Number of InDesign files that are first shown in Home Screen

[Buzz16B8]

Greetings:

I'm running InDesign 16.4 on a Mac Book Pro Air. When I open InDesign, the three most recent files display. Can that be reset to show more recent files? I've looked in Preferences but can't find a likely way to do this.

Look under Preferences > File Handling...

Thank you, Peter, but it didn't work: Even though I had the max number set at thirty already, InDesign still shows only the most recent three documents. Several of the documents that would have been there have been moved to a flash drive; might that affect what is displayed? There still ought to be more than three displaying.

Hi @Buzz16B8:

Try rebuilding cache/preferences:

Hi there, 

Sorry to hear about the trouble you are facing. I would like to know if the steps suggested above by @Barb Binder worked for you? If not, I would request you to do the following steps and let us know how it goes:

• Please check if updating to v17.0.1 helps.

• Rename the CEP folder to CEP.old from the following location:
  /Library/Application Support/Adobe

• If that doesn't help, rename the extensions folder to extensions.old in the following location:
  /Library/Application Support/Adobe

• If that doesn't help either, uninstall the application using the CC Cleaner tool and reinstall from the Creative Cloud Desktop app.

Kindly update the discussion if you still need assistance with it. We'd be happy to help.

Thanks & Regards,

Anshul Saini
