you’re able to share the InDesign file with us, we can take a deeper look into what might be causing the 'Update Content' button to disappear. You can upload it securely here or drop me a direct message, and rest assured we’ll handle your file with confidentiality.

In the meantime, try clearing your InDesign cache. Sometimes, corrupted cache files can cause unexpected behavior in the software.

If the above doesn’t solve the problem, creating a new review link might be unavoidable, but let’s try everything we can before resorting to that. I understand the complexities of coordinating with a large team and hope to help you resolve this with minimal disruption.

Looking forward to your reply with the additional details so we can address this promptly.

Best,

Abhishek Rao

Hello. Thanks for your answer.

I am on indesign 19.3. This problem appears only on this file. I can update everything else. So it's not a software problem.
Clearing cache did not change anything. I'll DM you for the file

Hi @korteks,

Thank you for providing the file and your patience as we work through this issue together. I tested it and was able to see the 'Update Content' button, and I successfully updated the file without any problems.

Since you're currently using InDesign version 19.3, I recommend updating to the latest version, 19.5. This update may contain fixes that could resolve the issue you're facing.

If the problem persists even after the update, could you please record a screen capture of the workflow demonstrating the issue? This will help us understand the situation better and assist you more effectively.

I appreciate your cooperation, and I'm here to help!

Best,
Abhishek Rao
